Text 1 uk Border Agency

The UK Border Agency (UKBA) is the border control body of the United Kingdom (UK) government and part of the Home Office. It was formed on 1 April 2008 by merger of the Border and Immigration Agency (BIA), UK visas and the port of entry functions of HM Revenue and Customs. The decision to create a single border control organization was taken following a Cabinet Office report.

The agency is divided into three broad command structures, each under the management of a senior director:

• external controls including visa issue in overseas posts;

• borders, including passport and customs control;

• internal immigration controls including asylum, management of applications for further stay and enforcement.

The UK Border Agency has a staff of 25,000 people located in over 130 countries. Overseas staff vet visa applications and operate an intelligence and liaison network, acting as the first layer of border control for the UK.

The organization uses iris scan and other biometrics at automatic clearance gates at ten locations in the UK. It is playing a leading role in the introduction of biometric identity cards for foreign nationals, which was first introduced during 2008, and which are based on fingerprint data.

The agency is responsible for in-country enforcement operations to detect immigration offenders including illegal entrants and overstayers. The body is also responsible for the deportation of foreign national criminals at the end of sentences and for combating illegal working.

UK Border Agency has 2 billion pounds annual budget and is under pressure to cut costs and recourses.
