Dear Office for National Statistics,
I am writing to you to request, under the Freedom of Information
Act, information regarding the presence of Mexican Citizens in the
UK.
I want information on the following questions:
1) How many Mexican Citizens are currently living in the UK?
2) Of that total how many are here with a Student Visa, how many
with a Work Visa, and how many with British citizenship?
3)Are there any Mexican citizens living illegally in the UK? If so,
how many?
4) Which are the 5 cities with the biggest Mexican population in
the UK? How many Mexicans live in each of those cities?
Thank you for your time.
Yours faithfully,

Thank you for your email requesting information about the presence of
Mexican Citizens in the UK. I am writing to confirm that the Office for

you requested and a copy of the information is enclosed.

Annual Population Survey which covers residents of the UK. The latest
estimates available are for the 12 month period of April 2009- March 2010.
The data shows that there are 9,000 Mexicans nationals resident in the UK.
The margin for error surrounding these estimates is +/- 4,000.
Questions 2 and 3 are for the Home Office who can be contacted at the
