如果他们想要参观对英国为工作、研究或者旅游业，在全世界100个国家要求签证申请人提供指印。 生物统计的节目 从上9月跑打算记录申请英国签证的每个外国人指印在2008年4月前。

Fingerprints taken as part of the visa application process are checked against government records to see if the individual is already known to the Border and Immigration Agency.

This has already seen over 8,000 sets of prints matched to individuals “of concern” which the government said proves the effectiveness of the biometric checks.

Immigration minister Liam Byrne said it’s not just abroad that these fingerprint records are used. Once these individuals are in the UK the Immigration Services use the same database for enforcement activity, such as illegal working operations.

The government said over 700,000 sets of prints had been collected by the end of August.
