The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office does not collect statistics relating specifically to border control measures implemented in overseas jurisdictions and cannot provide information on the number of British travellers refused entry as a result of 90/180 Schengen visit limits. The latest information on Schengen area refusals is collected by the European Union and can be found on the Eurostat Website.
