Description

This codelist represents a list of codes indicative of a specific immigration status (e.g. indefinite leave to remain) excluding refugee or asylum-related statuses.

Methodology

Search strategy This codelist was created by searching for the following terms and then selecting codes that were relevant to this aspect of migration status:

  • citizenship
  • dependant visa
  • immigra
  • indefinite leave
  • spouse visa
  • visa
  • work permit
  • overseas

26/03/26 - Removed migration as these codes are associated with tumour migration.

Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.

We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.
