*Figures for 1972-1976 include PRC passport holders with onward visas.
Figures from 1977 exclude PRC passport holders with onward visas. Figures from 23 December 1982 exclude double journey permit holders.
** Estimates before October 1980 are calculated on the basis of 90% evaders surfaced for identity cards and 10% of
evaders who would never surface. Estimates after 01-07-87 are calculated in accordance with the new evasion ratio 1: 0.25 and the figure has been derived after the deduction of IIs who surrendered to VIC and SUL during the month.
