UK Border Agency

The UK Border Agency was a government organization responsible for managing immigration, visas, and customs control at the UK’s borders. It handled tasks such as processing immigration applications, checking travelers' documents, and preventing illegal entry. In 2013, it was replaced by separate agencies—such as UK Visas and Immigration and UK Border Force—to improve efficiency and security. Overall, its goal was to regulate who enters and stays in the UK, ensuring lawful immigration and border security while facilitating legitimate travel and trade.
