Thirteen individuals, including four asylum seekers, have been identified trying to enter the Isle of Man illegally in the last 12 months.
Isle of Man Today reports that in one case the costs of enforcement removal totalled more than 22,000 pounds.
Details have been given in a Freedom of Information request.
The Treasury was asked how many people have been identified since January 2025 as entering or attempting to enter the island from the UK or Republic of Ireland who did not have an immigration permission which was valid in the Isle of Man.
Four were asylum seekers, four had cancelled visas, one had no permission to enter and four were overstayers.
In five cases, the port of departure and method of travel to the island was unknown.
All cases have been reported to the UK Home Office.
