In FY2022, Venezuela and Mexico had the highest number of overstays among visitors for business or pleasure, accounting for 23% and 17%, respectively, of the total among this admission category. Among students and exchange visitors, China and India were outliers with 16% and 9% of the total overstays in this category. For the "other" admission category (comprised mostly of temporary workers), Mexico and India each accounted for about 11% of total overstays, and the Philippines accounted for 10%.
