From Gov UK
When your claim might not be considered
Your claim might not be considered if you:
- are from an EU country
- travelled to the UK through a ‘safe third country’
- have a connection to a safe third country where you could claim asylum
Generally, a
safe third country is one that:
- you’re not a citizen of
- you would not be harmed in
- would not send you on to another country where you would be harmed
Also
Documents you must provide
You’ll need documents for yourself and your dependants (partner and children under 18) for your
asylum screening.
Documents you should bring (if you have them) include:
- passports and travel documents
- identification documents, for example identity cards, birth and marriage certificates or school records
- anything you think will help your application

So many turn up on the boats without documents.
On the basis of the above, should anyone turning up in the boats be considered a true asylum seeker.
