In 2023, 663,000 more people moved to Germany than left, a significant decrease from the 2022 immigration surplus largely attributed to fewer Ukrainian refugees entering the country.
German nationals have been emigrating more than immigrating since 2005, with lower emigration numbers in 2023. Turkey saw a 56% increase in immigrants, offsetting the decreased European immigration.
Destatis reported a 28% decrease in total immigration to Germany in 2023 compared to the previous year, with 1,933,000 immigrants and 1,270,000 emigrants recorded.
The top destinations for German nationals emigrating from Germany in 2023 were Switzerland, Austria, and the US, consistent with previous years, according to Destatis.
