"*The figure for net migration will not sum exactly to the total of immigration minus emigration, because it is published as a rounded figure by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Figures from government or other official sources used in this report can be revised retrospectively between publications. This page only displays data as it is presented in the latest release."
"ONS figures for immigration and emigration are update twice per year. Small boats figures from the Home Office are updated daily. Asylum, returns and visa figures from the Home Office are updated every three months. The number of people appealing against a refused asylum decision is updated every three months by the Ministry of Justice at a different time to other government figures on asylum."
"Visas for legal migration Data for total entries via visas only includes those granted. It does not include people coming to the UK on a visitor visa or those on a transit visa - whose final destination is not the UK. Visa figures do not show if or when an individual arrived in the UK, but marks the point at which they were granted permission to do so."
Net migration to the UK has fallen close to pre‑Covid levels. Net migration uses the ONS definition of a long‑term migrant, a person who moves to another country for at least a year. The published net migration figure is rounded and may not equal immigration minus emigration. ONS immigration and emigration statistics are updated twice yearly. Home Office small boats figures are updated daily. Home Office asylum, returns and visa figures are updated every three months. Ministry of Justice data on asylum appeals is produced quarterly on a different timetable. Visa entry data counts grants only and excludes visitor or transit visas.
