Description

This table contains figures on immigrants living in the Netherlands who have come to the Netherlands with a nationality of a country outside the European Union (EU) or European Free Trade Association (EFTA). The data are broken down by gender, age group, nationality, migration motive, naturalisation, socio-economic category and year of immigration. The figures refer to the reporting period 1999 to 2022. Immigrants from outside the EU/EFTA need a residence permit from the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND). The migration motive of immigrants from non-EU/EFTA countries is based on the permit of the IND. Although the United Kingdom left the EU as of 31 January 2020, a Withdrawal Agreement continued to allow free movement of persons until 31 December 2020. For migrants from the United Kingdom, the migration motive is therefore only known if they have immigrated after 31 December 2020. This table only includes immigrants who, at the time of immigration, were nationals of countries that were not members of the EU or EFTA at the reference date of 31 December. Immigrants from countries that joined the EU or EFTA after 1999 are included in this table until the year of accession. Immigrants from countries that left the EU or EFTA after 1999 are included in this table from the year of exit. Example: immigrants from the United Kingdom are included in this table as of 2020, regardless of the year of immigration. Data available from: 1999 Status of figures: The figures in this table are provisional. Subsequent information has been incorporated into the figures for the previous periods. As a result, small deviations with previously published figures are possible. Amendments as at 31 October 2024: None. This is a new table. When will there be new figures? Figures for 2024 will be published in October 2025.
