Office for National Statistics, long-term international migration, provisional (OGL v3.0). Each bar is a rolling 12-month period ending in the quarter shown, rounded by ONS to the thousand. ONS changed its methods from the year ending June 2021, when the estimates moved to administrative data, and advises care when comparing periods before and after that point; the EU+ group adds Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland from then. The latest periods are provisional and will be revised.
How many people moved to and from the UK for at least a year, and the difference between the two, from the Office for National Statistics. Net migration is immigration minus emigration; each point covers the 12 months to the end of a quarter.
