Long-term international migration flows; people, year to mid-2024.
UK long-term international migration flows are compared for the year to mid-2024. The values count people immigrating, emigrating and the resulting net balance on the same ONS measurement basis. Immigration is estimated at 1,235,300 people, compared with 496,500 emigrants. The difference produces net international migration of 738,700 people.
| Rank | Entry | Value | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Immigration | 1.24M | year to mid-2024 |
| 2 | Net international migration | 738.7K | year to mid-2024 |
| 3 | Emigration | 496.5K | year to mid-2024 |
Source 1: Population estimates for the UK, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland: mid-2024

Evidence: Supports immigration, emigration and net international migration for the year to mid-2024.
The figures use the population-estimates migration method and differ slightly from the separate provisional UK migration bulletin because Northern Ireland uses a different method and data source.
The three values are taken from the ONS UK population estimates bulletin for the year to mid-2024. Net migration is checked as immigration minus emigration.
All three measures use one ONS release, the same year-to-mid-2024 period and people unit.
