Version 3 removes nationality headings which use ethnic background to distinguish migrants, for example "Crimean Tatars". These categories proved difficult to assign geographically and were removed entirely from the dataset, and their numbers subtracted from the country totals. These had previously been included to facilitate research on ethnicity. Other headings referring to totals largely incorporating nationals were likewise removed. This included those persons who possessed dual nationality and ambiguous "ignored" totals. Additionally, Srivastava and Sasikumar (2005) was drawn upon to supplement the database with information on the estimated number of migrants from India abroad in the Middle East.

Version 4, though the fullest, is arguably the least accurate set of data. This version supplements the foreign-born matrix with shares across sending countries derived from the nationality matrix, augments the foreign-born matrix with the United Nations (2004) totals for 2000 where no other data were available, and reconciles all of the remainder categories. Finally, it scales all the data predating 2000 to the United Nations (2004) total for that year. As each of these steps represents a large adjustment, version 4 is 11
