Quarterly migration summary, including long-term international migration (LTIM), National Insurance number allocations to adult overseas nationals from the Department for Work and Pensions, and visa data from the Home Office.

Publications

Migration Statistics Quarterly Report: Dec 2016 (/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration/bulletins/migrationstatisticsquarterlyreport/dec2016)

The Migration Statistics Quarterly Report (MSQR) is a summary of the latest official long-term international migration statistics published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the Home Office and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

Comparing sources of international migration statistics: February 2018 update (/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration/articles/comparingsourcesofinternationalmigrationstatistics/december2016)

There are many sources of official statistics about international migration to and from the UK, each valuable in its own right in measuring particular aspects of international migration. This note outlines the differences between the data sources and points to more detailed articles regarding this.

Note on the differences between Long-Term International Migration flows derived from the International Passenger Survey and estimates of the population obtained from the Annual Population Survey: December 2016 (/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration/articles/noteonthedifferencesbetweenlongterminternationalmigrationflowsderivedfromtheinternationalpassengersurveyandestimatesofthepopulationobtainedfromtheannualpopulationsurvey/december2016)

The differences between the APS and IPS and why the net long-term international migration estimates from the IPS are the recommended measure of net international migration flow.
