Net migration to the UK fell to 171,000 in 2025, new figures show – the lowest level since 2012, excluding the Covid pandemic
The figure reached a peak of 944,000 in the year to March 2023, but has been falling.
The Office for National Statistics said the main reason behind the fall last year was a drop in non-EU nationals arriving for "work-related reasons", which was down 47%.
However, the decrease in net migration is "likely to be temporary", the Migration Observatory said, as "lower immigration will eventually feed through into lower emigration".
