MASSIVE DECLINATION IN NET IMMIGRATION FOR WORK AND STUDY ARRIVALS

27 November 2025
Net migration to the UK fell by two-thirds in the year ending June 2025 compared with the previous 12 months, provisional figures indicate.

The difference between the number of people arriving in the country and those leaving was 204,000, down from 649,000, with the fall mainly driven by fewer arrivals for work and study reasons, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.

It comes as Home Office figures show the number of people who claimed asylum in the year to September 2025 reached a record high of 110,051.

The figures also show the number of asylum seekers in hotels as of September rose by 2% compared with the same time last year.

The statistics form part of two separate releases published on Thursday - the ONS release on net migration to the year ending June 2025, and Home Office figures on the immigration system for the year ending September 2025.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer told GB News that the fall in net migration is a "step in the right direction".

This is the first set of ONS statistics on migration that covers nearly all of Labour's first year in government.

Net migration is two-thirds lower in the year up to June 2025 than it was the previous year.

The Home Office numbers show initial decisions on asylum claims have increased to 133,502 people receiving an initial decision across the year - almost half of which (45%) were granted.

"Decision making has reached a historically high level and the numbers of cases awaiting an initial decision fell 36% between September 2024 and September 2025, despite a record high number of asylum claims in this period," the release said.

The backlog of those waiting for a first decision has been declining steadily across the year, but there has been a growing backlog of appeals.

The government has committed to end the use of asylum hotels by the end of this parliament.

More than 36,000 people were being temporarily housed in hotels in September, Thursday's figures show.

This is up 13% on the last three months, but due to fluctuation over the last year represents a smaller increase - of 2% - from September 2024.

It is lower than the peak of 56,018 people in hotels at the end of September 2023.

It follows legal battles over the use of hotels with Epping Forest District Council saying earlier this week they would appeal against a High Court decision that rejected its case to close Epping's Bell Hotel to asylum seekers.

Responding to Thursday's statistics, a Home Office spokesperson said there were fewer than 200 hotels in use as they vowed "to close every single one".

"We are furious at the levels of illegal migrants and asylum hotels.

"Work is well under way to move illegal migrants into military bases to ease pressure on communities across the country."

Small boat arrivals saw an increase of 53% compared with the previous year, with 45,659 arriving via this route in the 12 months to September 2025. The Home Office release sets out that this figure is close to the 2022 peak which was 45,774.

"The increase in arrivals in 2025 has coincided with an increase in the average number of people arriving per small boat," it added.

Some 5,151 children (under 18s) crossed the Channel in small boats and claimed asylum in this time period - 2,700 of whom were accompanied.

The prime minister's spokesperson said the government "accepts that the number of small boat crossings is too high".

Separately, 153 migrants have been removed from the UK to France under the pilot "one in one out" scheme.

A return flight today included the individual who was removed on 16 October and returned to the UK via small boat on 8 November (he has not been counted twice).

A total of 134 people have been brought to the UK through this scheme.

The figures released by the ONS, on net migration, take into account those who are claiming asylum in the UK after having entered via both regular and irregular routes - as well as other forms of immigration. They relate to people who have changed their place of residence for a period of 12 months or more.

FEW THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE UK

FREE HEALTHCARE SERVICES FOR ALL RESIDENTS The UK has free public healthcare services for all her residents. This was set up by the British government- the National Healthcare Service (NHS) in 1948, making healthcare accessible for everyone. This service is funded by income tax- So pay your TAX 😄

THE UK PUBLIC HOLIDAYS ARE DIFFERENT
The UK has fewer public holidays – or ‘Bank Holidays’, as it's mostly referred to. There is no celebration of Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Labor Day, or Columbus Day!

There are eight bank holidays in England and Wales, nine in Scotland, and ten in Northern Ireland.

To make up for fewer public holidays, most employers in the UK will reward you with plenty of paid time off to relax. In fact, almost all full-time workers in the UK are legally entitled to at least 28 days of paid annual leave

It's a beautiful saturday!! As you are cleaning the house and doing your laundry, take time out today to clean your CV, dust your certificates, get some trainings. I have attached below a link of UK tier 2 employers within the healthcare sector.
Who are tier 2 sponsors? They are organisations that holds a sponsorship licence and can offer a certificate of sponsorship to a worker that meets their criteria, which in turn provides the worker the ability to apply for a work visa when all uk requirements are met, but in this attachment its just within the healthsector as there are other sectors.
