flag UK net migration fell to 204,000 by June 2025, the lowest since 2021, due to stricter immigration rules.

flag Net migration to the UK dropped to 204,000 in the year ending June 2025, the lowest level since 2021 and a 69% decline from the previous year, driven by stricter immigration policies introduced by the previous Conservative government and continued by the current Labour government. flag The drop followed reduced arrivals for work and study, especially among non-EU nationals, and rising emigration, including former students from India and China. flag Policies such as higher salary thresholds, bans on dependants for most students, and longer wait times for settled status contributed to the decline. flag Despite the drop, public concern over immigration remains high, fueled by visible small boat arrivals from France, with many voters unaware of the downward trend.
