Since 2020, when the United Kingdom left the European Union, fewer Brits are coming to the Netherlands. Until 2019, immigration from Brits was actually increasing. The number of Dutch people leaving for the United Kingdom has further decreased. This is reported by Statistics Netherlands (CBS).

In 2024, 3.0 thousand Brits (people born in the United Kingdom) settled in the Netherlands, compared to 6.5 thousand in 2019. The number of Brits returning to the United Kingdom from the Netherlands has also decreased since 2020. There were 2.2 thousand in 2024, almost a thousand fewer than in 2019. Net (immigration minus emigration) 790 Brits moved to the Netherlands.

Departure of Dutch to the UK continues to decline

Since 2015, fewer Dutch people (people born in the Netherlands) are emigrating to the United Kingdom. Back then, it was still over 4 thousand. In 2024, this number was 1.3 thousand, the lowest number in thirty years.

Fewer Dutch people are also returning. Net (immigration minus emigration) only a few dozen Dutch people left for the United Kingdom in 2024. In 2015, that number was still 2.3 thousand.
