Statistics and publications

Do you want to learn more about our work and our results? Then have a look at our statistics and publications. And those of other organisations in the migration system.

Asylum Trends

The IND produces a monthly report on asylum applications in the Netherlands: the asylum trends.

Monthly figures on regular migration

On this page, the IND publishes figures regarding regular applications. These include applications for relatives and family, familiy reunification, study, employment, and knowledge and talent.

Annual and four-monthly figures

Every four months, the IND reports on its performance through its four-monthly figures. These publications provide insight into the work we do.

Trend analyses, policy monitors and evaluations

IND produces trend analyses, policy monitors, and evaluations in the fields of asylum and migration. We also coordinate *ex ante* implementation assessments (EAUTs), through which we map out the effects of planned policy changes.

Migration Radar

Do you want to know everything about migration flows of asylum seekers to Europe and the Netherlands? And the latest developments in the field of (asylum) migration? Find out more here.

Complaints handling

On this page, we provide insight into how the IND handles complaints. The IND considers it important that the person filing a complaint feels heard and that we learn from complaints. This enables us to improve our services.

Work instructions and country-specific information

In addition to laws and policies we also use other information to process applications. For example work instructions. Are you curious? Then have a look at these public documents. In them, you can find an explanation about policies and case law – or instructions for an application process. Or the current situation in a country of origin (only in Dutch available).
