2024年,联合王国净移民人数为431 000人,大多数入境者合法入境,寻求庇护者的身份不确定。 In 2024, the UK had a net migration of 431,000, with most arrivals entering legally and asylum seekers facing uncertain status.

据国家统计局统计,2024年,联合王国净移民人数为431 000人,其中948 000人流动,517 000人离开。 In 2024, the UK recorded a net migration of 431,000, with 948,000 people moving in and 517,000 leaving, according to the Office for National Statistics. 多数抵达者合法地通过工作、学习、家庭或人道主义签证(包括乌克兰人、阿富汗人和香港海外英国国民的重新安置方案)来抵达。 Most arrivals came legally through work, study, family, or humanitarian visas, including resettlement programs for Ukrainians, Afghans, and Hong Kong’s British Nationals Overseas. 由于担心受到迫害而抵达并申请保护的寻求庇护者不会自动获得难民地位;有些人反而得到人道主义保护。 Asylum seekers, who arrive and request protection due to fear of persecution, are not automatically granted refugee status; some receive humanitarian protection instead. 未经许可进入联合王国,例如通过英吉利海峡入境,是刑事犯罪,尽管寻求庇护本身并非非法。 Entering the UK without permission, such as by crossing the English Channel, is a criminal offense, though seeking asylum itself is not illegal. 合法移徙与非法移徙之间的区别仍然是联合王国政策和公共辩论的中心问题。 The distinction between legal and illegal migration remains a central issue in UK policy and public debate.
