The Home Office published "Immigration system statistics, year ending June 2026" on 27 August 2026. The release is quarterly and covers people coming to the UK, extensions of stay, citizenship, asylum, detentions and returns.
The figures come from Home Office administrative sources. The release text says it covers the period up to the end of March 2026. The release title refers to the year ending June 2026, and the source text does not explain the difference between the two.
The release lists these topics:
- passenger arrivals and visitors
- work
- study
- family
- safe and legal routes
- stopping organised immigration crime
- illegal entry routes
- asylum claims
- granted asylum
- total cases in the asylum system

The Home Office also points to supporting material: a user guide to Home Office Immigration statistics, a timeline of policy and legislative changes affecting migration to the UK, a note on developments in migration statistics, and a note on publishing detailed datasets. It also lists the Migration analysis at the Home Office collection page.
A range of key input and impact indicators is published separately on the Migration transparency data webpage. Questions and feedback can be sent to MigrationStatsEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk.
