Refugees: Northern Ireland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many refugees there are by nationality in Northern Ireland.
Answered by Mike Tapp
Data on refugees by location and nationality is published in the Immigration system statistics quarterly release - GOV.UK.
Data on resettled refugees by UK region is published in table Res_D01 and by nationality in table Res_D02 of the resettlement detailed datasets.
Data on asylum seekers in receipt of support, by nationality and UK region, is published in table Asy_D09 of the asylum support datasets. An asylum seeker does not receive refugee status until after their claim is granted refugee permission. Please note that the Home Office does not track the addresses of those granted refugee status, and refugees are free to move around the UK or leave.
The latest data is available up to the end of June 2025. Information on how to use the datasets can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook.
