UNHCR reports international protection populations. This map does not cover all economic migration, net migration or people displaced within their own country. Categories are presented separately.
In 2025, 28,287,205 of 28,461,306 people in the selected source category are assigned to identified country pairs (99.4%). Other records lack two identified countries or refer to the same location. Filters and the arrow limit further narrow the view.
An arrow connects origin and host countries. It does not identify a journey, border crossing or transit country. Width represents the reported count; missing values appear as “—”, never zero. Rankings compare the same year and category.
