Asylum reception in figures (COA)

Ministerie van Asiel en Migratie

How many people live in COA reception, how many arrive and leave each month, which countries they come from and how many already have a residence permit and are waiting for a home. The Ministry of Asylum and Migration publishes these migration chain figures monthly as CSV on data.overheid.nl, one file per year. National figures: not per municipality or per location.
