Asylum and Migration Overview 2025

The EMN Asylum and Migration Overview (AMO) 2025 provides insights into the most significant legislative, policy and operational developments in asylum and migration across 30 EMN Member and Observer Countries in 2025. The report identifies key trends, including a decline in irregular border crossings and first-time asylum applications, alongside continued efforts to attract highly qualified workers, students and other international talent through targeted legal migration pathways. It also highlights developments in asylum and reception systems, integration policies, digitalization, border management, support for displaced persons from Ukraine, protection of vulnerable groups, and international cooperation with third countries. Drawing on national contributions, Eurostat data and EU-level developments, the AMO serves as a comprehensive resource on migration and asylum trends across Europe.
