Migration chain: IND EU Documents Decisions

See the 'State of Migration' or 'Rapportage Immigration Chain' (until 2020) for a substantive explanation of the data in this dataset. See chapter 'Methodology' for a number of aspects that should be taken into account when interpreting the data. The 'State of Migration' and 'Rapportage Immigration Chain' can be downloaded from the site www.Rijksoverheid.nl. EU citizens who are not yet free on the Dutch labor market (EU document not required) can apply for an EU document. Third-country national family members of EU citizens (EU document required) must apply for an EU document. It is not an application for admission, but an application for proof of the right of residence based on the free movement of persons. The document shows the conditions under which people may work in the Netherlands (access to the labor market). The figures on EU documents do not provide any insight into the total number of EU citizens residing in the Netherlands because the application for an EU document is voluntary for them. There are a number of aspects that need to be taken into account when interpreting the data. - All numbers are rounded to tens. Numbers less than 5 are not shown. - Because the numbers are rounded to the nearest tens, deviations may occur when adding detailed numbers compared to, for example, the annual total. For detailed rules with nationalities, the deviation can be significant. For this reason, the main totals are included in the file. - Each line in the file contains at least a column 'Total of' and a number. The 'Total of' column shows the contents of the number. For example, the line with 'Year' in the 'Total of' column indicates the year total. The lines with 'Year, Month' in the 'Total of' column indicate the total number for each year and month. - Always use only one 'total of' per item to avoid double counting. - The numbers stated in the 'Rapportage Immigration Chain' serve as a frame of reference. The file is published monthly and contains data for the current year. New files may contain corrections to previous months. Files from previous years remain available and will no longer be updated.
