Both population estimates and census data record those long-term migrants who have lived or intend to live in the EU for more than a year.
Totals may not sum due to rounding. The mid-year estimates refer to the population on 30 June of the reference year and are published annually. They are the official set of population estimates for the UK and its constituent countries, the regions of England and Wales and local authorities. The estimates account for long-term international migrants people who change their country of usual residence for a period of 12 months or more , but do not account for short-term migrants people who come to or leave the country for a period of less than 12 months.

The United Nations UN migrant stock contains estimates of the total number of international migrants by country or area by sex, age and origin.
Estimates refer to 1 July of the reference year. Most of the data used to estimate the international migrant stock by country or area were obtained from population censuses. Additionally, population registers and nationally representative surveys provided information on the number and composition of international migrants. In estimating the international migrant stock, international migrants have been equated with the foreign-born population whenever this information is available, which is the case in most countries or areas.
In most countries lacking data on place of birth, information on the country of citizenship of those enumerated was available, and was used as the basis for the identification of international migrants, thus effectively equating, in these cases, international migrants with foreign citizens. The availability of data on total migrant stock, as well as on the age and origin of international migrants, differs significantly between major areas.
The estimates of the total migrant stock take into account the estimated size of the total population in the country of destination based on the World Population Prospects: The Revision. Specific country circumstances — such as sudden in- or out-migration due to conflict, economic booms or busts, and major changes in migration policies — were also taken into consideration.
