The Netherlands recorded about 840 people entering the asylum system in week 42, according to provisional figures published by the Dutch government on 19 October 2026. The total includes first and repeat asylum applications, resettlement, relocation and family members joining people already in the country. [1]
The government’s breakdown lists 500 first applications, 250 family members who travelled to the Netherlands (excluding those covered by Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights) and 100 other applications, including repeat applications, resettlement and relocation. [1]
The figures are rounded to the nearest ten and may differ slightly from final totals. The government says the Immigration and Naturalisation Service publishes definitive asylum figures and trends monthly. [1]
