The number of people immigrating to Norway deceased from 2011 to 2020, before increasing in 2021 and 2022. The high number of immigrants arriving in 2022 must be seen in relation with the high number of refugees from Ukraine arriving after the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war that year.

A high number of immigrants from Poland

Most of the people immigrating to Norway come from other European countries as Norway is a member of the European Economic Area (EEA. It is not a full EU-member). With the exception of Ukrainian refugees and immigrants with an unknown origin, the highest number of immigrants came from Poland in 2022. Poles are also the biggest group of immigrants living in Norway.

Most emigrants move to Sweden

The number of people emigrating from Norway was at its higest in 2016, when 40,000 people left the country. It then decreased until 2019, before increasing again in 2021, reaching 34,000 emigrants. In 2021, the highest numbr of emigrants moved to Sweden.
