You asked
Please could you send me information about the countries that UK citizens moved to in the past year broken down by country?
We said
Thank you for your request.
Currently we do not hold information concerning the country in which UK residents emigrate to. Our Long-term international immigration, emigration and net migration flows, provisional dataset includes breakdowns by nationality and breakdowns by reason for migration.
For emigration of non-EU nationals, we publish this by original reason for migration. For example, "emigration for study" of non-EU nationals are those who originally came to the UK to study and then subsequently left. The reason for migration of non-EU nationals are derived from their visa type (for example, study is comprised of study visas, both main applicants and dependents).
The Home Office or the Migration Observatory may have further information that could help with your request.
