|November 28, 2025
Indian students and workers on Thursday topped the tally of visa-holders leaving the UK as the country's latest net migration data revealed a significant drop of 204,000, down 80% from a peak in 2023.
The UK's Office for National Statistics (ONS) data reveals that around 45,000 Indians on study visas and 22,000 professionals on work-related visas had left the UK as their country of residence in the year ending June 2025.
An additional 7,000 Indian nationals logged under the "other" visa category also left the country, making up a total of 74,000 Indian emigrants followed by 42,000 Chinese nationals as the second highest in the UK's exit tally.
"Indian was the most common non-EU (European Union) nationality to emigrate (or leave) from the UK," the ONS states in its data release.
