The asylum inflow in week 43 was about 770 people, according to the Ministry of Justice and Security. It was made up of 520 first asylum applications, 220 family members who followed refugees to the Netherlands (nareizigers, excluding 8 EVRM cases) and 40 other applications.

The other applications are repeat applications, resettlement and relocation. The figures are rounded to the nearest ten and are provisional, so they may differ marginally. The Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) publishes final asylum figures and trends monthly on its website.
