Poland becomes top 10 destination for British migrants

According to the latest United Nations data, Poland has emerged as one of the top ten locations for Britons moving abroad. Over the last decade, the number of UK residents in Poland has tripled, ranking high in the international rankings for Brexit migration.

Poland becomes top 10 destination for British migrants
By Nikodem Baran | Last Updated: 3 Sep 2025
Fast Growing Numbers
Data evaluated by 5 Real Estate shows the British population in Poland has increased by 340 percent from 41,000 in 2015 to almost 185,000 in 2024. This large increase has helped Poland to obtain the seventh ranking on the list of chosen migration countries by UK citizens.

Australia, the US and Canada still form the top three popular choices, and each of the European countries is showing very good growth. Spain is still the most popular European country for Britons, with a global ranking of fourth, with 294,000 people having resident in 2024, which is a slight rise on numbers 10 years earlier.

Romania saw the largest proportional increase, increasing from 6,600 British population in 2015 to 48,700 in 2024, an increase of 636 percent. It is thought this may have been due to migrants, who have spent their working years and migrated to the UK, returning to Romania, where they have citizenship, rather than a new wave of British-born citizens moving country.

The numbers, further evidence of increasing British migration to Eastern Europe, indicate Poland's numbers are likely reflecting both its economic opportunities as well as the now considerable UK resident community in the country. Experts warn, however, that the country has a long way to go before reversing the highly unreliable migration from Eastern Europe to the UK.
