A common misconception.

The facts show a much bigger picture.

People move for many different reasons, including work, family, study and protection. In 2024, the EU approved nearly 10 million Schengen visas and issued 3.5 million first residence permits, while around 1 million asylum applications were recorded.

Asylum is part of migration. It is not the whole story.

Swipe. Look closer. Challenge the myth.
