Destination countries

Two countries, the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan, are the destinations for the vast majority of Central Asian migrants (Nikiforova and Brednikova, 2018). However, movements to the European Union have been increasing, particularly to Germany (see Table 4). This section looks at the migration trends into the European Union, the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan to examine the scale of migration into these countries; the importance of migration to these countries for migrants and for the countries themselves; and the legal, policy and bilateral/regional agreements governing immigration.
