This database provides estimates of annual temporary migration flows to OECD countries. The estimates are mainly based on the number of newly granted permits/visas issued to foreign citizens, provided by NSOs or Ministerial statistical services. Temporary migration flows are classified into 6 groups: international students newly registered in a tertiary education programme; migrants participating in a work-travel exchange programs; intra-corporate transferees; trainees; seasonal foreign workers; and other foreign workers participating in national temporary migration programmes. Note that selected temporary movements are excluded from our estimates of temporary migration inflows. These are: tourists; crews; persons in transit; business visitors; diplomats; journalists; job-search visa holders; religious workers; sportspersons; artists; performers; posted workers. Short-term movements under free-movement agreements are not included in this dataset. Asylum seekers are not included in this data set. See the following tables.
