Migration / capability
Four numbers. Four different populations.
A visa, an insured worker and a refugee are not units of brain gain.
ONE Passes issued in 2024; about one in six to new entrants
insured foreign nationals, end 2024
original 120,000+ Golden Visas claim lacks a dated official count
refugees from Ukraine recorded globally, December 2025
The later stages are not measured by these four headlines.
In 2024 Singapore issued about 3,000 ONE Passes, with about one in six going to new entrants. The supplied map’s other headline figures count different populations or lack a verifiable definition.
These numbers cannot be ranked on one scale. Pass issuance, insurance registration and displacement do not establish skill match, retention or institutional contribution; the UAE headline count remains unverified.
