New data shows that about 920,000 British citizens hold residence permits in EU countries at the end of 2025. The figures indicate that these permits are not evenly distributed across Europe.
According to the reporting, most British residence permits are concentrated in three EU countries. Other outlets do not provide additional breakdowns or comparisons in the material provided, so the sources agree on the overall total and the concentration pattern but not on further details such as exact country shares or changes over time.
