evidence: While irregular migration is often in the spotlight, the reality is that irregular entries account for a small fraction of migration in the EU. [...] In 2022, around 17,300 people in need of international protection were resettled from non-EU countries to EU Member States, 6% less than in 2021 but 97% more than in 2020. [...] Under joint EU resettlement schemes, more than 117,000 persons found protection in the EU since 2015. In addition, since 2021, more than 46,000 persons, mostly Afghans at risk, arrived to the EU via humanitarian admission. Member States receive support from the EU budget for resettlement and humanitarian admission.
