Statisctics Poland presents annually an estimate of the number of Polish residents temporarily staying abroad (the stock of Polish immigrants in other countries). The first estimate, taking into account the years 2004-2006, was published in October 2007; the next - in the following years 2008-2020. The estimate presented below shows the number of emigrants from Poland temporarily staying abroad – as reported at the end of each year (in the period 2004-2005 and 2010-2020). Therefore, these data are not migration flows - the total number of departures (Poles leaving their homeland) in particular years, and as such cannot be summed up.
