Globally, millions of people move to other countries on an annual basis, and the numbers are expected to increase over time. According to a Gallup poll, almost 640 million adults would like to immigrate. The United Nations reports that there were 191 million international immigrants in 2005 – or about 3% of the total world population. In 2006, the United States and Europe welcomed 70 million immigrants, followed by Asia with 25. These are the largest numbers in history and are expected to increase as populations in those countries rise.

A major factor affecting the emergence of new countries in the region is emigration, which involves people moving out of one country to another. There are various sources of emigration and immigration records that record the names of people coming to a new country. These records may include passenger lists, emigration permissions, and passports issued by foreign governments. Depending on the country, these records may include details about the emigrants, including their names, ages, places of origin, and birthplace.

UK

The rate of economic migrants entering the UK with a working contract has also steadily increased. During the period between 1996 and 2000, very few foreigners had been granted a working visa, but by the end of that year, it had jumped to 860. By 2006, the number had reached 7,993 (a rise of 82%) and continued to increase to its current level. Further, this increase has been caused by an increase in the number of refugees entering the UK with a working permit.

Romania

The Romanian population is over ten percent immigrant. The majority of them are hundreds and thousands of Hebrews, Germans, Americans, Austrians, Italians, Romanians, and Poles. The country is also home to many Chinese.

In recent years, Romania has seen an influx of immigrants. They came to the country to work in the country, and have been settling in the city. It is estimated that more than a million foreigners live in the county surrounding Bucharest, including Chinese, Japanese, Americans, Germans, Austrians, Swiss and Norwegians.
