The statistic displays the results of a survey regarding the length of time for which Dutch people have been residing outside the Netherlands in 2018. The survey results show that a very large share of Dutch migrants surveyed had been living abroad for more than five years. Over 75 percent of people surveyed indicated that they had been resident in their current country for over five years, while just one percent of respondents had lived in their current location for less than six months.
