The map below shows the Venezuelan diaspora in the world.

Not every place has dropped their latest 2024 or 2025 numbers, so we’re probably undercounting a bit. Then there’s the big news from January 3, 2026, when US forces helped nab Maduro, shaking things up big time. It might mean more folks leaving if chaos sticks around, or maybe some heading back if stability kicks in – too soon to tell.

The map above, created by The World in Maps, shows the top 10 countries receiving Venezuelan migrants, based on data from GeoPolaris.

Inside Venezuela, the headcount’s sitting at roughly 29.9 million. Factor in those 8 million plus abroad, and you’re looking at about 22 percent of all Venezuelans not at home!

A lot landed in close-by nations or ones with solid job scenes. Here’s the rundown:

Zoom out globally, and Venezuela’s in the mix with places where big chunks of the population head out. Guyana has the highest rate at 36%, followed by Bosnia and Herzegovina at 34%, Albania at 31%, Syria at approximately 30%, and Jamaica at 29%. This situation frequently stems from financial difficulties or disputes, reminiscent of the issues in Venezuela.

Germany experienced significant labor migration during the post-World War II period, known as the “Wirtschaftswunder” or economic miracle. Many guest workers, primarily from Turkey, were invited to fill labor shortages. Some of them and their families have since become long-term residents.

Moreover, Germany has been a destination for refugees and asylum seekers from conflict zones and other troubled regions. The country has accepted a substantial number of refugees, particularly during the European migrant crisis that began in 2015. This has led to an increase in the number of asylum seekers and refugees in Germany.

In 2020, the Federal Statistical Office of Germany (Statistisches Bundesamt) reported that there were approximately 10.9 million foreign residents living in Germany. This figure includes both individuals with foreign citizenship and individuals with German citizenship who were born abroad.

According to the Federal Statistical Office of Germany in 2022, the most people without German citizenship were Turkish (1.5 million), followed by Polish (0.87 million), Syria (0.70 million), Italy (0.64 million), and Romania citizens (0.62 million). It is estimated 3 million people of Turkish heritage nowadays lives in Germany.

The maps below shows the nation of citizenship for the biggest group of newcomers by the German divisions.

Turks, Italians, Portuguese, Greeks (who are not the leading minority in any division) and others immigrated in large amounts to West Germany as guest workers to provide an additional workforce to the then-thriving economy. Turks make up by far the biggest group with over 1.5 million existing in Germany.

In the east, the number of immigrants is generally lower, in many rural eastern regions, the percentage is under 2%, or even under 1%.

The region with the largest immigrant citizens is Offenbach am Main at 28.6 percent, whereas Nordvorpommern has the lowest number at just 0.6 percent.

California for other states from 2005 through 2015, while 1.7 million
people at that income level moved in from other states – for a net loss
of 800,000. During the same period, the state experienced a net gain of

$100,000 for a family of three.
