The plunge? Mostly due to fewer family reunifications, down from 300 per week to just over 100. While Syria’s crisis once drove record numbers — including 16,500 family arrivals in 2025 — new EU rules on family reunification this June likely played a major role. And it’s not just the Netherlands: Europe-wide asylum applications are down 17% in the first half of the year, the lowest since 2021, with Syrians and Venezuelans leading the decline.
