Methodological caveats

Despite the title, this does NOT cross-tabulate citizenship, country of birth and country of previous residence — CYSTAT publishes ONE dimension of 9 categories stacking three ALTERNATIVE partitions that each sum independently to the annual total (citizenship 2,334+7,925+30,212; birth 2,758+7,406+30,307; previous residence 9,049+31,422; all equal 40,471 for 2024). Reading the axis as one cross-tab would triple-count: adding up the table's three views would publish three times the real figure. Covers 2018-2024 only, not the full migration series. Previous residence has no domestic ("from Cyprus") category — arriving from Cyprus is definitionally impossible for an immigrant, not missing data. The 2024 total matches 1840010E's immigration figure exactly.
