The negative performance in the monthly comparison was observed in two modalities: Residence and Prior Residence (Graph 2).
Among skilled immigrant workers, the drop in numbers compared to August was even more significant, with a decrease of 35.4%. The decline was slightly smaller in the year-on-year comparison, at 7.7%. These volumes are represented in Graph 3.

In the month of August, the downward trend in job creation for immigrants continued, with 2,915 fewer jobs being lost (Graph 4).
On the other hand, the numbers of hirings and layoffs in September were higher compared to both August of this year and September of the previous year (Graph 5).
The main Brazilian states with immigrant labor force experienced a reduction in the number of jobs in July. However, Roraima stood out with the creation of 55 new jobs (Map 1).

SISMIGRA
SisMigra (National Migration Registry System)
The growth trend in the volume of residence registrations continued in September, with a slight stability of 0.4% compared to August. The registrations remained at pre-pandemic levels and showed a significant increase of 136.0% in the annual comparison (Graph 6).
The opening of land borders in the North of the country continued to play a crucial role in the outcome, with the municipalities of Boa Vista/RR, Manaus/AM, Pacaraima/RR, and São Gabriel da Cachoeira/AM (Graph 7) standing out.
In terms of geographical distribution of registrations, Venezuelans constituted the predominant nationality, accounting for 67.8% of the total residence registrations, which is 13.2 times higher than the number of regularizations by Haitians, who held the second position (Map 2).

STI (International Traffic System)
The cross-border movement remained stable, with a slight inclination towards an increase. However, it remains significantly below the levels observed before the COVID-19 pandemic, indicating that the effects of the crisis continue to impact the international mobility of people (Graph 8).
The negative balance of movements was primarily driven by the volume of Brazilians exiting the country, as other classifications experienced positive balances. These exits are likely associated with tourism, as some countries have started to relax entry restrictions. However, it is essential to closely monitor this behavior to determine if they indicate emigration movements. (Graph 9).

The volume of requests for recognition of refugee status in September exhibited a significant increase compared to the same month in the previous year, with a growth rate of 134.8%. Additionally, there was a 19.4% increase in comparison to the preceding month, sustaining the upward trend that commenced in July (Graph 10).
Pacaraima/RR and Guarulhos emerged as the primary entry channels for asylum seekers, with the cities of Assis Brasil/AC and Bonfim/RR warranting special mention (Graph 11).
In Map 3, Venezuelans remain the main nationality of the applicants for refugee status, and are followed at a very distant distance by Angolans, who have taken over the second position from Haitians.
