Germany registered two million migrants in 2015 and 860,000 of them have since moved on to other countries, the Statistics Office says.
As a result the migrant influx stood at 1.14 million in 2015, which Destatis says is the highest annual number of migrants to arrive in Germany in the country's history.
In 2014, the number of registrations stood at 1.34 million. About 766,000 moved on, resulting in an influx of 577,000 for the year.
The Statistics Office said this marks a 49 per cent year-on-year increase of new arrivals, while the number of people who moved on to other countries only increased by 12 per cent year on year.
It previously stated that 1.1 million migrants had arrived in Germany in 2015.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has resisted unilateral measures to control migration such as tighter border controls and a cap on the number of new arrivals and is pushing instead for a widely-criticised pact to send thousands of asylum seekers back to Turkey.
