The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many individuals have been granted indefinite leave to remain in each of the last five years, broken down by (a) visa category and (b) country of origin.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

The Home Office publishes data on Settlement by country of nationality and by visa category in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. Visa Category relates to type of leave held immediately prior to being granted settlement.

The published statistics can be found in the Settlement data tables. Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. The latest data relate to 2024 Q2.
