The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many work visas have been issued in each of the last ten years, broken down by country.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

The Home Office publishes data on entry clearance visas in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on visas granted, by year, visa route, and nationality are published in table Vis_D02 of the Entry clearance visas detailed dataset. Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. The latest data cover the period up to the end of September 2024.
