The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many skilled worker visas have been issued for marine and waterways transport operatives under the points based system.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

The Home Office publishes data on sponsored work visas by visa type and occupation in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on grants of visas are published in table ‘Occ_D02’ of the sponsored work visas by occupation and industry dataset. Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. Data is from January 2021 up to the end of December 2024.
