The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Frontier Worker Permits were (a) issued and (b) valid in 2024-25.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

The Home Office publishes data on entry clearance visas by visa type, including Frontier Worker Permits, in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on the outcomes of visa applications are published in table ‘Vis_D02’ of the ‘detailed entry clearance dataset’.

Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. Data is from January 2005 up to the end of March 2025.

Information on how many visas were valid in a given period is not currently available from published statistics.
