Visas: Charities

Asked by Chris KaneLabourHome OfficeTabled Answered 21 January 2026UIN 105531

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Charity Worker Visa applications have been granted in each year of the operation of that visa route.

Answered by Mike Tapp

The Home Office publishes data on entry clearance visas by visa route, including Charity Worker visas, 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 visas dataset.

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

Information on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the ‘Research and statistics calendar’.
