Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many nationals from EU countries and from non-EU countries were granted International Agreement Visas (Temporary Work), formerly known as Tier 5 Visas, to volunteer for charities in the UK as international volunteers in (a) 2020-2021, and (b) 2021-2022.

The Home Office publishes data on Entry clearance visas in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on the number of applications and grants for International Agreement visas (formerly Tier 5) are published in Vis_D01 and Vis_D02, respectively, of the Entry clearance visas applications and outcomes detailed dataset. Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook.

The latest data relates up to and including September 2022. Please note that the data cannot be disaggregated by employer or occupation.

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