The Home Office publishes data on entry clearance visas and settlement in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release’.

Data on the number of applications from Investor visas (previously Tier 1) to Russian nationals, and the decisions on such applications are published in tables ‘Vis_D01’ and ‘Vis_D02’ of the entry clearance detailed datasets. Data relating to Grants of Settlement by nationality and visa type are published in table Se_D01 of the settlement detailed datasets.

These data do not say how many years a person has been resident before being granted settlement. Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook.

The latest data includes up to the end of 2021.

Please note the published data relate to Russian nationals, regardless of their residency.

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