Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many applications for visitor visas have been received by her Department in each of the last 12 months.

The Home Office publishes data on entry clearance visas in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on visitor visa applications are published in table Vis_D01 of the entry clearance visa detailed datasets. Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. The latest data relates to the year ending March 2020.

Additionally, the Home Office publishes a high-level overview of the data in the summary tables. The ‘contents’ sheet contains an overview of all available data on visas.

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