The Home Office publishes data on entry clearance visas by year and visa type in the 'Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release'. Data on visa applications are published in 'Vis_D01' whilst data on the outcomes of visas 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.
