Migrant Workers

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many foreign nationals from (a) inside and (b) outside the EU were relocated for work purposes into the UK in 2019 by each of the visa categories prescribed by the Government; and if she will make a statement.

Answer

The available published data shows the numbers of visas granted in each work route but does not provide any information on where the applicant resided (inside / outside the EU) or if the individual was ârelocatingâ. There is also no guarantee these visas are used once issued.

Data on visas granted by category can be found in Vis_D02 at:
