Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of applications for an International Agreement visa (Temporary Work) were from nationals of (a) EU member states and (b) non-EU member states in (i) 2020, (ii) 2021 and (iii) 2022; and how many and what proportion of those applications were approved in each year.

The Home Office publishes data on visas in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on the number of entry clearance visa applications and outcomes of applications for ‘International Agreement (Temporary Worker)’ visas, by nationality, are published in tables Vis_D01 and Vis_D02, respectively, of the entry clearance visas applications and outcomes detailed dataset.

The latest data relates up to, and including, the third quarter (July to September) of 2022.

The Home Office does not routinely publish data on fees from International Agreement visa applications. It also does not publish immigration health surcharges broken down by visa routes.
