Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Tier 1 (Investor) visa applicants in the last three years have been refused or curtailed under the general grounds of refusal due to concerns about the applicant or third party from whom the funds came being involved, complicit or otherwise engaged in corruption or illicit finance.

The Home Office does not collate nor publish figures on the number of Tier 1 Investor applications refused in relation to concerns about the applicant or third party from whom the funds came from being involved, complicit or otherwise engaged in corruption or illicit finance specifically.

The most recent published data on Tier 1 (Investor) visas may be found at the following link:
