You asked

Please provide information relating to the following:

  • Total number of applications received for Investor Visas (Tier 1) by year or quarter; regardless of whether these applications were ultimately refused

  • Time frame: starting from 2008 until latest available data; whether the figures are shown yearly or quarterly does not matter

  • Only Main/Primary applicants (no dependents)

  • If possible, country of origin of these Investor Visa applicants

We said

Thank you for your request for information on Investor Visas.

Unfortunately, we are unable to help as we do not hold such information. Your request may be better placed with the Home Office as they are responsible for UK visas.
