Visas have been issued to local authorities based on the postcode of the sponsor's address, or of the accommodation address if the applicant is not staying with the sponsor.

Hide AdNot all records of visas have a postcode that has been mapped to a local authority area, but the number of records excluded is less than 1%.
The data is provisional and is likely to include some duplicate records, so may not be an exact record of the number of individuals who have been issued visas.


The data does not contain the number of visas issued through the Ukraine Family Scheme, which allows applicants to join family members or extend their stay in the UK.
