India receives the most UK worker visas in 2022.
Based on data from the British government, 39% of these visas were given to people from India for the fiscal year that ends in September 2022.
The commission further revealed that there were 127,731 grants for student visas given to Indian nationals as primary applicants in the year ending September 2022, an increase of 93,470 (273%) over the previous year (34,261).
ANI reported that Alex Ellis, the British High Commissioner in India, stated that they were on track to resume processing visa applications from India to the UK within the allotted 15 days in October.
The most recent UK immigration statistics, released on August 25, state that approximately 118,000 Indian students were granted a student visa in the fiscal year ending in June 2022. This represents an increase of more than 89% over the previous year.
ANI says that 28% of visitor visas were given to Indians, which shows that the United Kingdom is still a popular place for Indians to visit.
India is now the country to which the UK gives more sponsored study visas than China.
More than 258,000 Indians received visit visas in the fiscal year ending June 2022, a 630% increase over the previous year (when travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic were still in place).
Also, 148% more UK work visas were given to Indians in the fiscal year that ended in June 2022 than the year before. This was true for both skilled and seasonal workers.
India still gives out 46% of all skilled UK worker visas in the world. This means that most of these visas are still gotten from India.
Aside from India, the top countries requesting “worker” visas were the Philippines, Nigeria, and the United States. The post-pandemic recovery, which has taken hold in the majority of the world’s major economies, is thought to be the cause of the significant increase in demand for “worker” visas from the United Kingdom.
Indians were among the top three nationalities from which “skilled worker” visas were issued by the UK. The other two countries that received such visas were South Africa and the United States. Americans received 6% of the “Skilled Worker” visas, while South Africans received 4% and Indians received 33%.
