Statistics released by the British Home Office on Thursday show that Indians are also the nationalities with the most high-value work visas, accounting for about one-sixth or 17% of the total.

British High Commissioner Alex Ellis said on Twitter on Friday that the number of student and skilled worker visas issued to Indians has increased, and said that “the huge demand is that visa turnaround time is longer than usual. The longer reason”.

Indian and Chinese nationals together account for more than half (53%) of all sponsored study visas.

In terms of work visas, Indians are the highest nationality for obtaining high-value work visas, accounting for about one-sixth or 17% of the total. It is followed by US and Chinese citizens, accounting for 11% and 10% respectively. High-value work visas include visas granted to outstanding talent pathways, investors and entrepreneurs.

Before the Covid-19 pandemic, China, India, and Pakistan were the top three countries in this category in the year ending September 2019.

Indian nationals also account for more than two-fifths or 42% of all skilled work visas granted by the United Kingdom.

In terms of visit visas, the UK issued 260,275 such visas in the year ending September 2021, a decrease of 72% from the previous year. Among them, the Chinese (decreased by 145,472 visas or 93%) and India (decreased by 120,408 or 70%) national.

Nationals of China (4%) and India (20%) together account for almost a quarter of the total number of visitor visas granted.
