You asked
Could you provide me with the number of international students who have transferred from a student visa to another visa per year, for the past 10 years?
Can you provide information showing how many visas have been transferred per year and specifically show which visa the Tier 4 was transferred to?
We said
Thank you for your enquiry about visa statistics.
Unfortunately, we do not hold the data you have requested.
We do present some Home Office visa statistics in our Migration Statistics Quarterly Bulletin (MSQR). The latest release was on 24 August 2017.
We also included some information on the number of people on student visas who extended their leave to remain in the UK in our International student migration research update in August. This included all student visa extensions and is not broken down by type of visa.
For more details on extensions of stay, please see the Home Office’s visa statistics which were also released on 24 August 2017. For more information on these data, we recommend contacting the migration statistics team at MigrationStatsEnquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk.
When accessing any of our files please read the 'notes, terms and conditions' contained within them.
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us on pop.info@ons.gov.uk.
