The Home Office publishes data on ECAA Business Persons in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release’.
Data on applications for ECAA Business Persons are published in table Vis_D01 of the entry clearance visas applications and outcomes dataset. Data on the number of ECAA Business Persons issued and refused are included in table Vis_D02. These data may be selected using the ‘ECAA Business person’ visa type subgroup.
Information on how to use the entry clearance visas applications and outcomes dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. The latest data relates to year ending March 2021.
Home Office Migration Statistics do not capture the number of Turkish Businessperson visa applications which are still to be processed.
