Answered by Minister for Social Justice
The latest published data, updated on 28th July by the Home Office show that as of 26 July 2022:
• 4,422 visas have been issued where the Welsh Government is a super sponsor.
• 2,079 people have arrived in the UK, where the Welsh Government is a super sponsor.
The UK Government does not tell us where the visa applicants are at any given point before they arrive in the UK.
