The number of visa applications and decisions have fallen across all types of visa since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Immigration into the U.K. has fallen dramatically as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as governments across the world imposed lockdown restrictions and closed borders in a bid to prevent the spread of the virus.
The report states:"Since the U.K. lockdown was announced on 23 March 2020 , the majority of arrivals by air have been British nationals returning to the U.K. The remaining 42 percent will include foreign nationals who are U.K. residents returning to the U.K., dependants of U.K. residents, and other non-British nationals."
The report states:"The total number of visa applications began to fall in March 2020, with around 129,000 applications, less than half the number in March 2019 . In the four weeks prior to lockdown, there were around 2,500 applications, however in the first four weeks of lockdown there were less than 800, a fall of 69 percent.
