What the document holds

Entry clearance visa tables, year ending Dec 2018. vi_04 (annual grants by category, main applicants and dependants 2008-2018) was already in the data. Now added vi_04_q (quarterly grants 2008 Q3-2018 Q4, main and dependants) and vi_01_q (quarterly applications, resolved, granted, % granted, refused, % refused, withdrawn, lapsed for Tier 1 - Investors, main and dependants, 2008 Q2-2018 Q4; 2008 Q2 has applications only). Checks: quarterly grants add up to the annual vi_04 figures for every year; resolved = granted + refused + withdrawn + lapsed in every quarter; vi_01_q granted equals vi_04_q. vi_02_q, vi_03, vi_05 and vi_05_q are by nationality for all categories with no Investor split (out of scope).

About the document

What it covers Table vi_04: entry clearance visas granted by category and applicant type, calendar years 2005-2018 (Tier 1 - Investors main applicants and dependants from 2008). vi_01_q: applications and outcomes by quarter.

Notes Last calendar-year table in the old format that shows Tier 1 Investor separately. Later releases publish only quarter-by-nationality rows (Data_Vis_D02). Stored as .ods (the format the Home Office published). scripts/verify_quotes.py does not yet read .ods (needs an 'ods' branch using pandas+odfpy), so quotes from this file will show as not_found until then.
