The temporary pause is to ensure people who are arriving, and those already here in Wales, continue to receive an excellent level of care and support.

  • 5,668 confirmed applications have been submitted with a sponsor in Wales, of which 2,866 have Welsh Government as a super sponsor.
  • 4,909 visas have been issued to those with a sponsor in Wales, of which 2,453 have Welsh Government as a super sponsor.
  • 1,961 people with sponsors in Wales have arrived in the UK, of which 480 have Welsh Government as a super sponsor.
