Dear Grace

Thank you for your inquiry. The Home Office regularly publishes
information on visas as part of the [1]Immigration Statistics quarterly
release. The most recent publication contains data up till December 31^st,
2020. As the following answers refer to our published statistics rather
than new information, this has been answered as a regular inquiry and not
as an FOI.

Figures for the grants of Tier 1 visas can be found in be found in table
Vis_D02 of the [2]entry clearance detailed dataset. Extensions of visas
can be found in table Exe_D01 of the [3]extensions detailed dataset. This
data can be broken down by nationality and quarter. The quarterly
breakdown relates to the calendar year, with March being under Q1 and
April under Q2.

I hope this has been helpful.

Best wishes

Anthony
