Indian Nationals Lead UK Visa Extensions in Study, Skilled Worker, and Healthcare Categories

UK Home Office data for the year ending December 2025 shows Indian nationals leading visa extensions across multiple categories, including sponsored study, skilled worker, healthcare, and graduate routes. Indians received 95,231 sponsored study visa extensions and topped skilled worker extensions with 90,031 grants. While graduate route extensions decreased by 6%, Indians remained the largest group. The data reflects post-Brexit immigration policy impacts and highlights concerns from charities about declining migrant care workers.
