The Home Office has listed ‘Immigration system statistics, year ending June 2026’ for publication at 09:30 BST on 23 July. These accredited official statistics will provide the first full-year picture since the government introduced higher salary thresholds, curtailed care-worker visas and rolled out eVisas. Corporate mobility managers use the quarterly release to benchmark visa lead-times, refusal rates and nationality trends. Analysts expect the dataset to show a sharp fall in international student dependants, modest growth in Skilled Worker approvals in priority sectors, and early evidence of the Temporary Shortage List coming into force. Because the release lands during the summer holiday exodus, employers sponsoring August starters may want to snapshot historical data before the website refreshes; past files are often archived into secondary folders, complicating audit trails. A press conference is not scheduled, but ministers typically issue a written statement within hours of publication, framing the numbers in terms of net-migration targets.
