Dear ###

We write further to your request, received 11 July 2025, which states:

"Please could you provide a summary of applications received by immigration route for the period from 1 April 2025 to 30 June 2025 in the same format as Table 15 of the Isle of `Man in Numbers 2024.

Please could you also provide a summary of visas issued for the same period in the same format."

Our response to your request is as follows:

Please find attached Appendix 1 which details a summary of the applications received and the visas issued for the period from 1 April 2025 to 30 June 2025.
The information to which the exemption has been applied includes information which if disclosed poses the likely risk of identification of these individuals, who can be indirectly identified from the information in combination with other information from other available sources.
The reasons why that exemption applies are that: • The Treasury is satisfied that the information amounts to personal data of which you are not the data subject; and

• The Treasury is satisfied that disclosure of the information would contravene one of the data protection principles as set out at Article 5 of the General Data Protection Regulation as it applies in the Isle of Man pursuant to the Data Protection (Application of GDPR) Order 2018, namely that the Treasury can only disclose the information where it would be fair, lawful and meet one of the conditions for lawful processing in Article 6 and in this case, none of those conditions have been met.

Please quote the reference number 4792035 in any future communications.
