office: This was the most in a six-month period since 2014, according to the department's data, according to The Guardian. The increase came after the then Home Office minister Caroline Nokes suspended the controversial scheme in December 2018, saying we will not tolerate people who do not play by the rules and seek to abuse the system . The government later backtracked and kept the scheme in place, but introduced tougher rules from April to tackle organised crime and money laundering. The Home Office granted 255 people tier-1 investor visas in the first half of 2019, allowing them to live and work in the UK for five years. The Home Office granted 124 applications in the three months to the end of June. Home Office data shows that just four applicants had their visas denied. That was an increase from 91 people in the same period a year earlier under more relaxed rules.
