In an FOI response, the ICO did reveal that they'd received 851 complaints about the UK Home Office as a whole between 2023 and 2025.
The volume of complaints was so significant, the ICO was unable to identify how many were about the eVisa scheme specifically.
The Select Committee must investigate.
