Figure prompts queries in the House of Keys
Almost 800 people have had their visa curtailed on the Isle of Man in the past three years.
That's when someone's visa is cut short meaning the reason for granting it in the first place no longer exists or the holder has breached the conditions of their stay.
The figure - totalling 786 - was given by Treasury Minister Chris Thomas at this week's sitting of the House of Keys.
It raised the question of what happens when someone who came to the Island for a specific job finds themselves out of work and how that affects Manx workers looking for new roles:
Vote on Castle Rushen High School funding 'very unlikely' before election
Ramsey Commissioners to host public meeting about cottage hospital
DfE provided more than £250,000 to MT to assist with below ground fibre installations
Man given suspended sentence after importing 2kg of cannabis to Island
WCAS reuse garages to reopen on trial basis
