I request

-from: INZ group
-periodicity: monthly aggregated
-period(d/m/y) : 01.01.2015 to 16.12.2020
-subject: granted onshore work, resident, tourist visa applications by country of origin
-aggregation: sum of distinct count by month
-type of visa: work, resident and tourist. Please give them a high level label even if there are many more types of visas underneath. Regardless if it is from partnership or family.
