"We've determined that you have" or "We've determined you have" - and why?

Question

Apologies if this is an existing question. I am not familiar with the terminology required to tag this appropriately or come up with keywords for the search. Something along the lines of accusative case or what have you.
Perhaps this is a simple case of style.
Take these two sentences;

We've determined that you have previously visited Elbonia.

and

We've determined you have previously visited Elbonia.

Which is the correct structure, and why?

You're right that this is more an issue of style than of grammar. Both your sentences are correct, with the first being more formal than the second.
Grammar-wise, the clause that you've previously visited Elbonia is a noun clause and it functions as the object of the transitive verb have determined.

"We've determined that you have" or "We've determined you have" - and why?
