Visa Refusal & Appeal FAQs
Common questions after receiving a UK immigration or visa refusal.
What should I do if my UK visa application is refused?
Read the decision carefully and obtain advice about the reasons for refusal and the options available. The appropriate next step depends on the type of application, the decision and your individual circumstances.
Can every visa refusal be appealed?
No. A right of appeal is not available following every immigration refusal. Your decision should be reviewed to establish what rights or other options may be available in your case.
What is an administrative review?
Administrative review is a process available in certain immigration cases through which an eligible decision can be reviewed. Whether it is available depends on the decision you have received.
Can I make another application after a refusal?
In some circumstances, making a further application may be an option. However, the reasons for the previous refusal should be understood before deciding whether another application is appropriate.
How quickly should I get advice after a refusal?
It is sensible to obtain advice promptly. Immigration decisions can contain procedural requirements and time limits, so delaying may affect the options available to you.
