Introduction: What to do if UK Visit Visa is Refused?

When it comes to UK Visas and Immigration, a lot of variables are at play for every single visa application. Be sure to have a look at our guide on Visit Visas so that you are on the right track on your visit visa application. However, if you applied and the UK Visit Visa is Refused, the next thing you need to know is what will be your next steps in this case.

With visa refusals, there is no point re-applying unless you are able to change the part of your application (or its supporting documents) that got you refused in the first place, or else you will face the same result.

However, it is entirely possible that you can be successful when re-applying if you give the Immigration Officers what they want.

And therefore, precaution is better than cure.

UK Visit Visa is Refused? Follows these steps when you reapply

Be consistent in your purpose for the trip

You can’t say you wish to visit your son when you will only be spending a few hours with them. Whether or not he visits you later in India is completely irrelevant. If you are going to visit your son, make sure you are visiting him for a significant portion of your trip, otherwise do not mention it as your main reason.

I’ve done UKVI TB test and the validity it only till 23 June 2021 but my visa application is pending so should I again get it done
– Question asked in a forum
Yes, you should get your TB Test done again as you would need the valid TB Test certificate while submitting the documents.

Write and submit a travel itinerary

It does not have to be super specific, just what you plan to do each day.

Detailed financial sponsorship information

(If someone is sponsoring you) In addition to the bank statements, you could mention that you have been eager to visit the UK for quite some time, and that since your sponsor supports you financially and wants you to enjoy yourself, they will be providing you with X amount of money that they have been saving for a while for this purpose (perhaps have your sponsor mention that paying for your trip is their way of giving back to you for all the support you gave them in their lifetime).

Being refused a visa is frustrating and upsetting, but you must understand that there are clear and defined things you can change to improve your next application, which can be successful. While we have dealt with certain specifications of avoiding a UK Visit Visa Refusal in future, it’s important to know the appeal procedures an applicant has the right to follow should the application for any other kind of UK Visa be refused. Refer to The SmartMove2UK’s guidance on UK visa appeals.

Make the ‘Smart Move’ to avoid UK Visa Refusal Reasons

Keep in mind, the UK Visit Visa Refusal letter does say that any future applications you make will be considered on their individual merits, however based on our experience as immigration lawyers in the UK visas and immigration industry for more than a decade, we are fairly certain that there is a possibility that previous applications made will be looked at to see if the applicant is changing their application falsely simply to get a visa

Also remember, even if you change everything to what you believe is perfect, it is entirely possible that you will get refused again for different reasons entirely. It is completely up to you to decide whether it is worth the effort and money to make another application.
