Refused — what can I do now?
A visitor refusal is final in a way a student refusal is not: no appeal, no administrative review. What remains is a fresh application that answers the reasons — done properly, not just done again.
Can I appeal the refusal?
No — Parliament removed the right of appeal against visit visa refusals in 2013. Your refusal notice states the position. Read the refusal guide
Can I ask for an administrative review?
No — that mechanism belongs to routes like Student. Visit refusals do not carry it, whatever an adviser may offer to sell you. Read the refusal guide
So what can I actually do?
Make a new application that addresses the reasons given in the refusal and provides any new evidence — the route the Home Office itself identifies. Read the refusal guide
How soon can I reapply?
There is no waiting period — the real question is what has changed or what can now be evidenced against the cited paragraphs. Read the refusal guide
The refusal cited my funds. What was being tested?
Sufficient funds for your trip's reasonable costs, in a permitted institution — there is no fixed amount to "top up" to. Read the financial requirement guide
Do I get my fee back?
No — the application fee is not refunded on a refusal. Read the refusal guide
