If my visa is denied, what should I do?

Should your visa be denied, you may appeal this directly with the High Commission, however UK Visas does not assist with the appeals process.

If my visa is denied, will I get a refund?

No, the fees paid to the High Commission and to UK Visas are for submitting and processing your visa application. The fees are not tied to the successful issuance of a visa. Should your visa be denied, no refund will be given.

Do I need a confirmed Air Ticket for my visa application?

NO, an air ticket is not a requirement for a visa application and should you choose to book your ticket prior to obtaining the visa, you do so at the risk that the visa might not be processed in time for your departure date. In such a case, you will have to move your ticket to a date after your visa has been approved. For the visa application, only a flight itinerary (or flight quote) is needed to indicate the dates on which you wish to travel to the UK.

Why do I need to submit bank statements?

The High Commission requires that you submit original bank statements. From your statement, they are able to determine whether you have obligations to return to your country of origin (Such as mortgage payments, vehicle finance down-payments, etc.) and can ascertain your risk of overstaying your visa, as well as whether you can afford to visit the UK.

Is it safe to upload my bank statements on your website?

Yes, we treat all applicant information as extremely confidential. Please see our Privacy Policy for more detail.

I work for myself, can I draw up my own employment letter?

Yes, however you need to include supporting documents to prove your business ownership, like business registration documents, tax documentation and a letter from your auditor.

What is the difference between a normal birth certificate and an unabridged birth certificate?

A normal birth certificate only includes the child’s details, whereas the unabridged birth certificate includes the full names and ID numbers of both the parents and the child. This serves as confirmation that a child is born to his/her parents.

Why do I need to submit an unabridged birth certificate?

An unabridged birth certificate allows the High Commission to ensure that visas are not issued to child trafficking syndicates, by confirming the identity and relationship of parents and minors.
