To apply for a <a href=\"https:\/\/ukvisa.info\/\">UK visa<\/a>, you must prepare many different documents and follow many strict steps. However, not all visa applications are accepted, many of them are refused. Let\u2019s take a look at the top 11 reasons for UK visa refusal. In this post we just mention UK visa with tourism purpose not the type of visas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/ukvisa.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Applying-for-a-UK-Visa.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-118\" width=\"529\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ukvisa.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Applying-for-a-UK-Visa.jpg 770w, https:\/\/ukvisa.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Applying-for-a-UK-Visa-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ukvisa.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Applying-for-a-UK-Visa-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Long itinerary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of officer : <em>You have stated that you wish to visit the UK for 1 month<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be realistic. The UK is small and you only need a few days\nto explore. A long itinerary looks suspicious. It looks as if you will be\nliving or working in the UK rather than site seeing. The UK is also expensive.\nYou must have enough funds to justify your itinerary. You should choose 7-10\ndays for itinerary for explore UK. If you are only visiting London, probably\nless than 7 days is better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Unclear itinerary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of officer : <em>You did not indicate what you intend to do or where you intend to stay.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should tell the detail itinerary in your cover letter.\nBe clearly, it should contain the dates, cities and your day-to-day activities\nin each city. If your itinerary is too long, attach an additional page to your\ncover letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Lack of leave approval letter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of officer : <em>It is unclear if your employer has agreed for you to be away from work for the period of this trip, and therefore that you will return to this employment following this trip<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your application should include a leave approval letter from\nyour employer. This single document can strength your case. It will prove that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You have strong ties with your country<\/li><li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You have the obligation to return back to your country after your UK trip<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This letter must be on the company letterhead with original HR or manager\u2019s signature. You must have your HR or manager write this letter specifically for your <a href=\"https:\/\/ukvisa.info\/19-best-place-in-the-united-kingdom-to-explore\/\">UK travel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you cannot obtain a leave approval letter, have your employer at least\nmention your leave details in the employment letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Personal Experience<\/strong><br> I had my employer include my leave approval details in the employment letter for my UK visa. I haven\u2019t seen a single <a href=\"https:\/\/ukvisa.info\/uk-tourist-visa\/\">UK visitor visa<\/a> refusal from those who submitted a leave\/vacation approval letter. In my opinion, it really is a strong document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Lack of salary deposits in your bank account<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of officer:<em> \u201cYour stated monthly\nincome is not reflected in the history of the account\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bank statement is not uncommon reason for visa\nrefusal. Apart from your employment documentation, you must be able to\nshow your monthly salary in your bank statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your\nemployer deposit your salary directly into your bank account. Your regular\nsalary deposits indicate two things \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You are genuinely employed and have a steady source of income<\/li><li>You have genuinely saved up to travel to the UK and not borrowing money from someone<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Have your employer\ndeposit your salary directly into your bank account. It\u2019s fine if you have to\nwithdraw cash for expenses, family, etc. But, it is important to have your\nsalary deposited directly into your bank account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you receive a\nphysical paycheck, deposit the check yourself in the bank regularly every\nmonth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Large undocumented deposits in your bank account<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of officer: <em>\u201cLarge credits have been\nmade which are in excess of your stated monthly income\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of officer: <em>\u201cI am not satisfied\nwith the origin of these funds or that they are genuinely available to you\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of officer: <em>\u201cThe sources of these\ndeposits are not demonstrated by the documents provided\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Large deposits in your bank account may indicate that you have borrowed\nmoney to inflate the numbers in your bank account. Visa officers will not be\nconvinced that you own that funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure there are no large deposits in your bank account. If you already\nhave large deposits in your account, you must be able to provide proof of\nsource of those deposits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>If you have received money from selling a property, attach the sales deed to the bank statement<\/li><li>If you have received money from rents, attach the rental agreements from your tenants<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Exhausting all your savings or spending several times your monthly\nincome<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of\nofficer:<em> \u201cI don\u2019t find it credible that you\nwould exhaust nearly all the funds available to you\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of\nofficer: <em>\u201cThis amount represents over half\nyour declared savings or over x months of your monthly expenditure\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the total expenditure of your UK trip is more than half\nof your savings or several times your monthly salary, your visa will be\nrefused. It\u2019s not realistic to exhaust all your savings on one trip to the UK.\nYou would need to preserve at least half of your savings for emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Lack of travel history<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of officer: <em>\u201cI am not satisfied that you are a\ngenuinely seeking entry as a visitor and that you intend to leave the UK at the\nend of your visit\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of officer: <em>\u201cI note that you have never traveled\nto the UK or anywhere else before\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travel history\nindicates that you do not have illegal immigration intent. If you were to stay\nillegally anywhere, you could have done it so already in any of those countries\nyou have been to so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do not have\ntravel history, build your travel history first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Lack of detailed cover letter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of officer: <em>\u201cI\nam not satisfied that you have sufficient ties and would, in fact, leave the UK\non completion of your proposed visit\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UK visa application forms may not ask all the details that\nyou want to convey. Therefore, a cover letter is a way for you to convey that\nadditional information and convince the visa officer that you just want to\nenter the UK as a visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write a detailed cover\nletter mentioning your proposed itinerary, your financial situation, your\ntravel history, your intention to return back, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your cover letter\nshould not exceed one page. Use bullets instead of paragraphs. The simpler,\ncleaner the better. Visa officers may have lots of work on their plates.\nSo, your cover letter should convey what you want to convey clearly and\nquickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Lack of proper documentation from your sponsor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of officer: <em>\u201cI\nam not satisfied that your sponsor will be able to provide maintenance and\naccommodation during your sponsor trip\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using a\nsponsor for your UK visa, you must have the following documentation from your\nsponsor. If you don\u2019t have all of this documentation from your sponsor, you\nwill be risking your visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just having an invitation letter is not enough. An <a href=\"https:\/\/ukvisa.info\/how-to-write-an-invitation-letter-for-uk-visa\/\">invitation letter for UK visa<\/a> is not legally enforceable and such letters will not help unless you provide additional documentation from your sponsor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Not disclosing any previous visa refusals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of officer:<br>\n<em>\u201cI am aware that you have been refused a US visa and you do not declare this\non your visa application form\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UK Home Office may have information sharing with other\ncountries. You must enter only true information and must disclose any previous\nvisa refusals from any country, not just the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. No change in circumstances since your previous visa refusal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of officer: <em>\u201cI\nnote that you were previously refused entry clearance\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reason of officer: <em>\u201cYou\nare likely to be refused unless the circumstances of your application change\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your circumstances haven\u2019t changed since your previous UK visa \nrefusal, your visa may be refused again. Multiple visa refusals can lead\n to blacklisting and permanent ban. It\u2019s wise to not apply at all than \ndealing with a visa refusal again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reapply for your UK visa only if there is a considerable change in your circumstances. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UK visa application is the most strict and highly scrutinized visa process.
