The visit visa for the United Kingdom is one of the most strict visa processes. It goes through tons of rigorous processes and scrutiny in order to be approved. Tens of thousands of applications for the visit visa are received by the UK Visas and Immigration, a lot of which are refused because they are not according to the terms and conditions of the visa.
In this article, we’ll be looking at some of the reasons your UK Visit Visa may be rejected. The most common reasons are mentioned below.
Ties To Home Country:
One of the first things that are assessed by the Home Office in order to accept or refuse a visa application is strong ties to the home country. The applicant must have compelling reasons that suggest that the applicant has strong ties to their home country. Factors such as having a job that you have had for years, operating or owning a business in the country, and owning assets in the home country are good signs that the applicant has strong ties to their home country.
In addition, you can obtain the FRC certificate and the Family Registration Certificate from NADRA to include in the application. Including CNIC copies, passport copies, and other national documents rarely have an influence on the acceptance and mostly do not help in any way. Showing proof of job, property, business, and FRC can be beneficial.
Moreover, social ties such as membership in a regulated professional body in your home country can also be shown. When an applicant has a strong travel history, it also indicates that he has strong ties to his home country. Because the applicant visited the countries and came back to their home country, it makes their case stronger by indicating that they are not a potential illegal immigrant.
Source of Funds Is Not Clear:
It is important that you mention the source of funds for your visit to the UK. Documentary evidence is required in order to approve that the funds present in the bank account belong to the applicant and are theirs to use. Some documents that can be shown as proof are salary slips, tax returns, gift deeds, and business-related documents that show that you have relevant funds. When the source of funds in your bank account is not clear, your visa application is most likely to be rejected.
Insufficient Funds:
Another one of the most common reasons for rejection of a UK visit visa is insufficient funds for a visit. You should always mention an appropriate itinerary. You should keep in mind your salary and the amount you mention that you will be spending in the UK. If the latter is much more than your salary, your application will be rejected on the grounds of not having enough funds.
Purpose of Visit Is Not Clear:
You should keep in mind to clearly state the purpose of your visit to the UK. The Home Office prefers a solid reason that includes the places you will be visiting and how much time you will be there. For example, if you mention that you will visit a relative of yours, it would be better than writing that you will be staying in London and might go to other cities if you want. The purpose of your visit should be crystal clear, such as visiting tourist places.
Purpose of Visit Is Beyond Visit Visa:
Several categories in the visit visa are intended for different purposes. Many applicants make the mistake of selecting the wrong category and stating the true purpose of their visit. The purpose of their visit may not be included in the category they chose; hence their visit visa application is refused. It is important to read the specifications of the categories in order to choose the one most suitable for you.
Circumstances are different for every visit visa application. Hence, it is important that you do not follow a pattern or the documentation of another person’s visit visa application. The circumstances are always changing, so you should keep in mind to consult the expert immigration lawyers at M.I.S Legal before you apply.
