Visa and immigration problems

If I am refused, can I appeal against the decision?

Certain categories of visa application, including family visits and settlement, attract full rights of appeal if refused.  If you have full rights of appeal this will be stated on your written notice of refusal.  Applications for visas to enter the UK in other categories attract limited rights of appeal if refused.  If you have limited rights of appeal this will be clearly stated on your written notice of refusal.

For more detailed information read our guidance on Appeals (INF 19).
