It is interesting to mention that it may seem so simple when your visa application is granted especially if you had consulted some Immigration Advisory Service. But the entire process through to your visa approval by the Home Office is not really a walkover. A lot of work was put in just so you could smile to the UK.
For instance, each application is being scrutinized thoroughly before approval or rejection. Each year thousands of applications are rejected. At times applicants worry about what possibly could have been wrong with their application. Funnily, they wonder if the Home Office knew them by face so didn’t just like their face or something.

Bangladesh, Ghana and Algeria were amongst the countries that faced visa rejections up to 40%.
To go straight to the point, here is the list of common visa rejection reasons that you can avoid while applying for a visa. You need to know them effortlessly to be alert next time, you apply.
- Incomplete form: One of the prime reasons for rejection is an incomplete application form. You can imagine already. The Home Office deals with innumerable forms each day, and the visa seeker must correctly fill out every information asked.
- Mistakes and illegible form: Any casual approach towards your visa application form could lead you to wait for another 6 months to re-apply. To help you with this, you can always take help from us at akias.uk.com to avoid any such mistake in the form.
- Irregular fund transfer: Showing enough funds in your bank account is mandatory to meet requirements of moving to the UK. However, many applicants show irregular fund transfers or bulk transfers in their bank accounts, leading to visa rejection.
- Unclear visa category: Whether you are going as a student, spouse, or business partner, the visa category must not be overlooked as it reveals the most critical part of your visa application. If you don’t state the correct visa category, it could lead you to trouble and eventually visa rejection.
- Criminal record found against the visa seeker: Home Office is strict in documents’ scrutiny. At times visa applicants do not disclose any history of the criminal records or are not aware of it. Any discrepancy, intentional or unintentional, could lead to your visa rejection. It is your responsibility to evidence any history you may have to get your visa approved.
Honestly, the UK has a high standard of living and your visa won’t get approved if you don’t take care of certain sensitive bits.
But now you know some of the likely reasons, you were refused visa. Try to take care of them before your next application.
Good luck next time.
