If my UK visa is refused, can I get a refund?
Refunds for visa application and health surcharge fees depend on the stage of your application. Here’s a breakdown:
- Stage 1: Visa form completed, but no evidence uploaded or appointment booked. Refundable: Visa fee and IHS.
- Stage 2: Evidence uploaded or appointment attended (no decision yet). Refundable: IHS fee, not the visa fee.
- Stage 3: Visa rejected. Refundable: IHS fee, not the visa fee.
- Stage 4: Visa approved, staying the full length of the visa. Non-refundable: Visa fee and IHS fee.
- Stage 5: Visa approved, but leaving before it expires. Non-refundable: Visa fee and IHS fee.
- Stage 6: Visa approved, switching to another visa. Refundable: Unused IHS for the previous visa, but you must pay full IHS for the new visa.
You can request a refund if you cancel before a decision is made. If you cancel, IHS is refundable, but visa fees depend on your application status.
To cancel and request a refund, follow these steps:
Way 1: If asked to attend an appointment, fill out the online form and withdraw your application. Way 2: If you applied via a smartphone app, cancel through your account.
