What happens if my visa is refused?

Refusals are the embassy's decision — here is where that leaves you.

Last reviewed 15 Aug 2026

A refusal is a decision of the destination's immigration authority. Neither we nor any agent can appeal it on your behalf as a matter of course, though some destinations offer a formal appeal or administrative review route.

Government fees are not refunded on refusal. Our service fee covers the work done on the application and is likewise not refunded once lodged.

If you hold a flight booking that depended on the visa, tell us. Whether the fare can be refunded or changed depends on its rules, and we will tell you plainly what is possible.
