Know your visitor visa refusal risk before you apply — and what to do about it.

Overview

About this service

If your circumstances are not straightforward — limited funds, self-employment, a previous refusal, past overstays, long previous stays or weak employment ties — a visitor visa application carries real risk. A refusal stays on your record and affects future applications. We assess your profile against the subclass 600 criteria, give a written risk rating with the specific factors driving it, and recommend how to reduce the risk or whether to wait.
