You’ll be told in your application refusal letter if you can ask for the decision on your visa application to be reviewed. This is known as an ‘administrative review’.
You can only ask for an administrative review if all of the following apply:
• you’re outside the UK
• you applied outside the UK
• your application was refused on or after 6 April 2015
• you do not have a right of appeal against the refusal
• you did not make an application as a visitor or a short term student
You must apply for an administrative review within 28 days of getting the decision.
The decision will be checked for the errors you point out.
You’ll usually receive the result of the administrative review within 28 calendar days.
You cannot request a second review (unless the result of the first review found new reasons why you were refused).

Withdraw your request
Your request for an administrative review will be withdrawn (cancelled) if you make any other immigration or visa application.
Your request will be rejected if you ask for a review of a previous decision after submitting a new application.

You’ll be told in your application refusal letter if you can ask for the decision on your visa application to be reviewed.
You can ask for your application to be reviewed if one of the following apply:
• your application was refused
• your application was granted but you’re unhappy with the amount or conditions of your leave
You may be able to appeal if you’re not eligible for an administrative review.
There’s a different way to ask for an administrative review if you applied to the EU Settlement Scheme.
