According to Home Office figures , for the year ending March 2024, a total of over 2.5 million UK Visitor Visa Applications were submitted. The rate of successful applications was 71% (just over 2 million from the total submitted). This still leaves a significant total of over half a million refusals (21% of all applications the Home Office received for the same year). While there are several factors the Home Office will consider when assessing any visa application, the most common reason for refusals, is the lack of sufficient evidence that applicants submit to support their case. This is particularly prevalent when it comes Visitor visas where there is no fixed set of supporting documents that will be applicable for every individual's case i.e. their specific reason(s) for visiting and their personal circumstances, What are the general Requirements for a Visitor Visa?
