How to get a UK visa refund - Brown Dragon Statue in White Background

I applied online for a visa application to the UK. I'm from Sri Lanka. Yesterday I cancelled the appointment, I changed my mind. I will not go to the visa appointment. Now my question is how I get my refund?



Best Answer

The gov.uk site has a whole page about this, the summary at the top states:

If you applied outside the UK contact UKIV to find out how to cancel your application

You can only get your fee refunded if your application hasn’t been processed yet.

If you applied within the UK You can cancel via an online form, but you will not be refunded.

You won’t get your fee refunded if you cancel an application that you made in the UK.
