Is this a 10-year ban from a UK application?

Is this a 10-year ban from a UK application? - Millennium bridge over rippling river

My friend just received his refusal letter, and he was so distraught to learn that he had been given a 10-year ban on the grounds that he had used deception, because he forgot to mention in this application that his visa was revoked a year ago when his circumstances changed.

Upon reading his letter, and referring to other letters in this group, I am thinking he didn't get a 10-year ban yet, but he will be once he applies and gives false information.

Can you please enlighten me if he does have a 10-year ban now, or is it just a "warning" on future applications should he fail to declare information?

Best Answer

The quoted text does not say anything about being banned for entry, only that for up to 10 years it is highly unlikely a new application will be honoured unless the reasons for the refused earlier application no longer apply.

So no, it's no 10 year ban, just a 10 year period during which the refused application will be kept in your records and place you under extreme and extended scrutiny when applying again.

In effect it's probably going to lead to 10 years of refused visa, and possibly to that 10 years being extended further by each future refusal.
