UK visa blank refusal letter without reason for refusal

UK visa blank refusal letter without reason for refusal - Spiral notebook with message on white paper sheet

I received my refusal letter today for my standard visitor visa application for the UK. However, the reason for refusal is not mentioned anywhere on the letter and it appears more of an unfilled template. How may I proceed after this? Do I contact them and how do I do that? or should I just reapply? I am currently living in Egypt.

Please check the attached letter.

I would try to get in touch with the consulate to explain that the refusal notice

  • does not in fact give the reason for the refusal,
  • does not identify the entry clearance officer, and
  • appears to be an "unfilled template," as you note.

Presumably, after you explain this, they will make arrangements to give you a proper refusal notice.

The British embassy in Cairo has a consular section, and there is a consulate general in Alexandria. Contact information for both may be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/world/egypt.

To elaborate on the insufficiencies of your refusal notice, you can refer to the Immigration (Notices) Regulation 2003. This has been amended a few times, but I did not find a consolidated version. In particular, the notice fails to meet these requirements, at least:

  • 5(1)(a) [A notice given under regulation 4(1) is to include or be accompanied by a statement of the reasons for the decision to which it relates.]

  • 5(3) [the notice ... shall also include, or be accompanied by, a statement which advises the person of (a) his right of appeal and the statutory provision on which his right of appeal is based; (b) whether or not such an appeal may be brought while in the United Kingdom; (c) the grounds on which such an appeal may be brought; and (d) the facilities available for advice and assistance in connection with such an appeal.]
