While many of you may be wondering why your application to enter the United Kingdom (UK) was denied once or several times, the British authorities are urging you to pay close attention to the various rules and regulations in the visa application process.
The British High Commissioner to Ghana, Harriet Thompson, stated that many visa applications were denied because applicants failed to adhere to the rules when applying for their visas.
She explained: "Things tend to go wrong when people don’t follow the instructions on the website. For example, the money is meant to be in your bank account 28 days before your application, but if it's only in there 10 days before, just follow the process properly."
H.E. Thompson further advised: "You know what the rules are that apply to your visa, so make sure you stick to those rules."
She was speaking on Joy News Special AM Show with Benjamin Akakpo on Thursday, 7th November 2024.
Regarding scholarship students who may not meet certain requirements due to delays by their benefactors, H.E. Thompson said there is no room for sympathy, only adherence to immigration rules.
"In situations like that, it’s not the student’s fault, but the immigration rules still apply, and the students need to follow them," she emphasised.
