• Deadline: Appeals must be submitted within eight weeks from the date of the refusal notification.
• Cost: There is no additional fee for submitting an appeal.
• Content: The appeal should focus on the exact reasons for refusal, providing relevant evidence or clarifications.
• Finality: Once the appeal has been reviewed and a decision is made, no further correspondence will be entertained.

Appeal Review Process

An appeals officer will conduct a detailed review, which may include:

• Further enquiries into any aspect of the original application.
• Consideration of both the initial grounds for refusal and any new grounds deemed relevant.

If the appeal is refused on new grounds, the applicant will be given an opportunity to respond in writing before a final decision is issued.
