ADS visitors
Refusals and appeals
This page explains what you can do if we refuse to allow you to enter the UK as a visitor under the UK/China Approved Destination Status (ADS) agreement.
We will make a decision by carefully checking your application, immigration history and supporting documents, to see whether you meet the Immigration Rules. If we cannot make an immediate decision, we may need to interview you.
If we refuse your application for a visa or to enter the UK, our immigration officer or entry clearance officer will send or give you a notice of refusal. This document will list the reasons for the refusal, and will tell you whether you have the right to appeal. The notice will also give you advice on where to send your appeal. You can find more detailed information on our Appeals page.
