Any future UK visa applications you make will be considered on their individual merits, however you

The reasons for this decision are set out on the next page.
Yours sincerely,
GD
ISTANBUL

2. UNCLASSIFIED
REASONS FOR REFUSAL NRA v 1.0
You have applied for a visa to visit the UK.
In deciding whether you meet the requirements of Appendix V: of the Immigration Rules for visitors
(https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-v-visitor-rules), I have
considered:
• your application and any additional relevant information you have provided with it
• your immigration history
The decision
I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the
requirements of paragraph(s) 4 of Appendix V because:
You are seeking entry to the UK for 4 days tourism.
You state you are self-employed and I note the documents submitted in this regard. However, said
supporting documents do not demonstrate that your business is currently generating revenue that
supports your stated income. The documents you have submitted do not demonstrate that you are
earning the level of income you state from your self-employment.
As evidence of your financial circumstances and of the funds you have available to you, you have
provided bank statements in your name. I note the balance of your account benefited from a
significant uplift in funds on the last day of the statement, tripling the account balance. From the
evidence submitted, I am not able to establish the origin of these funds. Therefore, I am not
satisfied that these funds are an accurate reflection of your current financial circumstances. I am not
satisfied that said funds are genuinely available for your exclusive use.
The documents you have submitted do not demonstrate that your personal circumstances are as
stated. I am not satisfied that you have given an accurate reflection of your personal and financial
circumstances. This undermines the credibility of your application to the extent that I am not
satisfied with your intentions in seeking entry to the UK.
You state you resident in Georgia. You state Russians can stay in Georgia for one year, visa free.
You state you have left Georgia recently and returned a few days later to restart the 12-month
period. Furthermore, you have declared that you are single with no dependants. The submitted
documents do not demonstrate that you have any assets in your name.
Given the above, I am not satisfied that your circumstances are such that they would give you the
intention to leave the UK at the end of the limited period stated by you.
I am therefore not satisfied that you will have sufficient funds to cover all reasonable personal costs
yourself without working or accessing public funds. I therefore refuse your application under
paragraph 4.2 (e) of Appendix V of the United Kingdom Immigration Rules.
I am not satisfied as to your intentions for visiting the UK, that you are a genuine visitor or that you
will leave at the end of the period specified by you. I therefore refuse your application under
paragraphs V4.2 (a) and (c) of the United Kingdom Immigration Rules.
NEXT STEPS NRA v 1.0
In relation to this decision, there is no right of appeal or right to administrative review.
