The cost of getting it wrong

A refusal costs far more than the fee.

Around 1 in 3 UK visitor visa applications from Nigerian nationals are refused. Each one triggers the same cascade.

Home Office visa statistics · gov.uk · 2024 data

£135 application fee

Non-refundable. Gone the moment the file is opened, regardless of the reason.

Return flights already booked

Typically non-refundable fares. You lose them even if you cancel the moment you read the decision.

Hotel and accommodation deposits

Advance bookings often carry a cancellation penalty. Non-refundable rooms are a common casualty.

A refusal reason you can't appeal

Usually a single line: 'insufficient documentation.' No specifics. No guidance on what to fix.

6 to 12 months before reapplying

No mandatory waiting period. Reapplying too soon with the same gaps makes the next refusal more likely.

A refusal on your immigration record

Every future application (different visa, different country) asks about prior refusals. This one follows you.

The full cost again, second attempt

Fee, flights, deposits, preparation. Everything from the top. If the gaps are still there, so is the risk.

Government fee shown as checked on 8 July 2026. Confirm the current fee on the official government site before you apply.

Rekoja costs less than one application fee. It is the difference between that list and getting it right the first time.

Common questions

Is the free assessment really free?

Yes. You see your approval score, your routes, and the gaps before you pay anything. The assessment never costs money.

What if I have had a refusal before?

A previous refusal is a risk factor, not a bar. The risk scorer accounts for it and will tell you what the refusal means for your next application and what to address.

Does Rekoja guarantee approval?

Visa decisions belong to the relevant authority. Rekoja makes sure everything in your control is right: complete evidence, consistent documents, every gap flagged before you file.

Can I use Rekoja for any country?

Yes. The free assessment covers every country. For our verified corridors (UK, Canada, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, Ireland) we go deepest: human-verified rules, dated, the only tier we file on. For every other country, rules are fetched live from the official government source and shown with the date checked.

What is the difference between Prepare and Done-for-you?

Prepare is the self-serve toolkit: your risk score, tailored checklist, evidence guidance, and document upload. Done-for-you adds a named Rekoja caseworker who prepares the whole application for you, with a second reviewer signing off before you submit.

Who prepares the applications?

Rekoja UK Ltd is IAA-accredited and prepares, advises on, and files UK immigration cases directly. The Nigeria desk (Lagos) supports additional corridors.
