Refused student visa

Hi gudeve...one of my friend applied a student visa to uk long time ago and has been refused way back 2007 i guessed...she's planning to apply a visit visa and she's asking me if it will be traced...she received a refusal notice with a refusal ref. Number...will it reflect on her plans of applying...coz on the app letter there is a question on 6.3 have you ever been refuse a visa to any country inc.uk? Thanks guys

My understanding is that previous applications dont count against you. What does not go down well is if you try to hide a previously refused application. I believe they do keep records, yes.

If she was refused, she should state it in her application. If not, it will for sure count against her.

What was the reason for refusal? If she has met the requirements for a visit visa, it should be fine.

Oh thanks..of course her refusal is included in her applction history...

On her refused student visa i think she said insufficient fund on her planned study...

From what i know that wont count against her. You ( she) just have to try and sure you meet the requirements next time around.

Haha...thanks johnash ill jst explain it to her and its really not me this time coz i never been refused b4 and hopefully positive again the next time...
