Key Reasons for Refusal
Immigration authorities typically reject Start-Up Visa applications based on:
Lack of clarity in demonstrating innovation, scalability, or viability of the business
Questionable or insufficient endorsement from an approved organization
Weak founder role explanation or unclear ownership structure
Poorly constructed or vague business plan
Inability to demonstrate genuine intent to develop the start-up in the host country
Concerns over financial capacity, previous immigration history, or supporting documentation
Such refusals often arise from structural deficiencies in the application, even when the business itself holds real potential.
Our Response Strategy
At Vale & Co, we offer comprehensive legal support following refusal, including:
🔍 Detailed Refusal Assessment
We begin by examining the refusal letter and entire application package to identify core legal and factual issues that influenced the decision.
🛠️ Corrective Reapplication or Structured Appeal
Depending on the circumstances and jurisdiction, we either:
Rebuild and submit a corrected, strengthened application, or
Initiate a reconsideration, appeal, or judicial review, where procedurally possible (e.g., IRCC Canada or UK Home Office).
📊 Enhanced Documentation & Business Positioning
We work closely with your founding team to reframe your business concept, revise supporting documents, enhance pitch quality, and ensure compliance with all visa program criteria.
🤝 Coordination with Investors & Endorsers
We liaise with your incubator, accelerator, or designated venture capital organization to reinforce credibility and address any weaknesses flagged by immigration officers.
