Applicants refused entry to the UK as a family visitor can no longer appeal the decision as of 25 June 2013. There will be no right to appeal
unless the appeal is on human rights or race discrimination grounds. 

Where a visa application is refused the entry clearance officer will send or give the notice of refusal to the applicant, which will list the reasons for the refusal. Prior to the change in the law, applicants could appeal the refusal decision and submit further information to support their visa application. Under the new law, any applicant refused entry can only now reapply for the visa. It must be ensured that this is supported by additional documents or a written explanation fully addressing the reasons why the previous application was refused.
