The refusal letter shared on Facebook by Ghanaian travel enthusiast Kwakulottery showed that the applicant was denied a visa for false representation and submitting a fake bank statement.
“You state that you are employed earning [REDACTED]. In support of your application you have submitted a bank statement from [REDACTED] Bank. Checks by the bank have confirmed that the transactions on the bank statement are false. These official inquiries have been documented in a Document Verification Report (DVR) held by our office. I am satisfied that you have made false representations and submitted a false document in support of your application.
"I am therefore satisfied that you have submitted false documents and you did so with an intention to deceive. I have therefore found that you used deception in your application and I am refusing your application,” the letter read in part.
The applicant was therefore warned that if he applies for a UK visa in the future, it may be automatically refused based on what has transpired in the current application.
He was also informed that visa applications involving deception attract a 10-year refusal period.

“Is there a way to confirm a refusal letter from your agent? Just asking for a friend who got her UK visa refused through an agent. He sent her the refusal letter, but she wants to know if it is original or fake.”
