If your decision was made on or after 5 October 2023

You will not be able to apply for an administrative review.

If your decision was made before 5 October 2023

Your time limit for requesting an administrative review against an EUSS decision has now expired.

It may still be possible to submit an out of time administrative review if you can show evidencethat you applied as soon as you could and the Home Office is satisfied that it would be unjust not to waive the time limit.

If you want to make an out of time application for an administrative review, youll need to complete theadministrative review application form online and explain within why it has been submitted out of time.

You must use a separate form for each person applying for a review, whether theyre a child or an adult.

If youre still waiting for a decision

If you made a valid application for an administrative review before 5 October 2023, it will continue to be considered and decided unless it is withdrawn.

Fees

It costs 80 per person to apply for an administrative review.

The fee for your administrative review will be refunded if either:

The fee will not be refunded if your decision is changed solely because youve submitted new information or evidence.
