Reinstatement

If we terminate your application, because you have not met our requirements, you may be able to reinstate it. However, you must prove it was always your intention to proceed with your application, and explain the reason why you did not meet our requirements.

Are there time limits?

You must request reinstatement within 2 months of you being able to meet the outstanding requirement.  

You cannot request reinstatement later than 12 months after we terminate your application.

Requesting reinstatement

You need to send form 14, a fee of GBP £150 and supporting evidence, for example a witness statement explaining why you did not comply with our requirements and confirming when you became able to comply to:

Concept House
Cardiff Road
Newport
South Wales
NP10 8QQ
United Kingdom

If we do not allow your request, the fee is not refundable and your application remains terminated.

What happens next?

We will consider your request and tell you if we will allow it.

If we allow your request, you must then meet our requirements within 2 months. If you meet these requirements, your application will proceed.
