Refusal is required for a UK or overseas conviction carrying a custodial or suspended sentence of 12 months or more, or for any conviction unless more than 12 months have passed since conviction.

Refusal is required where the applicant’s presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good because of conduct, character, associations or other reasons, including convictions outside the criminality grounds.

For conduct when aged 18 or older, refusal is required for overstaying, breaching a condition, illegal entry or deception, subject to subsequent-grant, voluntary-departure, 90-day, 30-day and overstayer-exception provisions.

Refusal is required for false representations, false documents or false information, or undisclosed relevant facts, in relation to the current or a previous ETA application.

Refusal is required after an ETA was cancelled by the Home Office under ETA 5.8, unless entry clearance or permission to enter or stay was subsequently granted with knowledge of the cancellation.
