Applying for a UK visitor visa in India after receiving a UK visa refusal in Saudi Arabia
Upvote:2
You can apply for a UK visit visa in any country that has a British mission with a visa issuing post AND where you are not in breach at the time of your application. In your case we have to take account of your previous refusal in which the ECO pointed out that your status in Saudi Arabia is possibly imperilled and questioned its validity. Your application contained no explanation for why you had not regularised and it should have.
This leaves you with two alternatives...
Regularise your status in Saudi Arabia and make a fresh application at the British mission there citing change of circumstances; or
Go to a place where your status is regularised (in your case, India) and apply there (also citing change of circumstances).
At face value the first option is better because there is less to explain and you will have fully addressed the reasons for your prior refusal. The second option leaves the possibility for the ECO to conclude that he was right and you are not a bona fide applicant. Moreover if you return to India you have the problems of establishing yourself there as 'plugged in' to the economy, which will take you a while to accomplish.
As such would the previous queries being raised in Saudi Arabia regarding my visa refusal be still valid and be used as reference while assessing my new visa application?
Yes they would. Not only that, but they would also raise new doubts about your circumstances. But as mentioned, you can apply wherever you want.
NOTE: I looked at UK Standard Visitor Visa refusal due to lack of proof of employment and accommodation. What are my options? again and concluded that the answer there still stands. They are not going to be happy until you either regularise or explain why you have not regularised.
