UK visa refused! Re-apply? Appeal? Or Judicial Review? What are my options

Upvote:3

To answer the immediate question, an appeal is not an option for a standard visitor visa (as stated in your refusal notice), and judicial review requires qualified legal advice that you're not going to get for free on an internet forum. So reapplying sometime later is probably your most realistic option.

I'd encourage you to read Should I submit bank statements when applying for a UK Visa? What do they say about me? in detail. Consider your application from their perspective: you have less than two month's wages in the bank, you have large additional deposits coming into your account from who knows where, and you propose to spend half of your savings on a trip to the UK. That makes you look rather eager to get into the UK, which raises their concern you may be intended to overstay.

You see someone fully capable of affording your trip, and I don't doubt that you are, but what they see is someone who just had less than two week's wages in the bank, suddenly received nearly two month's wages from various unidentified sources, and decided it was time for a vacation to the UK.

You can present a stronger application if you wait some time until you can show a clean set of bank statements—without a lot of unexplained large transactions—that show a history of savings so that the cost of your trip is a much smaller portion of your balance.
