Borderless Refunds Policy

When refunds may apply, when they don’t, and what to expect if circumstances change during your application.

Written by James Balino

🔁 Refund Policy & Conditions (Important)

Borderless operates a strict non-refundable fee policy once a billing trigger has been reached.

💳 When Fees Become Non-Refundable

Borderless service fees become non-refundable immediately once billed or paid, as outlined below:

  • If the employer is paying the Borderless fee
    → The fee becomes non-refundable once the candidate formally accepts the offer of sponsorship.

  • If the candidate is paying the Borderless fee
    → The fee becomes non-refundable once the visa application has been completed and submitted to Borderless for review.

  • For all other services
    → Fees become non-refundable upon the earlier of:

    • Invoice being issued, or

    • Work commencing

If a withdrawal occurs before the relevant billing trigger, no Borderless fee is payable.


🔄 Discretionary Credits (Exceptional Cases Only)

In exceptional circumstances, Borderless may, at its sole discretion, offer a credit toward future services.

  • Credits are not guaranteed

  • Credits are not transferable

  • Credits cannot be exchanged for cash

  • Credits cannot be applied to government or third-party fees

All decisions regarding credits are final.


🏛️ Government & Third-Party Fees

Government fees (e.g. Home Office fees) are handled separately:

  • If not yet submitted → will be refunded to the paying party

  • If already submitted → refunds depend on the relevant authority (e.g. Home Office)

Borderless will pass on any refunded amount once received but:

  • Cannot guarantee timelines

  • Is not responsible for third-party refund decisions


⚖️ Cessation of Work (Regulatory Scope)

If a case falls outside Borderless’ regulatory authorisation (IAA Level 1), we may need to stop work.

In these cases:

  • Borderless fees remain non-refundable

  • A discretionary credit may be considered (see above), depending on:

    • The stage of the case

    • Whether all relevant information was disclosed at the outset

No credit will be issued where key information was withheld.


🚫 Refund Conditions

Borderless will not issue refunds where:

  • A candidate or employer has lied or knowingly misled Borderless

  • An employer has instructed Borderless to act against immigration law or sponsorship regulations


📄 Payments, Subscriptions & General Terms

  • All payments must be made via approved methods

  • Subscriptions are 12-month contracts and auto-renew unless cancelled with 30 days’ notice

If you cancel the 12-month term:

  • The remaining balance will still be charged

Additional terms:

  • Subscription fees may increase by up to 10% at renewal

  • All purchases are non-refundable unless explicitly stated

If work must stop due to regulatory limitations:

  • Any refund or credit remains at Borderless’ discretion
