Visit visa previously refused now applying for settlement

[Thewanderer]

Hi all

My wife's (then girlfriend) visit visa was refused due to her boss not confirming that she could return to work after the visit to see me, so from immigration a point of view she had no reason to return and we had provided misleading information. So I went to Thailand to visit where we were married at the same time. We are now putting together a settlement application with the help of the guides on the forum. In the settlement application I am going to include a cover letter, is it a good idea to explain the previous rejection and in how much detail?

Many thanks for any help you can give

Yes - mention the refusal to ensure you make an honest application and provide as much info as possible.
