Visa Rejection Reasons
Factors that can get your visa rejected
Lack of Financial Evidence
Having no proof that one has sufficient money to spend during their stay, either through bank statements or financial guarantees, will result in a visa denial.
Inadequate or Inaccurate Documentation
Failure to prepare proper or inadequate documents leads to a direct rejection since all the documentation has to be perfect.
Previous Violation of Visa or Criminal Record
Staying beyond visa, breaching immigration rules, or even having a criminal record previously can be another important reason for your visa denial.
Failure to Provide Strong Ties in Your Country
Inability to show any strong personal, professional, or financial connections to your home country may raise a question over your intention to return.
Improper Justification of Purpose for Visit
Failure or ambiguity in explaining the purposes for visiting a country or failing to provide evidence like itineraries or invitation letters may result in your visa rejection.
