5 Reasons Why Your Visa May Be Denied by hotice20: 2:00pm On Dec 18, 2016
I stumbled on this on Wakanow blog site and thought to share for the benefit of people trying to secure a visa to some destination.


Rejection is the last thing you want to hear after investing considerable time, resources and energy into a visa application process. Below are some of the major factors that could dim your chances of getting a visa.

#1. History of refusals

If you have a history of visa refusals in the past, never apply again until you consult a trusted visa expert. The danger of not seeking professional advice is that you are likely to damage your travel profile forever. You don’t want this to happen. The truth is that no embassy would be quick to grant a travel Visa to an applicant with a history of refusals. Such applicants are often seen as desperate to leave their country and may not return.

#2. Misrepresentation of facts

This is where majority of applicants get everything into a complicated mess. Fake documents and deliberate misrepresentation of personal information or travel history only increase your chances of being denied your visa. Be honest with your answers, especially if you have been denied visa in the past. Dishonesty in situations like this could earn you a lifetime travel ban. If you are unfortunate to get a US ban, this could last forever while the UK ban lasts as long as 10 years, depending on the severity of the case.

#3. When your lifestyle is inconsistent with a visa category

Some visa applicants often burn their own fingers by choosing a category that does not tally with their lifestyle. Imagine a young man, just fresh out of a Nigerian university, opting for a visa to enjoy a luxurious weekend escape in Antigua in the Caribbean. It’s even worse when such a person has no travel history to back up their new taste for such indulgences.

#4. Slim bank account

Your bank statement is one factor that can decide the fate of your visa. Every embassy wants to be certain that you have enough in your account to sponsor your trip. Your application could be denied if the visa officer is not satisfied with your statement of account.

#5. Lack of reasonable ties at home

The visa officer wants to be sure you would return home. So, a few ties like a good job, family and properties could nullify every fear the officer might have of you. If you don’t have such ties, your visa could be denied.
The interesting thing is that most of these visa issues can be better managed by experienced professionals. Not only do they provide expert advice to prospective visa applicants, they handle visa requests with highly impressive success rates.
