Yes there’s no previous travel history because so far that I understand traveling to Ghana wouldn’t equate to a travel history to a Spanish visa consular.

But then again, are we saying that it is impossible for someone without previous travel history but with sufficient ties back home and funds to get a Spanish visa??

Because all legit required and verifiable documents were attached to this application and there’s really no where it is that previous travels is compulsory… I taya for this embassy people o

These refusals can be irritating and vexatious especially with the whole stress of gathering documents, the time and money put into the whole thing and even the psychological effects of the waiting period. I empathise with you madam.

It all depends on how the application was structured. No matter the documents and evidence of funds presented, a refusal simply indicates the Visa Officer was not fully convinced about some areas.

It may be lack of clarity and consistency in how those areas were presented or deficiencies on the part of the person that treated the application.

Most likely despite the family pics, visa officer was probably not convinced there's sufficient home ties.

Is the principal applicant on paid or self employment?

Are some of the funds in the company account part of your budget for the trip? If yes was an explanation provided why company funds are going to be used to fund the holiday?

If you do not have the energy for appeal, maybe you should consider going on short holiday to SA, Morocco or Egpyt, and then apply to Spain again after some months.

I recall a couple of friends going on a fully paid and sponsored tour in 2021 got rejected to the surprise of everyone. The tour was fully paid above £9,000. The tour operator was a UK group. The money was lost as there was no option of refund. The visa officers are not moved by availability of funds atimes. Its just another criteria to be ticked on their checklist.

Good day all, pls I just submitted my application yesterday and found out today that airline has cancelled my flight…
Pls can I book another flight to go and resubmit?
Will they accept it ?
