Documents to prepare

  • Passport valid at least 6 months, with all previous visa pages
  • 3–6 months of bank statements plus a bank certification letter
  • Employment letter, or company affidavit for business owners
  • Civil status records — marriage certificate, birth certificates — with certified translations where required
  • Itinerary, accommodation and invitation letter where applicable
  • Photos to each embassy's own size and background specification

Why cases get rejected

  • Large deposits appearing shortly before lodgement invite source-of-funds questions
  • Any mismatch between the form and the attachments can be read as misrepresentation
  • Paying for non-refundable tickets before approval is an avoidable risk
  • Uncertified translations of civil records are refused by many embassies
  • Lodging close to departure leaves no room to supply requested extra evidence

    Travel history, prior refusals, financial and employment stability are reviewed to shape the strongest lodgement approach.
