Here are the top reasons why visa’s get rejected and what you should watch out.

1. Incomplete Application 

One of the common reasons for visa rejection is that applicants leave certain form fields empty or incomplete. Seek guidance if needed to ensure you have a full application filled out so that you can be successful in your application. 

2. Fake / False Documents

Avoid making this serious error of providing false documentation. Your visa in such instances will be rejected and also could lead to serious repercussions.

3. Lack of funds

You are typically required to show a bank statement with sufficient balance to the cost of your trip. The Embassy wants to see if you have sufficient funds to cover your stay including flights and accommodation. 

4. Incorrect Visa Type

Ensure you choose the right category in the application. A simple but common error in this regard would mean your visa is rejected. Remember documents for different categories are different and you need to apply in the right category. 

5. Coming back to India

Ensure you have evidence to show that you will come back to India before the expiry of your visa. Strong ties to India will help make the case such as a job, business, family relations etc.

6. Immigration Violations and Criminal History

On any previous travel if there were immigration violations / overstay / not following rules or itinerary then the consular can reject your visa. A criminal background may pose a threat to Italy and your visa can be rejected.

There are so many aspects to keep in mind while you apply. You also need to ensure you have the right and adequate travel insurance. Visa rejection can be avoided if you are careful and follow the right steps. Drop us a note to see how we can help.
