If you think you gave it your best shot and your visa application was denied, it does not have to be the end of your journey. Even with genuine intentions, the best of us have experienced visa denial from various Embassies. Don’t take it personally, just follow these few tips on what to do if your visa is denied – some of which have been culled from WES.
Reapply
You can always reapply. In fact, some individuals are approved on their second (or even third) application.
Again, make sure you do your research. Understanding the reason for your denial is the first step in having it overturned. You will receive a notice stating the reason you were denied.
There may be steps you need to take before you can reapply if you are hoping to receive a different result. For example, make sure you provide any new documentation or additional evidence that is needed to overcome the previous ineligibility. This could include financial records, property statements, or educational records, depending on the reason for denial.
Be Truthful
Many applicants are guilty of telling lies in their visa application. Avoid lying or misrepresenting any information in your application, documentation, or interview. This will absolutely result in a visa denial. Plus, it could make you entirely ineligible to appeal or receive a visa.
Stay Informed
If you stay informed and follow the correct procedures and processes, you might soon be on your way to obtaining your visa.
