Schengen Visa Rejection reasons

    SCHENGEN VISA REJECTION REASONS


We always dream of travelling to a European country, but we are always in this dilemma about Schengen visa rejections 😒. It has become a nightmare for everyone after hearing many stories about the same.

In this post, I am going to mention complete details and reasons of Schengen/Europe visa rejection and how you can successfully get visa approval.

I, Aarushi after successfully obtaining and using 5 Schengen Visas, I can definitely give my suggestions. However I am not a visa agent, all advice and suggestions are based out of my experiences.

How to apply Schengen Visa?

Here are some important points that leads to rejection of Schengen Visa:

1. If application form is not filled correctly, Passport numbers, dates, name etc are wrong, then it can lead to rejection of visa.

2. No travel insurance can lead to rejection no matter what travel history you have. Travel Insurance is mandatory.

3. Passport should have atleast 2 to 4 blank pages left for visa, if not then visa will get rejected.

4. Not showing your employment proof or business proof can lead to rejection.

5. Having any criminal records can lead to rejection.

6. If visa is not applied in specified time, then it will lead to delays and rejection of visa.

7. Not showing your income proof like ITR and bank statement of last 3 months together can lead to rejection.

8. Showing dummy air tickets or no return air tickets leads to rejection.

9. Not showing confirmed hotel bookings can cause rejection. These days there are pay later options which are best for booking hotels.

10. Bank statement has to have regular flow of income with expenses. For Schengen visa, anywhere between 1.5 to 2 lakhs balance is enough for single person after booking air tickets. if not, then it might lead to visa rejection.

11. Taking a lump sum from family or friends for travel in bank account and showing that as means to survival will definitely lead to visa rejection.

12. A hand written, absence or an unprofessional cover letter leads to rejection. A detail cover letter with purpose and itinerary for travel is mandatory.

13. Photo specification if incorrect, application will not processed further.

14. Having no travel history also leads to rejection sometimes, If you are applying a Schengen visa for the first time and have not travelled to any foreign country before, this can make your application a bit weaker. 

15. Travel to visa free country do not make application strong for schengen visa.

16. All documents for schengen visa should be in COLOR, and not black and white.


These are a few main pointers to keep in mind before applying a schengen visa.

A DAY TRIP TO KAMAKURA, JAPAN Kamakura is a beautiful destination just 1 hour away from Tokyo, lies in south. If you are looking to spend a day or a few days away from hustle bustle of Tokyo, Then Kamakura is right place for you ❤ Getting to Kamakura from Tokyo takes 1 Hour atleast and a train journey cost approx 900 Yen (INR 500) one way. I went to Kamakura on my 29th Birthday as a day trip from Tokyo. This place is in itself is a big experience. Rich history with sandy beaches and temples makes it a best day trip from Tokyo💝 THINGS I DID IN KAMAKURA : 1 . The Great Buddha Temple - One of the most famous 11 meters tall bronze statue in Japan, the Temple feels is only 300 Yen (INR 150) and for children it is 150 Yen (INR 80).  This Temple is 15 minutes walk from Kamakura train station and a 8 minute bus ride from train station. However, I strongly recommend a walk for exploring beautiful lanes, cafes and shops. 2. Hasedera Temple-  This temple was so unique and it is my fav!!...

A HIDDEN GEM IN BELGIUM, EUROPE BRUGES A fairytail city in Belgium, located 3 hours away from Paris, France. I booked a flixbus in advance to travel from Paris to Bruges, it cost around 9 Euros one way. As a solo Traveller, I booked my stay at IBIS Budget hotel that was a walking distance to main attractions and just adjacent to train and bus station. Bollywood movie; PK has been shot here but this places is still an absolute hidden gem.              First thing I did was to take a self guided walking tour for this city. It takes 3 to 4 hours to explore the city by walk. I managed to see almost everything like church, cafes, swan lake, market and the old town. One day in Brugge is absolutely enough as it is a very small town.                             Second thing I did was indulging in FRENCH FRIES, BEER and WAFFLE !!! It is an absolute delight to have it in Belgium where it ...
