A Visa allows a foreigner entrance and exit in and out of a country. In Europe, countries that are member states of the EU allow the entry of their citizens without the use of a visa provided they only intend to stay for a short time. In Africa, some countries in the AU allow similar entry among friendly countries. This makes it easy for their citizens to travel intercountry for vacation, business, education, etc.
Visas are only necessary when the duration of stay in a foreign country is longer than 90 days. There are several types of visas for diverse purposes. For new applicants with no idea of what to do, hiring the services of experts in agencies that offer guidance throughout the process, is always recommended.
When a visa application is denied, it often breaks down the applicant’s spirit to try again. While some keep on trying until they are finally issued one, others give up without another trial. Avoiding a Visa application denial can only be attained if the applicant is aware of the factors that may hinder the issuance of the visa as well as work towards fixing them.
Who can apply for a Visa?
Anyone with the right sources can apply for a Visa if he or she has a purpose, means, and a need to travel or relocate to a foreign country. However, children, convicted felons, and others who may be found to be threats are illegible.
Below are five of the main reasons why a Visa in Poland gets denied:
Submission of an invalid/damaged/ fake passport
All passports must be handled carefully and have at least two free pages left for the visa application. A valid passport must be authentic and have a deadline of at least 3 months more than required by the visa. An applicant who is unable to furnish a valid passport is likely to have his or her visa denied. To avoid this, a proper check on the passport must be carried out, as well as not tampering with the passport to suit one’s needs.
Without a justified purpose and conditions of the stay
Any Applicant with no valid purpose for the traveling risk being denied a Visa in Poland. Getting a job, admission to a foreign school, and starting a business are not just enough. For purposes of stay, an applicant must try to convince the consular officer and the embassy that he or she has a reasonable plan of survival. As a key bonus, it will be wise to assure the consular officer that the purpose of one’s stay will be beneficial to the country. Insufficient or lacking plans might affect the visa application.
Insufficient means of subsistence
A citizen/person with the means can apply for a Visa to the desired country. In European countries, the duration of stay determines the type of Visa to apply for. Online research and consultation on the type of Visa and how they can be applied are recommended. Having a reliable means of sustenance in the country an applicant is relocating or traveling to is very crucial to prevent dependence. With no source of income or a sponsor paying for the expenses during the stay, the visa application of such an applicant would be denied.
Not Having sufficient Health care insurance Coverage
Oftentimes, stress, mood swings, exposure to certain disease-carrying germs, etc. causes illnesses that require medical attention. With no sufficient health insurance capable of covering all expenses, an ex-pat living in Poland or any country at that becomes a burden to the country. It is, therefore, best to acquire sufficient insurance coverage for traveling.
False flights and Hotels Bookings
Unless an applicant is a family member of another family member in the country, he or she must provide proof of a booked accommodation. After submitting the flight ticket and booking hotels, if any turn out to be fake or counterfeit, they can be used to deny the visa. The flight ticket must be booked and paid for, as well as the accommodation.
