Mistakes to avoid to save your Schengen Visa application from rejection

If you are going to arrive in Europe and stay in a Schengen member country for under 90 days, you will need a Schengen visa. This visit can be for work, study, or travel. So, in order to make your arrival in Europe possible, you need to ensure that you apply for a Schengen visa correctly, eliminating the chances of rejection.

Here are the common pitfalls to avoid while applying for a Schengen visa. These mistakes will lead to the rejection of your visa application. Why risk rejection when a little caution can make things right?

Avoid these mistakes:

• Submitting invalid documents (including fake ones) along with the application
• Have a passport that’s due for expiry in less than 3 months from the date of departure from the Schengen country
• Having a passport with an insufficient number of blank pages (less than 2)
• Missing out on providing documents that explain the purpose of the trip
• Applying for a visitor visa without confirming your family ties with the residents in the Schengen area
• Not having enough funds to pay for your stay in the Schengen country and not confirming it with valid proof while applying
• You have been in the Schengen Area for over 90 days in the past 180 days and still, you applied
• A Schengen Visa previously issued wasn’t used or wasn’t used for the purpose intended
• You have something outstanding like refusal of a previous visa or unpaid fine and hence receiving a negative message from Schengen Information System
• Owing to your providing invalid/forged documents before and violating the law one of the Schengen member states believe that you are a threat to the rule of law in that region
• Not having health insurance for an amount needed by the Schengen country or having a fake insurance policy

Now that you know what could lead to a refusal of a Schengen visa application, make sure you steer clear of the pitfalls and succeed in reaching Europe.
