![Why Your Europe Tourist Visa (Schengen) Can Be Denied? Desi Couple On The Go [English Subtitles]](/img/tr.png)
1) Same thing happened to me in France and Germany. Got rejecteted twice, lost 80K INR as I had everything booked assuming I will get visa. Why wouldnt I ? Eventually My fellow passenger had to go to europe all alone without me and I was heartbroken
2) Next Year applied in Netherlands through Tour operator, THANK GOD they called me for an interview and asked me why my Visa was rejected last year twice. I got a chance to tell my side and I got the VISA with them telling me ALWAYS APPLY FROM SAME COUNTRY AFTER REJECTION
Learning
1) Spend extra money to go through tour company as they process thousand of application each day
2) Indian passport is shite.
3) ALWAYS APPLY FROM SAME COUNTRY AFTER REJECTION
How much funds did u showed
@@Aman12353 I think 4L INR in Savings + PPF(8Yrs) so you can imagine and I was work in corporate earning 15LPA+ at that time
What would be the best way to book the flights before VISA approval?
Is it possible for me to just get the reservation, without paying the full price?
If yes, please share the best option available.
Much thanks!!
What do you mean by the 3rd learning ? "ALWAYS APPLY FROM THE SAME COUNTRY AFTER REJECTION " ?
Can you explain ?
Very sorry to hear about that, but could you please let me kno, How many days they took to process and reject your visa?
Schengen visa should be taken from first port of entry in schengen or country where you have maximum stay .. Since you have 02 rejections advisable to wait for 6-8 months before you re apply .. When you re apply ensure that you have all hotel bookings, return tickets, make a day to day itinerary explaining places that you shall be visiting & your bank statement having ample funds to support your stay abroad.
Mam.. Only reason for ur rejection was ur 2 months long only Switzerland itinerary...
Literally no one goes to Europe for two long months and visit only one small country like Switzerland...
That created doubt about purpose of visit......!! Anyways really informative video.... One can learn a lot from this..
Thank you mam
i know there is always a reason for rejection, and they come on youtube complaining.
Hi radhika, i have 2 Schengen visa on my passport and last year i applied through vfs france and i got the maximum no. of days which was 6 months with 90 days stay. What i have noticed the biggest problem in your case is your stay duration. You Shouldn’t have shown an itinerary of 2 months because spending 2 months in switzerland is nothing less than 5 to 7 lakh rupees and looks suspicious. Even if you have shown them only 10 days itinerary they would have given you minimum 30days stay. So next time plan a short itinerary without any ambiguity, you should be clear about your itinerary in cover letter with intra travel bookings. Like my itinerary was paris to bordeaux to toulouse to Paris and i have booked all the train tickets through omio app later after getting visa i cancelled them. So next time do take care of this point. All the best for your future travel .
Can u give your instagram id?
could you share your detailed experience how to do Omio app for travelling in france?
I am applying to France for visa..can you tell me what all documents you gave? Is ITR of previous 3 years required? I haven't filed ITR in the previous years..i wasn't working and joined a job only last year..will it be a problem for me?
@@sucharita6070 no

As an Indian now living in Europe for over a decade, i find the process of European tourist visa extremely cumbersome, arbitrary, unnecessarily laborious and off-putting. As a potential tourist, you get so demotivated. Try through Spain or Portugal next time. Those countries are a bit more relaxed.
wow, you are living in Europe, congrats man.
@@AnotherAnalyst nothing so congratulatory about it. It has its both pros and cons
Hello, do you think applying through Spain would be a better idea than through Germany?
Thank you..
@@mindfully_manali apply from Lithuania or Malta :)
@@mindfully_manali anyday . Yes
Dear Radhika, I feel you. I got my visa rejected today from France. It came as a blow because I have US visa and I am a resident of UAE but still. I m sad but I hope things will turn out well.
I think they have something against female TH-camrs or what? Hehe
@@Radhika_Nomllers I got schengen visa twice, the best possible way in your case will be to get an invite letter from your friends who resides in schengen country.
Doesn't matter if you are resident of UAE or have USA visa. They give visa quote based for third world nation. Keep trying different embassy. You will get one
Perks of holding a third world passport
Dear Annu Sia - Have watched some your vids-I liked it. As far as schengen visa goes, as i mentioned on a separate reply I know one takes these rejections personally. you either feel dejected that they did not see your case properly or that they reject single females or Indians or whatever. Instead I woukd suggest getting a good idea of why it happened. Please contact a tour operator (organized group tour people) who cater to Indians in Dubai (you are in same boat :) ). Some of them will offer visa services as well. If you talk to those guys and mention your particulars you will get more info on where/how to apply and if being single /female is an issue how to counter that with documents/data. Also fine details matter- duration/type/deductible of insurance, trip details/duration etc. All of these matter and a professional who does this day in out is better placed to improve your chances..hope that helps
This is awful, love. I’m so sorry you had to go through this nightmare thrice, the rejection and the financial loss really pinch :( I’m so sure the Universe will gift you something amazing instead for the upcoming months, and hopefully a tourism board will bring you into Europe too very soon and clear this rejection record ❤️
Twice* 🙈
Sharanyaaaa 🥲
I hope so! Thank you for being the sweetest ❤️
Me and my wife got our Schengen Visas twice applying via Belgium and Netherlands. It is very imperative that they feel we will come back to our original country after the trip. My wife is unemployed however had a pretty strong Bank Balance and applied saying she was financing on her own.
What was ur wife bank statements please. 🙏🏼
This is what exact the same I have gone through. But still other candidates who forged the documents got a visa . What a disheartening thing when you follow the right track .
Radhika, I am feeling very sorry to know this. My Schengen visa (Estonia) got rejected just a week back and this was my first visa rejection too. Earlier, I got Schengen visas for Netherlands and Iceland (all applied via Thailand as I was living there). This was the first time I applied via VFS India and got rejected. Feels terrible. I know. Never mind, I am glad to see you exploring Ethiopia. Happy travels darling!
🥲🙈 but Africa ❤️
Can you tell me how long it took to process the application? Thanks
Did you collect it from vfs or they couriered it to your address ?
Mine also got rejected. Can you tell me if they send the passport or we need to collect it personally
That courier insurance is not mandatory, but it’s the VFS guy who force you
Yessss
Yes they force. I told my wife not to opt for it but he said it is mandatory (blatant lie) & worst of all because of rejected visa they asked us to collect passport from vfs.
My suggestion is for you to put, "Tourism," as your purpose for the visit in any place in Europe. That is what I did. My interview, submission of documents, and biometrics took only 1 hour and 45 minutes. I received my French visa 7 days after my appointment at the VFS Global Center in San Francisco. Also, you should have a credit card to pay for your fees even though on their website it stated that you could pay in cash. Good luck on your next application!
Hey, I think 2 reasons for rejection:
1) Your statement that: "I might go to other countries".
This arouses suspicion. Always be precise in everything. Let them know your exact Iteniary along with the return tickets.
2) You told, you applied for 2 months Schengen Visa. I think it is too much for the 1st visit.
If for the 1st time, you had applied for 2 weeks or 10 days and then going for the second time for 2 months. That would be safe bet.
Just Sharing my observation.
Never mind, best luck next time.
Also Switzerland and France are Geographically Neighbors. They would have definitely consulted each other.
For next time you can try from any of the East European countries.
I know they have consulted each other and that is exactly what I said in the video. Did you even watch it?
It is not my first visit matlab what assumptions 😂
It doesn’t matter if applying for 1st time you ask for 10 days/2 weeks. I applied for 1st time in 2011 and got for 6 months.
Yes I think so too. Just saying 'I'll be visiting other countries" raises a red flag. Itineraries have to be precise, with hotel/other accomodation bookings clearly mentioned.
A girl with good heart. you put so much in video. Thank you very much ☺. I wish you will get your visa next time for sure!
Sorry to hear…
Some of my few cents; people normally stay in Switzerland for not more than 3 or 4 days max a week. Which is definitely a mistake as there are lots of amazing places to visit. But when they see long time in one country. They feel you are going for work. Specially when you don’t have an office job. Now if you get a local person to sponsor you; things are different.
And yes normally German embassy is a bit easier to get tourist VISA as they get less applicants for tourism. However Germany is also the largest job market in EU; so there can be some confusion if they doubt that you are coming for work.
Anyway better to put a well rounded iteanrry with several countries of EU for the VISA.
Once you are in; there is no one checking. Sometime you wouldn’t even know that you reached another country!
My friend is German citizen and his family is inviting me for a family program. I'm not employed yet, was a student and still taking a diploma course through a private organization. Now in this situation how should I apply? For the sponsorship which will be better, my dad or the German friend?
Thank you so much...
@@mindfully_manali If you can get a sponsorship of your German friend; your VISA is very much guaranteed. I personally sponsored many people and never had any issue of VISA rejection. However; that sponsorship is a bit tricky.
You need a letter confirming that he/she will take care of you when you are in Germany. And with the letter he/she has to include his passport and probably also bank statement to proof that he/she can take your responsibility financially. Now that is not something people would do unless he/she is pretty close to you!
But if you can get such documents from a residence; you will have a guaranteed VISA.
@@AMPhotography Thank you so much.
Yes, he can attach these documents along the letter, that's not a problem.
And should it be better to apply through any agency?
Later when I'll apply if I ask you regarding the process, will it be okay?
@@mindfully_manali There is not really any additional advantage of going via agency. If you have right documentation; you will get the VISA by applying directly. Anyway you will have to go to VFS Global for the submission of the document. So should be all right!
@@AMPhotography alright..thank you so much...
I`m really sorry your visa got denied, sometimes it`s like there is not a "straight line" to get your visa approved, yet you need to spend so much time.I`d advice you to just try again and not give up-All the best
I can completely understand as my visa just got rejected 2 weeks back for the same reasons, though I am working for a private company since a decade and I had submitted my leave approval letter too, premium services of VFS is of no use , I lost money to it as it was worthless. For me disheartening is that I had booked non refundable flight tickets, I still don't understand the logic behind the requirements of flight tickets and insurance when the reckless consulate want yo reject visa for this stupid reason and waste someones hard earned money , if you have any idea then let me know if there is any grievance system to complaint aginst the consulate
If they reject visa the country should be obliged to back the visa fee and all travelling + food expenses. Otherwise everything Swiss should be boycotted by Indian Government. ❤❤
These Schengen countries are unnecessarily making visa rules strict for no reason. Due to this so many genuine travellers are facing financial loses of this visa charges every year.
They are taking random decisions and rejecting genuine travellers visa for no reason.
Strict action should be taken against such people who are taking these kind of random decisions & rejecting genuine travellers visa how can they rejecting strong profiles ?????
I am pretty sure the guidance you received was wrong. Rejection of past applications does matter, and all the countries within Schengen visa have a central system, so you can't hide a past decision by applying through another embassy. I've several Schengen stamps on my passport and from my personal experience I will suggest following - 1. Apply from embassy in the country which is your port of entry; in case you are visiting multiple countries, apply through country in which you are going to spend maximum time.
2. Documents should be well organised and easily understandable and stamped/validated wherever necessary.
3. You should have more than enough funds in your accounts(disclose all your accounts). You should not have multiple fluctuations in your credit & debits.Big incomings/outgoings becomes a risk.
4. Cover letter is important and it should be neat and precise. Too much info can be fatal. Just give your background, how you are funding your trip, explain purpose and tell them where you will be going and explain them your itinerary and at last show them that you have intentions to return to india post visit eg tell them you have a job/house/parents etc in India and you will come back to them.
And as you said you told swiss embassy you might visit other countries but haven't shown the plans clearly, it is a strong point for them. You need to be transparent and very precise with your itinerary. 3rd rejection may actually put you on their blacklist.
The wierd thing is the money is ours and yet we have no power to question and ask for validation or reason for the rejection.
Foreign ministry should step in and teach these countries a good lesson.
If your first got rejected, you must wait for at least 3 to 6 months before submitting the schengen application again. Eu has this regulation in place. You can explore that regulation.
I appreciate you have made this video even after rejection. Every one wants to know the easy way out, but we hardly want to pay attention on one's ordeal. Hope, you will get it next time, may b you can look for a travel agent's assistance who has the good Google reviews.
Never give up I reject 2 times but now I have 3 Schengen visa
I had opted for premium lounge service with vfs, they filled the form n checked the documents however they filled wrong visa type form, so basically staff are not trained n its pure waste of money, I was refused for visa n then same week I applied again n filled the form by myself, it was approved.
They did provide mineral water part of service 🙄
This is pretty scary and sad at the same time. If you know someone who is a resident somewhere in Europe and is ready to sponsor / invite you, I guess it will really help. Hope your next plan is even more exciting than Europe :) Best of luck!
Yep!! That would be the best bet but what shitty procedure ya! Like why we have to go through so much haha
I had an invitation letter from friend who lives in Netherlands and also rest of the criteria fulfilled yet my visa got rejected.
I did same way.. but rejected
I am sure you must be knowing this but just sharing.. you should apply to that country embassy where you would be spending maximum number of nights or first port of entry & never say you are not sure where you will be going after this country. Embassy always needs a concrete plan for your itinerary and day wise schedule. once visa is obtained and your plan is changed due to some other reason, that is accepted and no one will ask but while appying visa, you need to give first day to last day plan with supporting hotel booking in that city/country/place. hope you get visa next time. :)
Yes. Gave a concrete two months plan to Switzerland with a request to give a multiple entry visa. But well 🥲
Just go in as a Muslim refugee. You will get everything free.
Hi Radhika, here are my two bits. I think you should have applied with the Swiss Embassy again and tried to resolve their doubts. Its absolutely false that if you are refused by one embassy, that doesn’t impact your chances with another schengen embassy because their system is interlinked.Also you said that you had used different travel itineraries for both Switzerland and France, this in itself is a contradiction of your own statement, such a thing implied to them , that you were really desperate for the visa, which is a very unfavourable situation to be in with an embassy. Had you backed up your application to the Swiss Embassy with the bunch of documents you used for France Embassy , you would have gotten the visa. Also the statement that if you are rejected thrice, you will be banned is absolutely false, unless they feel you forged any documents or misrepresented any facts, they wouldn’t ban you.
Thanks Manpreet
Hi,
Even i faced visa refusal but it was a little different, could you please share your email id so that i could share my experience and i hope you can help me in overcoming this.
Waiting for your response.
Thankyou
@@sparshbindal4004 please send me your email Id , I ll email you,
@manpreet it seems like Swiss Embassy don't encourage reapplying (I got refuse coz I failed to submit cover letter + it not mention in list of their document). I emailed and went in-person to embassy (in USA) and they are just saying appeal our decision. I am not sure when people refer to reapply to Swiss again, In India, do they allow to reapply? I know you can reapply with another Embassy but Swiss Embassy are not saying "Reapply" they are just saying "Appeal" which no one will do.
biggest mistake is 2 month itinerary
You should never change embassies.. reapplying through Swiss with better documentation would have been a better approach
Just got denied for Spain visa.. That too with all docs and business visit... Really disheartening after doing all the paper and running around.... Can relate to you🙏🙏🙏
@Hi Sandeep, Did you reapply after the refusal. I am in similar position, Could you please guide ?
Applied my Schengen visa through France.....got refusal mentioning my purpose of travel is not reliable
Did they ask u to visit VFS center to take passport
So I applied for Schengen visa last august,worst time I could’ve as covid was still on and mine was a fresh passport so I almost entered a rejection without knowing I’m walking into it. A few things I gathered is,you never know with embassies,it’s literally a lot based on luck. That time i was told the person who was inviting me apparently had to get a town hall letter from france govt and an invitation wasn’t valid,it was literally the most stupid thing I had heard. Anyhow,I am never applying via france embassy again,I found it very unreliable and literally no reason for rejection,in that same time,they rejected so many visas of people,it was like they didn’t want tourists at all. God knows why they did it.
How much funds did u showed
6 Schengen Visa with the latest being Swiss and France. I stayed 15 days in swiss with a normal hotel and hostels, still, the avg cost for me with food, transport, and everything was around 3L. Things are expensive in swiss.
Also when you show them 2 monthly itineraries its a major red flag, even if you have a strong itr and regular flow of funds, still they consider it as a big suspicious move.
Try Applying with an itinerary of 15 days and try to keep everything look normal with hotels, flight tickets, and if possible all internal travel proof. Like swiss pass, half pass or flights if any, They hardly ask for internal transfer but submitting this makes the profile a little better.
Also never submit funds just 2-3 days before the submission. They always see how regular are your funds and whether you will be able to afford the visit. This establishes that you will return to your home country either because of a job or business.
The purpose should be clear, Itinerary should be believable and short. Once you get the visa and enter the EU, you are free to roam around anywhere in the region as you like, irrespective of what itinerary you have submitted.
Don't loose hope, apply again after 6 months or next year.
So true. none can stay in Switzerland for longer than about a 2 weeks before dying of boredom. they know this.
Few things you can do in future ! Take the premium services it’s just 3-4K extra but it’s for a year and they treat you like royalty. Second, your bank statements are important so keep that strong but also show solid assets like your house / company anything like that registered in your name. One reason may be length of visa but literally your visa can be rejected for no reason at all.
Yea bank balance was strong probably they could not handle that I am a single woman with no registered company.
@@Radhika_Nomllers and what is a strong bank balance? Any specific amount that needs to be maintained?
@nidhi mohan Kamal is the premium service really for a year?
@@Radhika_Nomllers while applying Schengen visa with 3 months bank statement. is it ok. Can you please reply
@@Radhika_Nomllers Singe woman, good looking, they know you could find someone and marry them in about 15 minutes, and stay forever. Also make TH-cam videos, thats work. you would be making you tube videos in europe and earning money on them and hence braking your visa conditions. All these things will not help you get a visa.
Radhika, Why do influencers like u glorify Europe,there's so much in India,which is unexplored. I know you have been to many such places,but still, India has a lot more to offer,and If u really want to go abroad,then u can visit those countries which are India's friends (eg- Japan, Israel etc). Europeans are racist and don't like the Browns, that's why this visa thing happens to many Indians,u won't find an European with the same problem while visiting India,plz there's so much in India undiscovered, discover it, u can visit states like Odisha, chhatisgarh etc, there are places to visit other than north and north east,plz don't get me wrong,i apologise in advance for it..
This is just a suggestion for my favourite travel influencer,hope u will consider
I have been exploring India for the past 3 years, thanks to Covid 😅
No one is glorifying Europe and we all know we do not have the passport privilege.
But it is my dream to visit places like Iceland and Norway not because I want to glorify “Europe”, but I am fond of the unique landscape of these countries
@@Radhika_Nomllers yes,i know,I have been following u for a long time,btw u r my fav travel influencer ❤️❤️
Thank youuuuu 😊
What a bullshit excuse. Sounds like Angoor Khatte He !!
I recently got back from Switzerland, and i also had some issues while applying for the visa but it got accepted at the very first time as i had an invitation letter from a friend who is a swiss citizen, you should also try to get an invitation as it makes your application much more stronger
That's a great piece of advice...!!! So, if I get an invitation letter from a citizen from any Schengen country, then it'd be easier to get the visa? How much would it help then?
@@mindfully_manali ,,z,,,m,
@@divyampratap5686 sorry, I didn't get this.
What type of invitation
@@mindfully_manali No, Invitation Or Sponsorship Certainly Does Not Make You Qualified For Sure Shot Visa
What I think.... 2 month visa is very long visa in Europe and cost of stay will be above 10,000 usd or even more.
May be your bank statement or ITR not strong.
You should plan via Italy visa in place of France.
I got Europe visa three times. Last one was for 6 months. Pro trip. Book a dummy booking first 1. Dummy hotel bookings. 2. Free cancellation emirates flexi plus flight. 3. Always go through Greece, Czech Republic, or other weak countries. Once you get the Visa, you can proceed to book your hotels and your flight tickets. Still you will have a month in ur hand to plan it. Show thr maximum stay at these places and once you get the visa change the Itinerary .
Is it ok to show 1 country n visit another n not go from where u got visa?
Same here..My swiss visa application got rejected. The reasons they gave are just out of this world. Wanted to appeal for that..but thought..let it be.
1. You need actual booking and not just reservations.
2. You need to show a definite itinerary and show hotel bookings as per the itinerary.
3. You need buy insurance before applying for visa.
4. Maintain a good bank balance at the time of applying.
5. apply visa through country where you are staying for maximum days
Haha of course I did all of that. Won’t go to Schengen office with incomplete documents and without doing my due diligence 😅
Schengen country embassies don't require confirm booking. They ask only for reservations.
@@Radhika_Nomllers Asal me Europe 🇪🇺 wahan jyada log nahi chahta ... abhi wahan North America se kaafi tourist aye hue hain ... June ke baad visa bahut asani se mil jayega aapko
But the schengen website says not to book actual tickets and rather asks for dummy flight bookings. So is that info misleading?
My visa also got rejected with reasons beyond understanding. I am a govt employee and had showed 6 lac plus in my account. Got invitation letter, I'd card and the property proof of my friend in Sweden. Despite of my being a govt employee I was given the reason that I might not return to my home country India. I had booked confirmed return tickets. Got all concerned letters from my office. But at last rejected with the silly reasons of low balance, travel itinerary not satisfactory reasons. It is really disgusting to have such a visa granting system.
I also got rejected 1st time from Swiss embassy. I am a professional CA. So even I didn’t have a corporate job history. The only reason I felt I got rejected 1st time was that I didn’t have a reference (invite) letter. The second time I applied again to the same Swiss embassy with the reference letter and more documentation I.e. even my property papers to prove that I will be coming back to India. Even I am unmarried so we have to put up a very strong case.
I feel sad for you, but the only mistake you did was trying with the France Embassy 2nd time. You should have applied to the Swiss embassy only with those detailed documentation, I am sure you would have got the visa. Bt nvm, next time 😊.
Can you please explain about this reference letter??
Thank you
Please try applying from Czech Republic . I am sure you will get your visa . It doesn’t have anything to do with your rejected visa .
Have you applied for czech visa before
My US visa got rejected 4 times few years back & post that I have stopped trying even. Got rejected cos I am unmarried & they clearly told me to first get settled and then apply.
I also got rejection for a US visa twice, and the reason we found out was 'overdocumentation' they'd start to to suspect your travel motives if you provide too many documents (it can easily come as being pushy)
Lmao.
can you mention the documents that were seen as unnecessary?
@@A-G-23 property documents, marriage certificate, educational documents.
All that you need is a clear itinerary and anything that proves that you're coming back(e.g leave approval from your workplace)
@@utkarshdharmadhikari6816 Oh! Property documents is seen as overdocumentation too? I had read that is kinda necessary to show strong links to your home country?
@@A-G-23 it's optional, not mandatory. Show it only if they ask for it. Don't hand it over to the officer as soon as she asks for residency proofs
VFS premium lounge did not help me to get a France Visa. It just helped me to save time and have a cup of coffee. But overall it was a loss because my visa got rejected.
They are not giving visa and therefore they must refund the visa charges . We are loosing our money. Every year highest number of tourists, students and workers are travelling to Europe but sorry to hear your case. Atleast they should not give this treatment to the youtube vloggers.
true..
Hello Radhika.- Just before Covid hit, I took my mom on a UK, Europe trip and needed to arrange both visas for her. Based on that I can make some suggestions.
First - Switzerland was a BAD option...they are one of the most conservative in immigration/visa issues - all kinds of visas (work, spouse too )...and this is true of quite a few others...
Please use a local tour operator's visa services section to apply for EU visa. I used one In bangalore. They are applying for visas day in and day out (for their organized tours)and can guide you reg which country to apply, rules and also papers required based on your specific case. My mom is retired, has a pension and my dad was not travelling with us and I was sponsoring the whole trip. Based on that he recommended France and gave me a list of documents (including a NOC from dad) and once collected he put together a file which is organized as per embassy norms. If you had applied for France in the first place , you would have got it....different countries in the EU have different criteria, timelines, rules, leniency even though they are all EU countries. The choice of where to apply is as important as anything. Also once you choose france its important to know what the itinerary should look like (entry into france first and number of days there etc) even if you are not going to follow that once u get there.
I am sure you know some of this but the extra 2-3 k I gave the visa desk at the tour operator was well worth it...he makes appointments/reschedules for you as well.
My brother works a corporate job and his EU visit was on a French visa...
Both got their french visas in two-three days and so they decide fast too...
Sorry for the long reply...reach out if you need contact of visa guy in Bangalore
That would be really helpful 😊
Although have given up on Europe for sometime
Great to know all this. It ll be quite helpful for us. Can you pls share contact details of that agency in Bangalore?
Yes,please share a contact details of the visa operator
Sorry guys...I have replied thrice to this thread providing a name but all have disappeared. Looks like youtube has a rule against naming a company/website...Not sure how to give you the info.
@@AmitGupta-wt7jjyeah you can metion it in your info of your channel/profile. #justindianjugaad brrrrrrr 💥😄
Sometimes l think that the Embassy to easy use the excuse that they have a doubt that you don't return to your country of origin
Thanks for the video. Don't be sad..I love you ❤️
Got refusal letter today from France embassy, it was processed in a day, no call, no interview- just refusal
Itinerary is the problem .. plan for short travel .. third time you will get sure as profile is very strong
If you know someone in the country that you want to visit and they can write an letter for you to attach with your application- addressed to embassy that they know you and will be responsible for you, can make things a lot easier. I understand that this might not be always possible.
my husband has got an invitation letter and sponsorship letter for me and I'm applying for 90 days visit visa but will they not reject my visa thinking I won't come back to my country?
@@s.batool9283 Not , if you have an return ticket, or an outward ticket to show that you will be leaving
No worry... Kabhi na kabhi ho jayega... Best of luck...
Oh, that is strange... Usually, it is not that tough... I got my US visa rejected for no reason but did not face it for Schengen...
They give visa to old individuals who are in their 60s. As long as their citizen son works there.
Sorry to hear that, if u have any family ties they can sponsor you, for example my sister is german citizen she send us (“Aufenthaltstitel”), it is a family reunion permit, then for us we 0nly submit tickets and insurance and we get our Schengen within few days, try to get sponsor if you know anyone in Europe even a friend can sponsor you 😊 hope that helps
This is very disheartening. Why indians have to struggle for a schengen visa so hard? when our leaders claim that we become potentially a strong country in the world and we share good relation with europe then such rejection clearly indicates their false elitism.
at least tell us the name of the new continent which you are going to explore. i am sure that's going to be super excited.
Africa 😊
@@Radhika_Nomllers Be carefull as Afrika is no easy country. Bali indonesia dont need a visa, and a must to see place .
My visa was refused twice. After the first attempt for a tourist visa, my next attempt was through visiting visa. The saddest part is I had a sponsorship letter too. Schenegen Visas are getting too cumbersome these days.
My visa got rejected and in the refusal letter they said that we have not provided the reason for intended stay. We are reapplying and the thing is we have tickets booked for next month itself
I had my visa application for Sweden rejected on two occasions, first in November 2022 and then in April 2023. Despite providing ample documentation, such as proof of full-time employment, an invitation letter from my Swedish girlfriend, a substantial bank balance of approximately 6 lakhs, a confirmed return flight ticket, hotel and train reservations, a comprehensive cover letter, property documents, and details about my father's medical condition, which necessitates my return, my applications were declined for the same reason - a lack of confidence in my intention to depart from the country. It appears that the decision is made algorithmically, and they may reject applications when they receive too many. It ultimately comes down to luck.
What you have been through is a bitter reality. It happens often with Travellers from the third world.
Radhika -
What is your travel history, do you have at least 6-7 other visas stamped on your passport?
Your initial application was for 60 days in swiss, which means you would have needed to show at least € 100 a day as it's a very expensive country = 6000 euros for your trip. Which means you would need to show an itr of at least 4x of that.
Other than above 2 factors, its your covering letter which you say was very strong. It's a tedious process, disappointing.. you can visit serbia meanwhile, it's 30 days visa free, and it's in eur!
I had 15 visa stamps including Italy and Japan. And had 10x of that amount in my bank balance. They just said my purpose of visit is not clear.
Unmarried girl problems maybe
This is the first time I have made such a simple, sit and talk video. But I thought it was important to talk about this experience. What do you guys think? Was this experience fair?
🥲🥲🥲
Thankyou for sharing. This really helps🙏
Thank you for sharing this ! Very informative. It may seem simple to you but these are important pieces of information 😀
Bad luck Radhika. One of my friends got a visa through the French embassy last September and completed his trip successfully. Coming to your next trip I am guessing Antarctica it might be. I wish they would invite you to visit in the near future.
I hope you get a smooth process for Antarctica ;)
Medam!!
Switzerland visa apply Karne se pehle Aap kis Countries me travel kar chuke hai?
Hi Dear, same thing happened with me and my husband. Our Schengen visa got rejected twice. I watched your video and felt the pain. I think we should have taken help from travel agents instead of applying ourselves. I don't even have guts to apply for any other visa now 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Compare this with nirav modi, lalit modi and Mallya ....No problem for these guys .... Harassment is only for genuine travellers and honest simple people.
You will never blacklist due to rejection, so don't worry dear...
I'm a new subscriber to your channel... it's so amazing to hear you... I'm getting addicted to your videos. love u lots.. :)
Aww thankyouu 😄😄
I don't understand why your Visa got rejected. though you had all the required documents. I am afraid I may also lose my money and time. 🙄
What I can say is that France/Switzerland are always very strict, so try for other countries like Denmark/Spain etc. Start your trip from those countries then visit France/Switzerland in the same trip. You need to apply in the embassy where you will be spending the most amount of time, so spend more time in Denmark/Iceland, then you can apply in Danish embassy,
Also I have seen that for single women it is hard to get visas :|
But once you get Schengen or USA visa, then it will be much easier.
I had an Italy stamp and one of my female friends had a US stamp, both rejected
@@Radhika_Nomllers Wow, never thought some one can be rejected while having a US stamp. Hopefully you will get approved the next time :)
Danish embassy will delay your visa indefinitely even if u have all ur documents..never apply via Denmark .. I have travelled twice.. got Schengen visa from French and Swiss embassy within a week.. but Danish embassy will stamp ur visa late.. n probably won’t be able to travel..
Tourist visa plan should not exceed 10 days
Excellent video. this is very informative.
See whomsoever told it won't matter is not right, SIS system is used. So all your data is there but usually once rejected, getting approval from other is tough. Schengen visa is very typical. I had 4 rejections but now sitting on a 1 year visa. In case you need help. Let me know. I literally have gone through each and every Schengen visa rule.
Hi brother, Would you please help me? I have 2 rejected from Spain and Greece. I am single and solo travelers. I have traveled 7/8 countries. I am living in Qatar. Next which country will be better to apply. Thanks 🙏
I received my Schengen visa for Netherlands in two working days (February 2022)
Ohh First time mujhe koi Detail Video Achha Laga. Nice Video.. Please Aap Bataiye Aap Ke Passport Me France ya Switzerland ka Koi Rejection Ka Stamp Lagaya? Please Aap Reply Do
ssa dont worried, Be strong Be happy ❤ from 🇰🇷🇰🇷
Premium doesn't help at all. Me and my wife's Schengen Visa got rejected by France Embassy yesterday. We are both working, have travel history too, still got rejected for nothing.
I'll probably apply in a different country later. But you're right, our politicians should try to make our passport stronger.
Did you opted any package from your company ? Or you planned your trip by yourself?
How long it took to process the application?
@@tasteoflucknow3974 On my own
@@tusharf5 Around 3 weeks.
If the French embassy didnt ask you about your visa rejection by Swiss embassy then you shouldn't have told them by yourself that you had received a rejection from Swiss embassy just a week ago. You yourself gave them a reason to doubt
May be I can help you to get your europe visa, I'm visa consultant. It's better for everyone before apply major country visa, they should take visa consultation.
My lived in partner and I were visiting the Netherlands. He just resigned no job, no bank statements. I will be sponsoring our travel. Will that be ok even if he is not my blood-related family?
We have CTS of 2 properties both under our name and good travel history(just got home from Thailand). Please advice us how he will be able to pass. Thank you!
Try to get visa from less travelled / frequest countries. Switz, france are heavily travelled. try it from Hungary, Netherlands, Spain.
Netherlands is worst nowerdays rejecting visas without any reason mine got rejected twice after giving each and every details
So finally you got Visa or no, Are you Freelancer Social Influencer, Call me, I have travelled to Switzerland multiple times since 25 years
Never ever try to get a visa from Europe most richest countries. Always apply through eastern europe countries and then you can always change it once you get the visa.
@Radhika Nomllers
Me and my husband applied for tourist Schengen visa-Hungary, We got a call from Mumbai embassy stating that our Visa is refused and asked us to withdraw the application, Is it any kind of scam/fake call ?
Like I'm totally confused that if they want to reject our application, Why they're so concerned about this and called us specially just to mention the same and asking us to withdraw the application.
Just give gap of atleast 02 months, then reapply from Greece or Spain. An if 03rd time also somebody is rejected then also they dont balcklist that person.
My visa got rejected for the same reason 🤦🏻♀️
VFS global really sucks, that's why it has such a bad rating on google. I'm gonna be applying for my visa in a few months hopefully I'll get it as i will be getting an invitation letter by a friend, let's see fingers crossed.
Hi Radhika, I went to Vienna years ago....then Schengen Visa was very simple and that time I didn't think of rejection as I was just back from the States then. It is very sad thing to see your vlog of rejection...Did you show your last 3years ITR?
One for 2 years not 3.
Most important thing they check is your bank balance so that they can judge you are earning good in India and you can afford going there and also coming back to India after your trip and not gonna stay there longer for job etc on tourist visa
First of one should not have tried with the same embassy for a second time. Apply for some other country and later enter to Switzerland. My personal experience with BLS (Spain) was pretty good. First time they checked the documents and found the bank statement not updated (till 3 4 working days prior to appointment). They asked me to come back on the same day but unfortunately,it was a bank holiday so again took an appointment and this time it went through and got visa within 3 days. And the cost was little over 8K. Didn’t opt for sms because it’s redundant..u can track on the website but chose to click photo there because of size specifications.
But some people say if one country refuses visa then you shouldn't try applying from another country.
क्या जरूरत ही यूरोप जाने की ,अपने देश सबसे बढ़िया है घूमने के लिए दुनिया में कोई देश नहीं है भारत में सब कुछ हे
Mast joke maara re🤣🤣
I tell you, it wasn't your fault at all. Indian passport holder di world image poor aa .. our government should do something because it is very embarrassing
Premium Lounge is actually worth it
Today I got rejected from Austrian embassy very sad .I'm Philippines passport..only 3 days from my appointment got rejected after all stressed..
Very simple all they look is they need assurance that your returning back to your home country after the trip if they have any doubts they will reject even if you have all the financial backings.
I'm sorry that happened to you, but I don't think it had to do with discrimination. That's not to say it doesn't happened, but I think in your case it had to do with not having a clear itinerary. I thought once you get it the first time, it's good for like 10 years.
As an American, I often take for granted how fortunate I am to be able to travel to so many places Visa free. That being said, I didn't know yours was THAT complicated. I don't even bother with countries that make you show proof of booking, with no guarantee that you'll get the Visa.
I also don't think France would have granted it the first time either since your itinerary wasn't clear. How did you get the Italy one before?
I agree with another commenter. Next time, just do it through a tour agency. There's probably some way you can do that, then just travel around on your own. At least this way you're almost certainly guaranteed to get it approved. In the meantime, enjoy the other continent. I don't suppose you'll tell us what it is.
Passport privilege is actually a thing haha, wish the world for as free for the rest of us. I was in a corporate job when I visited Italy hence had strong roots to my country as per the Schengen Visa norms
Nevertheless I am going to Africa now :)
@@Radhika_Nomllers It is, but it has to with the country's reputation, especially when people end up staying illegally. But apparently it's not easy to get an Indian Visa either. They want your income and proof of employment.
Ah, I had a feeling it was Africa, though I am certain Antarctica and Oceania are less explored.😋
I got it Schengen visa in 4 days I think your documents and some financial must be clear they can’t stop you don’t make many documents everything must be in short
Swiss is not in Schengen and not in EU . ❤❤
My dear friend just stay positive...
But I have question, is it like Visa officers are Indians?
1:28 How can You book and pay a plane ticket without visa? The usual Vlooger without knowledge of the subject. ❤❤
Go with Greece 🇬🇷 always
