Key points at a glance
- Insufficient bank balance — Bank statements show balances or transaction patterns inconsistent with the declared trip cost.
- Weak ties to home country — No employment letter, property proof, or family ties suggesting a return to India.
- Inconsistent documents — Dates, addresses or amounts differ between flights, hotels, invitation and cover letter.
- Undisclosed prior refusal — Any past refusal — from any country — must be declared; concealment triggers automatic refusal.
- Generic or vague itinerary — No day-wise plan, no bookings, no clear purpose of visit.
- Missing sponsor documents — Where a host or sponsor is involved, invitation, ID and financial proof of the sponsor are missing.
- Non-compliant photo or biometrics — Photo does not meet the embassy's format or biometric enrolment failed at VFS.
