Pay attention to these points when applying for a Schengen visa, or you will be refused a visa.

No matter what reason the visa officer refuses you, they are not wrong.

No matter how successful your previous audit is, the visa officer decides whether you finally pass or not. Although obviously unqualified materials may have been eliminated before reaching their links, they will personally review your materials, assess whether you are inclined to emigrate, and then make a decision. If the visa is refused in time without reason, you can only lodge a complaint and ask another visa officer to resubmit the application, but no one will admit to you that the visa officer is wrong and then directly change the result. The duty of visa officer gives him discretion, that is, the person who holds public office can make decisions according to his own judgment when exercising his functions and powers, and he does not follow a completely objective standard. It is difficult to judge whether the discretion is abused.

2. Don't reapply immediately after refusing the visa.

Generally, there will be a record after the visa is refused. If you apply again immediately, the success rate is very low. Visa officers trust their colleagues' judgment, and refusing a visa means that they have an immigration tendency. People who have a record of refusing visas, even if the materials submitted are perfect and exceed the level of most people, are still easy to refuse visas again. It would be much better if the interval between visas was long enough. For example, for American visas, there is no visa refusal stamp on the passport, only computer records. It is said that the information in the American embassy is cleared every two years, and it can't be found after two years. If you refuse to hand it over at once, it may alert the other party. Why do you have to come to our country?

Be sure to prove that you will come back again.

Maybe you have prepared all the materials, but you are still rejected. Because the visa officer first acquiesces that you may try to stay, you need to provide strong evidence to prove that you will come back and have no immigration tendency.

If you want to prove that you will definitely come back, the most powerful proof is the house, followed by the car, then the stable income certificate and good credit record. The monthly payroll is more convincing than the employment certificate, because experienced visa officers know that such certificates are easy to forge. Fixed assets and stable jobs are things that most people will not give up easily. With them, visa officers are more likely to believe that you will come back. Don't try to be unfriendly. Tell the visa officer the story that the old man needs to come back to take care of him. Dramatic reasons are more risky.

It is best not to mix tourist visa with business visa.

Some people use tourist visas to go abroad for convenience, such as visiting and studying. The biggest difference between a business visa and a tourist visa is that the business visa is guaranteed by Chinese and foreign chambers of commerce or large human resources institutions, and the convenience card issued by the embassy can make the chances of winning it extremely high. As long as you don't make a fuss about your work, you will generally not be investigated. However, European business trips for tourism purposes may be blacklisted by the EU Consulate once they are detected. It will definitely have an impact on future visa applications.

5. To go to landing visa countries, you need landing visa air tickets to match the destination.

There are two kinds of visas on arrival. One is that there is a note between the country and China. You can fly directly to China and get a visa when you enter the country. There are no more than 20 such landing visa destinations. Although most countries have opened landing visa, it has not been recognized by China Customs. If you want to go, you need a visa from a third country before the customs will allow you to leave the country. In addition, it should be noted that the customs will see if the final destination of your flight matches your visa. If you buy a plane ticket from Shanghai to Istanbul, Turkey, and then to Beirut, Lebanon, and you only have a Turkish visa, the customs may not release it. They will require that the destination on your plane ticket must be Turkey. Then you go to Turkey and find your own way to Lebanon.

6. You can travel with a group to developed countries.

If you don't have convincing proof of assets, your career is not stable enough, and you want to travel to developed countries, you might as well choose to join a group. Because it is easier to get a group tour visa with a travel agency guarantee. Regular travel agencies have records in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassy, and there is a deposit in the embassy. Generally, it is more than several million yuan. Of course, as a guarantor, travel agencies will also strictly control customers. Although it is also based on your own personal intuition, the judgment of compatriots will always be more accurate than that of foreign visa officers. Moreover, if tourists stay abroad and the travel agency makes compensation, the embassy will suspend the travel agency from signing the bill for 3 months to 1 year. If the circumstances are particularly bad, the punishment pressure of permanent suspension will be given, and the travel agency will also seriously consider it. After you get a visa for one or two countries through a group tour, it will be much easier to get a visa-free even if your assets and professional certificates are not good.

7. The success rate of visa application in tourist season is higher.

In order to improve the success rate, some people will choose to apply for tourist visas in the off-season. We habitually think that in the off-season, in order to attract customers, all walks of life will always relax some standards. For embassies and visa officers, the situation may be just the opposite. In the off-season, visa officers will check more carefully because they have enough time. In fact, in June of 5438+February, visas are often easier. First, because many people signed up, they didn't look carefully. Second, because the holiday is coming, visa officers will be particularly happy to have their own holidays and are more inclined to issue visas. The refusal rate will suddenly increase in February. The success of the visa depends on the mood of the visa officer, and there are cases where the interview has been successful but the materials have been withdrawn by the visa officer because of the slow submission.

8. When handling international tourist visas, it is necessary to find out the attitudes of countries towards tourists.

If you want to travel to many countries, you need to choose the country with the longest stay to apply for a Schengen visa. Choosing a visa country is very important. Because different countries have different attitudes towards tourists. Belgium, for example, has a visa refusal rate close to 70% and hates issuing visas. It doesn't refuse you to apply for a visa in other countries and then travel to Belgium. Even if you stay, it doesn't interfere too much, but it doesn't want to bear the responsibility of staying in Europe after issuing a visa. On the other hand, that country may be very concerned about whether you regard it as the most important destination. France welcomes tourists, but if you submit a visa application to France, but you say in your travel itinerary that you will stay in Italy for a longer time, the visa officer will be unhappy and may refuse the visa. If you want to get a visa for this kind of country, you'd better make sure that you stay in this country for the longest time.

9. Travel insurance is very important, not only for Schengen countries.

If you go to Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and other countries, you need to apply for a Schengen visa. When you apply for a Schengen visa, you will be forced to buy medical insurance. In Britain, insurance coverage is limited to any medical expenses and possible repatriation expenses.
