  • Unclear purpose of visit: If the reason for your visit isn’t clarified or adequately justified, your application may be declined.

  • Criminal record: A history of criminal activity can significantly affect the outcome of your visa application.

Alternatively, if you are dissatisfied with the decision, you can submit a written appeal within three weeks of receiving the notification.
