I’ve had my share of many visa refusals.

I’m going to list down the mistakes I’ve made and heard of so hopefully others won’t make the same mistake.

1. Filling an Application – Sometimes, we take applications too lightly that we miss or forget a piece of information. Be completely thorough and recheck at least 3 times.

My Irish visa got refused because I listed 2 out of 3 visa refusals. It was an honest mistake but they didn’t accept my appeal.

2. Dummy Hotel Booking – Cancel the booking only after the visa application process is completed.

My UK application got refused due to canceling the booking whilst the visa was under process and many other reasons.

3. Numer of Entries – It’s the simplest yet might be overlooked.

I had completely forgotten to apply for multiple entries until I have exited the country I needed to return to. I ended having to waste time and money in a different country applying for a new visa.

4. Bank Statement – Avoid one-time big deposit without clarification. Deposit over time or ask the bank to specify the big deposit is from Personal Savings to avoid unclarified cash deposit.
