Lack of transparency, lack of logic
There are dozens of reasons why you get rejected for a visa, but the most important thing is that some people fill out their applications in a very illogical and inaccurate way, leading to the Consulate having a big question mark about your visa application. My friend once applied for a visa to Europe, booked a round-trip ticket to France, but booked a hotel in the Netherlands first. It was the illogicality that caused him to get rejected.
Not knowing where I was going or what I was doing
I once witnessed a case when I applied for a visa to the Netherlands. A girl who looked very rich bought a tour to travel, and when she submitted her application, she was accompanied by a tour staff member. She calmly answered when the consular officer asked where she would go to the Netherlands: "I don't know, if I buy a tour, I just follow the guide." That was a big mistake. Whether you go on your own or with a tour, you still have to know the schedule of where you will go and what you will do there. If you can't answer, the consular officer will think you don't really have a purpose of traveling and can buy a tour to sneak over there.
Lack of finance
This is absolutely a prerequisite. Prove that you have enough money to cover your entire trip. For example, in Europe, you must have a minimum available balance – the amount of money you can spend – equal to 50 euros multiplied by the number of days you will stay. Of course, having more than that is better. However, do not leave too much money, because you may make the consulate question: “Why did this person bring so much money abroad, or did he want to stay there illegally?”
Want "a country to heaven"
You can't suddenly want to go to the US, Europe, or Japan when your passport is blank. At least prove that you like to travel and visit many different countries. Of course, if you can go to countries that are difficult to get a visa for, your profile will be more trustworthy. A suggestion for those with blank passports is to go to Hong Kong or Dubai - these two countries are very easy to get a visa for if you go on a tour, and having a visa sticker on them will create a lot more trust, because these two countries are both developed places.
Not understanding the interview process when applying
Don’t let ignorance cost you your ticket to your dream destination. Preparing for the interview process is important, it proves that you understand what you are going to do. Refer to some of the following questions and practice answering clearly and completely for the consular officer, you can be sure of safety.
- Where did you go and what did you do at each place? – Answer according to the schedule
- When you go to Japan, how will you travel between cities? - Answer with your own knowledge and research, in this example, answer using JR Pass to travel.
- What are your entry and exit dates from the country you are going to? – Answer according to your flight ticket
- What is your current job? How much do you earn? – Answer according to your employment contract and describe your job in as much detail as possible.
- How many days will you stay in country X? – answer according to schedule
- How long have you worked at this company? – Answer according to employment contract
- Do you have any savings or assets? – Answer according to the documents you submit
Unable to prove the reason for travel
A sketchy itinerary, a hotel booking that doesn’t match your itinerary, or being confused during the interview are reasons enough for the consular officer to suspect that you’re not here for tourism purposes. Prove to them that you’re here for tourism purposes by having a lot of knowledge about the destination. Just search Google for information (for example, “Amsterdam Top Sights” and Google will give you a list of destinations) and you can “talk nonsense” about that place to the consular officer.
False profile
Do not make fake documents such as fake labor contracts, because the consulate will call the company to check. The consulate may even ask for your social insurance book, this only happens when you have a real job, they will pay social insurance for you. Do not book a hotel and then cancel immediately, the consulate can check, so you should keep the booking until you receive your visa.
Cannot prove that you will return to Vietnam
No ties (children, marriage) in Vietnam, no job, no savings, no house, no car. These things mean one thing: “you have no reason to return to Vietnam”. This statement will greatly affect you. Of course, you do not need to have all of the above factors, like me, I only have a job and a very small savings book.
