It often happens that tickets are bought for the trip, the hotel reservation is paid, and the Schengen visa is denied. Let's find out how it looks and why there can be a denial of a Schengen visa.
If you refuse to issue a Schengen visa, your documents will be stamped with the letters A, B, C, D and 1, 2, 3, 4. The letters in this case indicate the type of visa you requested. The figure 1 means the denial of the visa, the number 2 - the invitation for the interview, the number 3 - the documents must be reported, the number 4 - the denial in the Schengen visa is unlimited. The most common failure is C1 - a single refusal in a tourist visa. If you put a stamp C2, then it means that you need to go to the embassy for an additional interview to clarify personal data. Stamp C3 means that the embassy wants to receive additional documents from you. A stamp with a B sign denies a transit visa. A stamp with the letter A says that you did not come for an interview or did not provide the documents requested by the embassy. Stamps with any letters, but with the number 4 mean an indefinite refusal in the Schengen visa.
The reasons for denying a Schengen visa
A common reason for denying a Schengen visa is that you have provided a new passport. Therefore, if you have an old passport with visas - be sure to bring it along with a photocopy. And even the consulate employees may not be sure that you will return home after the trip, and not stay in another country. In this case, they request additional documents for your property, which you have - an apartment, a car, a house, etc. Much more willing to issue visas to married or married people.
Appeal for denial of a visa
Suddenly you were denied a visa and thought: what do you do now? And if you are in this situation, you can appeal the refusal of a visa. But before submitting it, you need to carefully check all the documents that you provided to the visa service. Very often incorrectly or incorrectly drafted documents and are the reason for refusing you a visa. Therefore, it is better to consult with specialists before
Appeal can be filed before the expiration of one year after the refusal to issue a visa was received. The appeal itself and the documents attached to it are sent by mail or dropped into a special mail box in the visa department. The appeal must necessarily contain your passport data, the date of refusal of the visa, your return address. To appeal, you must attach documents that confirm the reasons why you need to go to this country.
Therefore, if you were refused a Schengen visa - this is not a reason for despair. We must act and then everything will turn out.
