A visa application denial, also known as a visa rejection or visa refusal, is a formal decision made by a government authority, usually an embassy or consulate, to deny an individual's application for a visa to enter their country.
If your VFS Global visa application is denied, you have several options to consider:
Examine the rejection letter carefully: Examine the rejection letter carefully because it usually outlines the specific reasons for the denial.
Address the source of the rejection: If the rejection was caused by a missing document, you can provide it. If it was caused by an application error, you can correct the error and resubmit your application.
Contact the destination country's embassy or consulate: Contact the embassy or consulate of the country to which you are applying. They may provide additional insight into the rejection and suggest appropriate resolution steps.
Submit a new visa application: Once you've addressed the reason for the rejection, you can submit a new visa application.
Please keep in mind that these are general steps to take following a visa application rejection, and the exact process may differ depending on your specific circumstances and the country to which you are applying. For guidance, always refer to the details provided in the rejection letter.
