On February 20, 2025, I applied for an Estonian visa through VFS Global, and today, on February 28, 2025, I received my passport with a rejection. My visa was denied based on articles 10 and 11, stating that my travel purpose was not convincing.
This is completely unfair, as I provided all necessary documents, including a confirmed hotel reservation at Citybox Hotel Tallinn for March 20-30 and a Turkish Airlines round-trip flight ticket (departure on March 20, return on March 30).

We submitted a UK visa application on March 6, 2025, and received the passport back on March 21. But to our shock, the visa was not granted—and worse, there was no explanation whatsoever included in the returned documents. No rejection letter, no reason, no next steps. Just silence. How are we supp...

Since I, an EU citizen, would be accompanying her, the application was submitted under the stat...
