Keep every detail consistent

Names, dates, and passport numbers must match across every document. Inconsistencies are red flags and can delay or reject applications.

Show clear intent

Provide a precise reason for travel and a realistic itinerary. Avoid vague answers or plans that seem too open-ended.

Prove financial stability

Embassies want proof that you can cover your stay. A stable balance over time is stronger than a sudden deposit.

Respect timelines

Apply early and avoid rushing. Rushed applications often miss documents or include errors.

Use a pre-flight review

  • Double-check document legibility.
  • Confirm that your travel dates match your application.
  • Keep a full copy of what you submitted.
