Bad luck Radhika. One of my friends got a visa through the French embassy last September and completed his trip successfully. Coming to your next trip I am guessing Antarctica it might be. I wish they would invite you to visit in the near future.

I`m really sorry your visa got denied, sometimes it`s like there is not a "straight line" to get your visa approved, yet you need to spend so much time.I`d advice you to just try again and not give up-All the best

[@-_.Kiki._-]

I'm so sad what happened to you, since being german I can't help you with recommendations on how to get a visa, but I recommend that you check out the non Schengen countries in Europe. Croatia and the non EU countries in the western balkans are great for summer and have some of the best beaches in Europe. Also Transsilvana in Romania and Turkey, Georgia and Armenia on the outskirts of Europe are great places to visit and much more affordable. I also recommend Israel, even though it's not in Europe and pretty expensive, but one of the best places to visit is the world. I'm planning my trip to India, that's why I found your video :)

[@Radhika_Nomllers]

Thank you for all the recommendations, I’ll look into these. Hope you have a great time in India 😊

[@AmitGupta-wt7jj]

Dear Annu Sia - Have watched some your vids-I liked it. As far as schengen visa goes, as i mentioned on a separate reply I know one takes these rejections personally. you either feel dejected that they did not see your case properly or that they reject single females or Indians or whatever. Instead I woukd suggest getting a good idea of why it happened. Please contact a tour operator (organized group tour people) who cater to Indians in Dubai (you are in same boat :) ). Some of them will offer visa services as well. If you talk to those guys and mention your particulars you will get more info on where/how to apply and if being single /female is an issue how to counter that with documents/data. Also fine details matter- duration/type/deductible of insurance, trip details/duration etc. All of these matter and a professional who does this day in out is better placed to improve your chances..hope that helps

[@joyfullypacinglife8847]

My suggestion is for you to put, "Tourism," as your purpose for the visit in any place in Europe. That is what I did. My interview, submission of documents, and biometrics took only 1 hour and 45 minutes. I received my French visa 7 days after my appointment at the VFS Global Center in San Francisco. Also, you should have a credit card to pay for your fees even though on their website it stated that you could pay in cash. Good luck on your next application!

[@firestick-4249]

Schengen visa should be taken from first port of entry in schengen or country where you have maximum stay .. Since you have 02 rejections advisable to wait for 6-8 months before you re apply .. When you re apply ensure that you have all hotel bookings, return tickets, make a day to day itinerary explaining places that you shall be visiting & your bank statement having ample funds to support your stay abroad.

You can be rejected any number of times but it doesn’t mean you will be blacklisted. You are banned only if you do anything illegal, have breached previous visa conditions or is a security risk. So you can keep applying without any worries.

As an Indian now living in Europe for over a decade, i find the process of European tourist visa extremely cumbersome, arbitrary, unnecessarily laborious and off-putting. As a potential tourist, you get so demotivated. Try through Spain or Portugal next time. Those countries are a bit more relaxed.

[@MrJitubisht]

Hi radhika, i have 2 Schengen visa on my passport and last year i applied through vfs france and i got the maximum no. of days which was 6 months with 90 days stay. What i have noticed the biggest problem in your case is your stay duration. You Shouldn’t have shown an itinerary of 2 months because spending 2 months in switzerland is nothing less than 5 to 7 lakh rupees and looks suspicious. Even if you have shown them only 10 days itinerary they would have given you minimum 30days stay. So next time plan a short itinerary without any ambiguity, you should be clear about your itinerary in cover letter with intra travel bookings. Like my itinerary was paris to bordeaux to toulouse to Paris and i have booked all the train tickets through omio app later after getting visa i cancelled them. So next time do take care of this point. All the best for your future travel .

Mine also got rejected. Can you tell me if they send the passport or we need to collect it personally

[@AMPhotography]

Sorry to hear… Some of my few cents; people normally stay in Switzerland for not more than 3 or 4 days max a week. Which is definitely a mistake as there are lots of amazing places to visit. But when they see long time in one country. They feel you are going for work. Specially when you don’t have an office job. Now if you get a local person to sponsor you; things are different. And yes normally German embassy is a bit easier to get tourist VISA as they get less applicants for tourism. However Germany is also the largest job market in EU; so there can be some confusion if they doubt that you are coming for work. Anyway better to put a well rounded iteanrry with several countries of EU for the VISA. Once you are in; there is no one checking. Sometime you wouldn’t even know that you reached another country!

[@mindfully_manali]

My friend is German citizen and his family is inviting me for a family program. I'm not employed yet, was a student and still taking a diploma course through a private organization. Now in this situation how should I apply? For the sponsorship which will be better, my dad or the German friend? Thank you so much...

[@AMPhotography]

@@mindfully_manali If you can get a sponsorship of your German friend; your VISA is very much guaranteed. I personally sponsored many people and never had any issue of VISA rejection. However; that sponsorship is a bit tricky. You need a letter confirming that he/she will take care of you when you are in Germany. And with the letter he/she has to include his passport and probably also bank statement to proof that he/she can take your responsibility financially. Now that is not something people would do unless he/she is pretty close to you! But if you can get such documents from a residence; you will have a guaranteed VISA.

[@mindfully_manali]

@@AMPhotography Thank you so much. Yes, he can attach these documents along the letter, that's not a problem. And should it be better to apply through any agency? Later when I'll apply if I ask you regarding the process, will it be okay?

[@AMPhotography]

@@mindfully_manali There is not really any additional advantage of going via agency. If you have right documentation; you will get the VISA by applying directly. Anyway you will have to go to VFS Global for the submission of the document. So should be all right!

My appointment for Ireland visa is on this 13th Feb 2023. However I am going their to meet my friend staying in ireland. She is sponsoring this. Now, while checking i realised that i selected wrong sub category i.e : Single entry "Tourist" visa instead of Single entry " Family or friend" visa. On Internet I cant find enough details on this mistake. VFS global is closed as it is saturday here in India. Also they say they will need 2 days to revert. Both visa's sub category SUPPLEMENTARY FORM IS different. Pls kindly help if you have any idea

[@arup4u24]

per my experience, tourist visa is little tricky.. when I had applied for B1 visa for USA back in 2013, a family of 4 was applying for the tourist visa, parents & the younger boy 11yr old got the visa but the elder daughter 17yr old got rejected, reason being a potential immigrant worker.. so you never know on what basis EU UK USA visa rejection happens, because hardly they share the clear reason.. but all the best to you, the world doesn't end here!

[@RELIENCE]

1) Same thing happened to me in France and Germany. Got rejecteted twice, lost 80K INR as I had everything booked assuming I will get visa. Why wouldnt I ? Eventually My fellow passenger had to go to europe all alone without me and I was heartbroken 2) Next Year applied in Netherlands through Tour operator, THANK GOD they called me for an interview and asked me why my Visa was rejected last year twice. I got a chance to tell my side and I got the VISA with them telling me ALWAYS APPLY FROM SAME COUNTRY AFTER REJECTION Learning 1) Spend extra money to go through tour company as they process thousand of application each day 2) Indian passport is shite. 3) ALWAYS APPLY FROM SAME COUNTRY AFTER REJECTION

[@amitparmar1497]

I am sure you must be knowing this but just sharing.. you should apply to that country embassy where you would be spending maximum number of nights or first port of entry & never say you are not sure where you will be going after this country. Embassy always needs a concrete plan for your itinerary and day wise schedule. once visa is obtained and your plan is changed due to some other reason, that is accepted and no one will ask but while appying visa, you need to give first day to last day plan with supporting hotel booking in that city/country/place. hope you get visa next time. :)

Although they will never put it in writing, you're clearly an immigration risk to them due to your unmarried status and lack of ties to India. - shown mostly through employment! It's a sad reality we Indians have to face. I would recommend going through an agent who knows how to prepare documents properly.

[@abhishekdey4691]

Oh, that is strange... Usually, it is not that tough... I got my US visa rejected for no reason but did not face it for Schengen...

[@gauravgrover7285]

Hello, my suggestion would be for you to do not rush for the Schengen visa and take some time at least 8 to 12 months for reapplying because as per my past experience my visa was rejected either by the Italian embassy giving me the same reason like your ( purpose of visit is not clear) but I kept patience and re-applied after 6 months with an ITR as well and this time they approved my visa and from then onwards I have been receiving business visa specially within 2 days. Make sure you have the complete list of documents requested by the particular embassy in which you are applying. If your applying for tourist visa then apply in Spain embassy only when there is tourism season. I am sure you will definitely get your visa. Hope this info will help you.

[@Dhillon.academy]

[@mehakkaur9328]

So I applied for Schengen visa last august,worst time I could’ve as covid was still on and mine was a fresh passport so I almost entered a rejection without knowing I’m walking into it. A few things I gathered is,you never know with embassies,it’s literally a lot based on luck. That time i was told the person who was inviting me apparently had to get a town hall letter from france govt and an invitation wasn’t valid,it was literally the most stupid thing I had heard. Anyhow,I am never applying via france embassy again,I found it very unreliable and literally no reason for rejection,in that same time,they rejected so many visas of people,it was like they didn’t want tourists at all. God knows why they did it.

[@cassy5511]

Hi, I came across your comment and thought I would share this. There are services online where you can pay for them to book flight ticket and hotel, but its only like a ‘dummy booking’. Once your visa is approved/rejected, they will cancel the reservations for you. (And you can then proceed to buy actualu tickets and hotel once visa is approved) Always go for a trusted company to do that, where you can actually search your booking number at the real flight/hotel website. For us individuals to find a booking that are with free cancellation within 2-3 weeks (while the visa is processing bar no delay) , it will be quite hard so always go for this type of services. Local tour agent can also do this, but I heard they can only reserve for a few days instead of weeks, but you can ask your local agent :)

[@HimanshuSinghSpain]

There are 3 options 1. Buy refundable tickets from MakeMyTrip. They would charge 5-10% on cancellation. 2. Book flights tickets from Emirates website and select option for pay at counter. You'll get the confirmed tickets but it's only valid for 72 hours but it will still work. (Book night before your visa appointment) 3. Dummy tickets (never tried but it works as visa office just need to know your travel plans)

First of one should not have tried with the same embassy for a second time. Apply for some other country and later enter to Switzerland. My personal experience with BLS (Spain) was pretty good. First time they checked the documents and found the bank statement not updated (till 3 4 working days prior to appointment). They asked me to come back on the same day but unfortunately,it was a bank holiday so again took an appointment and this time it went through and got visa within 3 days. And the cost was little over 8K. Didn’t opt for sms because it’s redundant..u can track on the website but chose to click photo there because of size specifications.

Having travelled to 55 countries on Indian passport including multiple visits to Schengen area, I think it's time we admit and realize that Indain ordinary passport holders are the most "beaurocratically abused" group of travelers. While we claim India is a super power, it's time to check and ask ourselves the reality (you are one amoung million who get rejected with no proper reason) but only because India govt doesn't push the travel rights of citizens.

I have always felt.. “ if we had a stronger passport this discrimination would not be there”Nowadays not even getting appointments at VFS at required dates.. and even if we submit all our documents, u sometimes get ur visa stamped late n will loose a lot of money on flight tickets.. what to do? Really frustrating!

[@thewestindianboy]

I feel the same after 20 years of travel. Indians are treated like shit abroad. India super power myth is for the bhakts to believe in. Go abroad with Indian passport and they will pull you aside for questioning.

[@sal78sal]

How can India push the EU about travel rights? travellers dont have a right to visit any country. Only if they are given the privilege.

[@sauravgupta7508]

What I think.... 2 month visa is very long visa in Europe and cost of stay will be above 10,000 usd or even more. May be your bank statement or ITR not strong. You should plan via Italy visa in place of France.

[@maninder1984]

If you know someone in the country that you want to visit and they can write an letter for you to attach with your application- addressed to embassy that they know you and will be responsible for you, can make things a lot easier. I understand that this might not be always possible.

In getting Nigerian grandmother to Australia we had airport transit visa to Amsterdam rejected. Changed air ticket to transit via Abu Dhabi. Lost $3000 AUD on first ticket. It seems to be a very racist process.

[@mickeysam9762]

So ur visa is for tourist purpose ????

[@HopOnWithDebarshiPoulamy]

What I can say is that France/Switzerland are always very strict, so try for other countries like Denmark/Spain etc. Start your trip from those countries then visit France/Switzerland in the same trip. You need to apply in the embassy where you will be spending the most amount of time, so spend more time in Denmark/Iceland, then you can apply in Danish embassy,

Most important thing is I think you don't have any immovable asset in India, if you had it you could have given allotment letter or registry of that asset, that can help maybe.

[@NidhiMohanKamalYoga]

Few things you can do in future ! Take the premium services it’s just 3-4K extra but it’s for a year and they treat you like royalty. Second, your bank statements are important so keep that strong but also show solid assets like your house / company anything like that registered in your name. One reason may be length of visa but literally your visa can be rejected for no reason at all.

[@Radhika_Nomllers]

Yea bank balance was strong probably they could not handle that I am a single woman with no registered company.

As per my Experience there is No need to take Appointment and walkin is better to avoid delays at every checks. I had applied for schengen visa last year through Sweden Embassy and got the visa within 15 Days only. At that time i was unable to take appointment via VFS Website as SLOT not available. But my travel dates are just 25 Days away and VFS customer care suggested me to visit with all docs as Walkin and it was a nice Experience for me.

[@travelwithbiker]

My Schengen visa was reject twice as well. What I learn was that you need to apply from the country where you are spending maximum days as per your itinerary. Also the bookings which you did should not be reserve flight but actual flights (cancellation wali you can select). There should not be any dummy booking of the hotels. Always provide everything in your cover letter with proofs like you did the second time. You applied within a week to a different country which doesn't work because of the same itinerary and flights where you are traveling to another country (Swiss) first. And very important point, while applying all your passport should be there instead of recent one. I still can't believe how your visa got rejected where you have travelled before 🤔🤔🤔

[@travelwithbiker]

100% you are going to Africa I think in Kenya & Tanzania for sure.

[@Radhika_Nomllers]

Hehehe let that be a secret 😋 As far as I know giving dummy flights (reserved with valid PNR) is okay. Many friends have taken this route and they got the visa

[@ujjwalkishore2040]

Dummy bookings work (for flights & hotels). Applied through Greece back in Feb 2020, got a Visa then, applied 2 weeks back through France, got my Visa again in 3 working days. I guess the itinerary is the main thing. I had mine prepared in a very detailed way, including the places and even the monuments that I was going to visit on a daily basis. But you never know, when you have a bad day, things can go wrong irrespective!

[@sayanibasu729]

@@Radhika_Nomllers I don't think dummy is a good option.

Visa requirements do not mandate a confirmed flight ticket. So yes, an itinerary is enough. Why would anyone book a flight ticket only for the visa to be rejected later and face a huge loss
