Why applications on this route get refused

  • No Letter of Support from Ministry of Labour, Commerce & Industries

    The Employment Visa requires an MLCI Letter of Support; applying without it doesn't meet the requirement.

    How to avoid it: Have your employer obtain the MLCI Letter of Support before you submit your visa application.

  • Employment contract missing a repatriation clause

    For employment of 2 years or more, the contract must place the cost of repatriation on the employer, a contract without this clause doesn't meet the requirement.

    How to avoid it: Check with your employer that the contract includes the repatriation clause before applying.

  • Outdated medical report or police clearance

    The medical report and police clearance both have age limits (6 months and 3 months). Submitting older documents doesn't meet the requirement.

    How to avoid it: Get your medical exam and police clearance close to when you plan to submit your application.
