Why applications on this route get refused

Missing or mismatched Nulla Osta
Without a copy of the Nulla Osta, or if the name, gender, or date of birth on it doesn't match your passport, the application is delayed or refused.
How to avoid it: Check the Nulla Osta details against your passport as soon as your employer receives it, and get any mismatch corrected before you apply.
Incomplete documentation
The embassy can ask for extra documents beyond this checklist, and missing or incomplete documents can result in the application being rejected.
How to avoid it: Bring every document on the checklist, and be ready to provide extra evidence of your qualification or experience if asked.
Passport doesn't meet validity or blank-page requirements
A passport without at least 3 months' validity beyond your visa's expiry, or without 2 blank visa pages, doesn't meet the requirement.
How to avoid it: Renew your passport before applying if it's close to expiring or doesn't have enough blank pages.
