Why applications on this route get refused
Weak or insufficient financial proof
Unclear or missing evidence of funds raises doubts about your ability to support the trip.
How to avoid it: Provide one clear, recent form of financial proof, a bank statement is usually simplest.
Incomplete documentation
Missing a required document is a common cause of delay or refusal at the port of entry.
How to avoid it: An e-Visa or visa-free entry is not a guarantee of admission, immigration officers at the port of entry still check these documents on arrival.
