Why applications on this route get refused
False, incomplete, or misleading information
The President can deny or revoke a permit if you give false, incomplete, or misleading material information in your application.
How to avoid it: Make sure every answer and document in your application is accurate and complete.
Health grounds
Evidence of a serious communicable disease, a serious mental health condition, chronic alcoholism, or narcotic drug addiction is a ground for denying entry.
How to avoid it: Get the medical clearance the application asks for, and be ready to discuss any health condition honestly if asked.
Felony conviction or crimes of moral turpitude
A felony conviction, or conviction for a crime involving moral turpitude, is a ground the President can use to deny entry.
How to avoid it: Your police clearance certificate should reflect your actual record, don't try to hide a conviction.
Security, conduct, or 'not in the government's best interest' grounds
The President can deny entry for reasons such as advocating the overthrow of the government, treason, disclosing confidential government information without authorization, using a counterfeit or false permit, or simply deciding your entry would not be in the best interest of the FSM government.
How to avoid it: Only use genuine documents, and be truthful and straightforward in your application and any interview.
