Why applications on this route get refused
Not enough proof of funds
The consulate asks for a bank statement showing a minimum balance to support your stay. Not meeting it can stop your application moving forward.
How to avoid it: Check the minimum balance your specific consulate asks for, and get a recent bank statement that clearly shows it.
Missing the return-commitment letter
A signed letter committing to return home after your course is one of the listed requirements for the student visa.
How to avoid it: Write and sign this letter before you submit your application, and make sure it's included in your document set.
Missing medical, yellow fever, or travel documents
The medical certificate, yellow fever certificate, accommodation proof, and round-trip flight reservation are all listed as required parts of the application.
How to avoid it: Gather all of these before you submit your documents, applications are sent physically, so a missing document means resubmitting.
