Why applications on this route get refused
Incomplete application
Incomplete applications, or ones that lack details, are summarily rejected.
How to avoid it: Check every document on the requirements list and fill in every field before you submit.
Mismatched personal details
A mismatch between the personal details on your documents leads to your application not being accepted.
How to avoid it: Make sure your name, date of birth and other details match exactly across your passport and every supporting document.
Application refused without a stated reason
Each application is judged on its own merits, and the Guyana mission processing it can ask for more information at any stage, or reject the application without giving a reason.
How to avoid it: Respond promptly and fully if the mission asks for more information, and make sure every document you provide is genuine and consistent.
