Why applications on this route get refused
Criminal record or medical certificate too old
The home-country criminal record certificate and the medical certificate must each be dated less than 3 months before you apply; older ones don't meet the rule.
How to avoid it: Request these certificates close to your application date rather than far in advance.
Repatriation bond not paid
The page lists a receipt for the repatriation bond payment as one of the required documents; not paying it means the application is incomplete.
How to avoid it: Check the current repatriation bond amount for your nationality and pay it before submitting your application.
