Why applications on this route get refused
Your application fee is not refunded if you are rejected
The portal says an online application does not itself entitle you to a visa: the Authority can accept or reject your request, and the processing fee is kept by the administration even if the visa is denied.
How to avoid it: Check every document against the Long Term Visa requirements before you pay and submit, since a rejected application will not be refunded.
Employment contract not approved for foreign nationals
The employment-purpose document required for this visa is specifically a contract that has been duly approved by the authorities for foreign nationals, not just a signed offer letter.
How to avoid it: Confirm with your Guinean employer that your contract has gone through the required approval for hiring a foreign national before you apply.
