<!--StartFragment-->
When it comes to travelling, Americans have a luxury very few other nations get to enjoy. Many of the countries around the world do not require American travellers to obtain a visa to enter their country. Visas are travel documents issued by the immigration department of a country which allows a visitor to enter the country and stay for a certain period of time. There are various types of visas ranging from visitor/tourist to business to work and settlement and retirement. If you discover that the country you are travelling to requires a visa, the obvious next step is to submit an application but you must understand that visa applications are denied on a daily basis and are usually issues which could've been avoided if the applicant knew about certain pitfalls.
There a several areas of concern that will cause an immigration official from another country to deny your visa applications. Many of these issues can be rectified and result in your visa request being granted but first you must identify if you have a possible red flag situation.
1. DUI - Driving Under the Influence
Many countries have rules that ban foreigners with DUI on their records from entering the country until the incident has been handled in court. This issue arises frequently when students seeking to enter a foreign country like Brazil or the UKare denied a visa. For instance, the UK requires that all visa applicants submit their biometrics which are a digital fingerprint and photo which documents criminal records and other security information. The best way to counteract a DUI is to make sure that you have made your court appearance and have settled all matters before you apply for a visa or you run the risk of being denied entry into the country.
2. Insufficient Funds
For those individuals who are seeking student, work or settlement visas in foreign countries, one of the main reasons they are often denied entry is due to lack of sufficient funds. Several countries require proof of a minimum amount of money in your bank account for at least 30 days or more. In order to provide this information accurately, you will need to submit recent bank statements detailing your account history and balance. It is always important to remember to black out your account information on these bank records so as not to put yourself at risk for identity theft.
3. Lack of Supporting Documentation
Filling out the appropriate visa application is only the first step when it comes to getting a visa. All visa applications require supporting documentation which can run from basic requirements like a passport and a passport picture to more extensive documentation including; bank statements, college degrees and hotel reservations. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the documents that are required for you to obtain that particular visa. Many applications are denied because the applicant sent in a photo copy of their passport instead of the original or only sent in the completed application with no other information. This step is simple but is oftentimes missed causing the applicant time, money and stress.
The next time you prepare to apply for a visa to a foreign country, be sure to read the instructions carefully, follow directions and provide all information requested so you can avoid the infamous red denied stamp on your passport.
