When applying for a visa of any state, you need to keep in mind that the response of consular officers to your request may be negative. But don't despair. In most cases, a rejected person has the opportunity to reapply for a visa.
Instructions
Step 1
When receiving your passport, check with the consular officer for the reason for the refusal. In many cases, you have the right not to be given an explanation, but there are exceptions. A number of countries belonging to the Schengen area, for example, France, have adopted a law that people who wish to obtain a tourist visa can find out the reason for a particular decision of the consulate. If you can find out why you were refused, it will be easier for you to solve the problem with documents.
Step 2
Also get information about the time frame for making a repeat visa request. Some states declare a "moratorium" on issuing a visa to a person with a refusal for some time.
Step 3
Re-prepare a complete package of documents. Make sure that all the papers required by the consulate are available. Be sure to provide the required certified translations into the language of the destination country.
Step 4
If you are refused a second time, then try to meet with the consul. You can agree on it by calling the official telephone number of the country's representative office. But the decision on whether to accept you remains with the consular officer.
Step 5
In many countries, it is possible to file a complaint about the actions of a consulate in a particular country. This usually happens through the Foreign Office. Go to the website of the ministry of the country where you want to go and find information about whether a foreign citizen who is not given a visa can apply there. But keep in mind that it usually takes a long time to resolve such complaints and rarely ends up with a positive decision.
Step 6
If you have been denied a tourist visa to one of the Schengen countries, you can apply to the consulate of another country. At the same time, you should take into account that the chance of obtaining a visa in a passport with a mark of the refusal of another state is minimal. Therefore, the only way out in this case is to replace the passport.
