Schengen refusal formulae can be difficult to understand sometimes.    When an applicant receives a refusal with "Justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided", what does it mean?

I am an Indian national who recently cleared his PLAB1 examination and has booked to sit PLAB2 in UK (which can be given only in UK). Before applying for a visa, I would like to know about the how one can prove home ties. Of course, I have read about the Family, Job, Property being used as ties but...  I haven't worked since my graduation (two years now) as I wasted a lot of precious time on USMLE. After that IELTS and then PLAB1. So can't show job as tie.  I don't have any property in my name but my father does have residential plots and agricultural lands worth a few crores on his name.    Does an affidavit that I am his only son and heir to all that bla bla bla, serve the purpose?  I do have few life insurance policies in my name.  Can they be used as an indicator of some kind of active Indian society member thingy?  I am unmarried but do intend to show my parents as family ties.   I did my medical studies in China (6-7 years). I have also traveled to a few countries like Russia, Thailand, Philippines, HK, Macau etc etc (though not a single Western country).    Can that be used in my favour in home ties that I have always obeyed country's laws and returned to India upon completion of the purpose of the trip?

I'm a Philippine passport holder.  I have applied recently for a Schengen and UK visa and was approved.  Unfortunately before my travel dates came my UAE residence needs to be cancelled as I was terminated.    Can I still travel to Europe since I have a visa with them and be back to UAE on a visit visa.  Will all these be possible to do?

I applied for the UK tourism visa.  I mentioned that I was going to travel only for 2 weeks. However I got rejected because I didn't mention in the application, that I was working, nor mentioned that my dad has a job also.  Although I gave them my dad's bank statement, they were worried that I might go to the UK and not come back, because I might not have enough funds to return to Egypt which is not true.  My mum wrote my application and she didn't know that she was supposed to put my dad's job or mine as well, or whether I stayed with my family or alone. I suspect that's the reason why the visa application got rejected.  I want to apply again for the visa because I want to visit my cousin - she lives there, plus I need to go on a vacation. I want to know whether it's possible for me to apply again for the visa now, or do I have to wait for another six months to reapply?

I got two mails from the UK embassy in Abu, saying your visa application has been concluded. I'm really confused, did I get the visa or not? What could the possible results be?

Is it the airport security at the country you flying from? I highly doubt it because I have been to countries where it's so corrupted that you buy the airport officials for the price of a dinner.   Is it the aircrew' responsibility? Again I don't think they care much - unless there is severe punishments - in corrupted third world countries.   I have been personally in a situation when an officer at a certain airport insisted on examining my British passport before he allowed me to move to the gate because I refused to slip him a $100 note. I was travelling to the UK yet I have another passport which is valid and it is issued by the country I was flying from, which means he had no reason whatsoever - nor I think he cared - to examine my British passport to check if it's valid.  Edit to summarize it, I want to expose as little as possible of information about my dual nationality. For that I need to know whom I am obligated to show my passport(s)

If one is refused entry to UK for bringing more tobacco than is allowed, does he have a right to reapply for a visa? Would he be granted another visa? There is no cancelled stamp on the visa used to travel there and the person returned to India on his own ticket.

Applying for Standard Visitor Visa from Russia while being Russian.  In case I have children and wife, I apply the marriage certificate and children birth certificates with the rest of documents.   Is that the evidence of family members remaining in your home country whilst you travel?  If it is not please let me know what kind of document it might be? I have not managed to find an answer to that question. Thank you in advance!

My visa was rejected because I failed to provide bank statements. I'm a drop-out student and at present I don't work and I don't study, so I don't have any account balance.  I've mentioned in my application that I'm supported by my father.  I'm visiting the UK to visit my friend for 5 days. I have provided my friend's invitation letter, visa, passport and bank statements. I have provided my hotel booking also.  I have provided my father's income tax return documents. But I failed to provide his bank statements. If I provide bank statements will I get an entry clearance?

I have applied recently for a general visitor visa to the UK to spend 10 days during Christmas with my British unmarried partner and it has been turned down.   The Entry Clearance Officer stated on his refusal notice the following:     I note that you have never previously travelled to the UK or any country with similar immigration requirements and you therefore do not have a history of travel and compliance to consider.      You have submitted an employment letter to confirm your occupation in KSA but I am required to also assess your personal, domestic and economic circumstances in determining whether you are genuine visitor travelling to the UK for the period and purpose you state.      You claim an income of SAR ........ per month which equal ........ GBP and from the evidence submitted this appears to be your sole source of income.   I note that this monthly income is reflected on your bank statements. However, the bank statement you have presented show a recent large deposit that are in excess of your stated income and inconsistent with the account history. You haven't provided evidence toward the origin of this recent deposit and in the absence of reasonable evidence I am not satisfied that these bank statements accurately reflect your personal circumstances.      In view of the above, I am not satisfied you have demonstrated that your circumstances are as you claim and therefore I am not satisfied that you're travelling to the UK for the period and purpose you stated. 41(i)and(ii).   Its true that I have deposited that sum of money right before I apply and it was a commission I received from work earlier this month.   So, could you please give me your advice on the above as I am planning to apply again soon. and how to avoid my application being refused again?

A friend of mine came from Australia on the WVP and stayed 92 days. I made a mistake booking Her flight scheduling a Saturday arrival/departure at DFW. This amounted to a 92 day stay and with no funds to rebook a low cost flight through Qantas it was necessary to leave on the scheduled flight.   Question # 1) Was a automatic I-94W submitted by the airlines? She had no customs forms to fill out upon departure.   Question #2) How does this effect another WVP being issued if applied for?

My visa got denied by the Greek embassy in Abu Dhabi for the reason below: the information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not reliable.  Does it make sense to appeal for this?  I have no idea why they denied my application while my friend got hers. We applied together and submitted the same documents, booked hotels and tickets. My purpose is a tour for 6 days.  Here are the documents I submitted:   Schengen visa application form (Greece) copy of my passport recently renewed valid from 16/05/2015 to 15/15/2017 copy of my UAE visa valid 2017/05/13 3.5 x4cm photo in white background RSA travel insurance with a coverage of Euro 30,000 from 02/10/2015 to 10/10/2015 6months NBD bank account statement with a nice balance (original with bank stamp) No-objection letter from my employee stating my position, salary, date of my recruitment.

I applied for a UK visitor's visa. My friend sent me an invite to spend a month with her with a letter stating she would would pay for my accommodation and food. She provided her salary slip, bank statement and a copy of her British passport. The exact wording from the refusal letter:   You have stated that you are employed by x company and earns 35000 INR (£350 at the Onada rate of exchange) per month of which you state that you spend 20000 INR (£200) on living costs leaving difference of 15000 INR (£150)per month.  You state that you have no investment income.  You state that the personal cost to you of the proposed visit is £500 and this amount is equal to about half what you have in your account or three months savings.  With brief intervals back in India you were in the UK from 1/09/09 until 14/08/14. You do not appear to have travelled elsewhere .   4.your bank statement shows a balance of 101135 INR (£1013) on 1/7 with additionvof your salary.  You state that your brother and your friend and sponsor ms. Y will pay £1500 towards the cost of your visit.  You have not provided any evidence regarding your brother's finance anr his willingness to provide you money for a holiday,  besides what i take to be his bank statement showing a balance of 16803 INR(£168) 1/7.  In view of the above,  i am not satisfied that yiu are a genuine visitor who: A.  Will leave the UK at tge end od the visit B.  Will noy live in the uk for extended periods through frequent or successive visits,  or make the UK your main home C.  Is Genuinely seeking entry for a purpose that is permitted by the visitors routes (these are listed i  appendices 3,4 and 5) D. Will not undertake any prohibited activities set un v 4.5- v 4.10   My intention is just to go there for a month, spend some time with my friends and meet the people I took care of while working in a care home there.  How do I prove that I will return?  I am working full time. I get paid well with bonuses and am paid by the company for a holiday once a year. Can anyone suggest what should I do and what sort of documents to submit if I reapply? Is there any chance if I reapply? I live with my parents. My father works in government service. Is it a good idea to buy  return flight?

I had applied for a PLAB (Doctors) Visa for the UK to appear in PLAB test. I got refused on the basis of two recent large deposits in the bank statement I provided (my mothers). In reality, these are my own savings which I had deposited in her account to make it more strong. The only objection I got was that I must provide evidence for the source of these deposits. Other than this, I have previously travelled to the UK and USA as well as other parts of the world and my travel history is fine. Can someone please advise on how to proceed and re-apply?
