Hi everyone!

I just got notified of a short-stay visa refusal for Greece, with the reason being that the purpose and conditions of my stay weren’t sufficiently justified. Yet I included in my application an explanatory letter, paid round-trip flight and hotel reservations, a paid ticket for my visits, and travel insurance—all matching the duration of my stay. I’m really puzzled by this decision and feel it’s unfair. Could anyone here shed some light on what might have gone wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Hi there,

Unfortunately, I don’t think we can help—you’ll need to ask the Greek consulate for the reasons behind this refusal.

Hi there, Was it a tourist visa? If you applied for less than 15 days, it’s often refused. You should have included proof that you either own property, have a job (with documentation), or mentioned if you have family, so they could consider your return to your home country, etc. (It’s not always required, but it’s better, and if you’d gone through a specialized agent, you might have had a better chance.)
