If you fail to meet the requirements, your visa will be refused. The major reason could be due to:
- Providing illegitimate documents or outdated
- Applying for the wrong visa(schengen visa application)
- Purpose of travel
- Insufficient explanation for the circumstances of planned stay (most embassies have concern that you may want to stay longer than planned)
- Unable to prove your employment status (even if you have a solid bank statement)
- Questionable financial records
- You are considered an enemy of the state (you have been involved in some fraudulent activities in the past, …)
- Lack of confidence during the interview (anxiety, nervousness,…)
- Weak travel history
