What is Schengen Visa?
- "A Schengen visa is like a special permission slip for visiting certain countries in Europe. It lets you stay there for a short time, like a vacation, but not more than 90 days at a time. If you have this visa from one country, you can visit any of the other countries in the Schengen area. But you need to ask for the visa from the country you'll spend the most time in. If you're going to a few Schengen countries and none of them are your main stop, you should get the visa from the country you'll go to first."

How to know if my Schengen Visa is rejected?
- If your Schengen visa application is rejected, you will receive an official notification from the consulate or embassy where you applied. This notification will state the reasons for the rejection. Common reasons for Schengen visa rejections may include:
1. Incomplete or incorrect documentation.
2. Insufficient proof of financial means to cover your stay.
3. Lack of a valid travel insurance policy.
4. Doubts about the purpose or intention of your trip.
5. Inadequate accommodation arrangements.
6. Previous immigration violations or overstays.
7. Unstable political or economic conditions in your home country.
8. Insufficient ties to your home country (e.g., employment, family, property). Upon receiving a rejection, carefully review the notification and address the mentioned issues before reapplying. If you're unsure about the reasons for your rejection, you can contact the consulate or embassy for clarification. Remember, each application is assessed individually, so a previous rejection doesn't necessarily mean future applications will also be rejected. Take the time to understand and rectify the issues mentioned in the rejection notice.
