Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
If my visa application was denied, when can I apply again?
A general rule is 6 months after denial. However, it is advisable to wait until there are significant changes in your circumstances. For example, getting married, having a child, acquiring assets, receiving a job promotion, increasing your salary, traveling more with no record of overstaying, or obtaining visas from other countries. These factors can help strengthen your application.
When is the best time to apply for a tourist visa?
It is recommended to apply around 5-6 months before your planned travel date to allow sufficient processing time and increase your chances of securing cheaper flight tickets once your visa is approved.
