2. π Visa Application Form β Correct personal details, travel dates, purpose of visit, and consistency with your supporting documents.
3. πΈ Photographs β Whether the photos meet the required visa specifications.
4. ποΈ Travel Itinerary β Your planned destinations, dates, activities, and overall purpose of the trip.
5. βοΈ Flight Reservation β Proposed departure and return dates and whether they match your application and itinerary.
6. π¨ Accommodation Proof β Hotel booking or other accommodation details covering your intended stay.
7. π‘οΈ Travel Insurance β Validity and coverage, where insurance is required.
8. π° Financial Proof β Bank statements, income, savings, and other evidence showing that you can reasonably afford the trip.
9. πΌ Employment/Business Proof β Employment letter, approved leave, salary details, business registration, or other relevant professional documents.
10. π Proof of Strong Home-Country Ties β Family, employment, studies, property, or other circumstances supporting your intention to return after the trip.
