Common Rejection Factors

Most denials happen because of small errors. Typographical mistakes in the passport number are common. Using blurry photos or providing expired hotel bookings also leads to rejection. Ensure all information matches your passport exactly.

Managing Expired Permits

If your permit expires while you are in the country, you must act quickly. Visit the local immigration office to discuss an extension. Overstaying can lead to fines or being banned from future entry. Always plan your departure before the document lapses.

Double-check every field before submitting. Use a high-quality scanner for your documents. Ensure your email inbox has enough space to receive the confirmation. These steps reduce the chance of delays.
