Practical risk checks

Consistency strengthens a file

No consultant can guarantee approval. A careful review can, however, identify avoidable gaps before submission.

CHECK 01

Conflicting dates

Forms, bookings, leave and insurance should support the same travel window.

CHECK 02

Unclear purpose

The itinerary and supporting evidence should explain a credible, specific trip.

CHECK 03

Weak financial trail

Funds should be sufficient, explainable and consistent with the applicant’s profile.

CHECK 04

Missing return ties

Employment, business, family and other commitments may help establish reasons to return.
