Netherlands Visa rejected
My Netherlands short stay visa was rejected.
I am an Indian passport holder and my application was rejected with the following reasons
-
justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided
-
there are reasonable doubts as to the reliability, as the authenticity of supporting documents submitted
-
there are reasonable doubts as to your intention to leave the territory
I am guessing 3 flaws in my application
- I had sold some of my foreign assets 3 days prior to the appointment date -
(I had sold them as I needed to send some money home and also reinvest in gold in India)
-
The hotel booking was in my friend's name, although it said 2 beds and had a screenshot of me added as a fellow traveller in the website
-
Bank balance averaging about 1.5 lakhs
I had confirmed to and fro flight tickets, and all the rest of the documents
My salary is about 1.6 lakhs per month but my bank balance remains low as I invest about 60k per month
My investments are about 20 lakhs
Should I reapply in the beginning of April maintaining a balance of about 2.5 - 3 lakhs ( Jan, Feb and March) and explaining the sudden deposit and also make the hotel bookings in my name ?
Will this help or will the second application be useless.
My Visa was rejected on 27th Feb
Any help would be highly appreciated 😭🙏
