Italian Visa Refusal Appeal: Appeal Against The Unfair Visa Refusal In Italy

The main reasons why the visa for Italy is denied are the following:

- Submission of a false, counterfeit or altered passport.

Generally, the passport must have at least 2 free pages for the visa application, a deadline of at least three months longer than the one required by the visa and must not be false or in a poor state of use (non-legible personal data, internal pages unglued or torn, altered photo and damaged passport cover).

- Failure to justify the purpose and conditions of the intended stay.

- Failure to prove the availability of sufficient means of subsistence, both for the expected duration of the stay and for the return to the country of origin or residence, or for transit to a third country in which admission is guaranteed.

- 90 days stay already occurred within 180 days, on the territory of the member states belonging to the Schengen area.

Indeed, the maximum length of stay in the Schengen area for short-term visas is 90 days within a maximum period of one semester. Therefore, if you make 90 days with a single entry visa, you will need to wait for another 90 days to request a new visa.

- Presence of an alert for the purpose of non-admission into the Schengen area by one of the Member States (SIS report).

- The possibility that the applicant represents, for one or more Member States, a threat to the public order, the internal security, the public health or the international relations of Member States.

- Failure to demonstrate an adequate and valid medical insurance for Schengen visa, with a minimum coverage of 30,000 euros.

- Unreliability of the information provided to justify the purpose and conditions of the stay.

- Impossibility of verifying the intentions to leave the territory of the Member States before the expiry of the Schengen visa.

- False reservations for flights and hotels. It is not uncommon for the Schengen visa to be refused because hotels and flights have only been booked but not paid.

Also, the visa application can be rejected for the ascertainment of first degree convictions (art. 4, co. 3, TU Immigration).

The refusal provision must be sent directly by the consular or diplomatic authority to the interested party and must be drafted in a language that is understandable to him, or in the language indicated by him as preferable.
