What documents do I need for a tourist visa?
Standard requirements include: valid passport (6+ months validity, 2 blank pages), completed application form, recent passport-size photos (white background, matte finish), confirmed flight tickets, hotel bookings, bank statements (last 3-6 months), ITR for last 2-3 years, employment letter, and travel insurance. Specific requirements vary by country.
How recent should my bank statements be?
Most embassies require bank statements from the last 3-6 months. They look for consistent balance, regular income deposits, and sufficient funds for the trip (usually ₹1-3 lakh minimum depending on destination). Avoid sudden large deposits — they raise red flags.
What if I am self-employed or run a business?
Self-employed applicants need: GST registration, business PAN card, MSME/Shop Act licence, CA-certified profit & loss statement, business bank statements (6 months), and ITR for last 2-3 years. We help structure your documents to maximize approval chances.

What if I've never traveled internationally before?
First-time travelers can absolutely get visas. We recommend starting with easier countries like Thailand, Dubai, or Singapore to build travel history. For US/Schengen first applications, we focus on demonstrating strong ties to India through property, employment, and financial documents.
Can Sky Visa prepare my documents for me?
Yes, our document preparation service handles everything: form filling, document organization, translation coordination, cover letter writing, and final review before submission. This service significantly reduces rejection chances by ensuring nothing is missed.
What size and specifications should my visa photo be?
Specifications vary: Schengen 35x45mm, US 51x51mm (2x2 inches), UK 35x45mm, Canada 35x45mm. All require white/off-white background, matte finish (no glossy paper), neutral expression, no glasses, and taken within the last 3-6 months. Sky Visa offers professional visa photo services meeting any country's requirements.
Why do photos get rejected?
Common reasons: wrong size, glossy finish instead of matte, smiling/teeth visible, wearing glasses, shadows on face, hair covering ears/face, busy background, not recent (older than 6 months), or wrong head positioning. Use our professional photo service to avoid these issues.
What happens if my visa application is rejected?
If rejected, Sky Visa provides: detailed analysis of rejection reasons, free reapplication assistance with stronger documentation, guidance on addressing weak points, and support for appeals where applicable. Our 99.4% approval rate means rejections are rare, but we don't abandon clients if it happens.
What are the most common reasons for visa rejection?
Top reasons: insufficient financial proof, weak ties to India (no property/business/family), incomplete documents, inconsistent information across forms, applying for wrong visa type, no travel history, poorly written cover letter, and previous overstays or refusals not properly disclosed.
Will my previous visa rejection affect future applications?
Yes, but it's not a permanent block. Embassy databases track all applications. We help by: addressing previous rejection reasons in new application, providing additional supporting documents, writing strong cover letters explaining what's changed, and recommending the right timing for reapplication.
Can I get my visa fee refunded if rejected?
Embassy/consulate visa fees are NOT refundable, even for rejected applications. However, Sky Visa's service fees are partially refundable depending on the rejection cause and stage. Read our cancellation policy for details, or call +91 8827222177.

What is the difference between visa issuance date and travel date?
Visa issuance date is when the embassy approves your visa. Travel date can be on or after this date but BEFORE visa expiry. For example, if a 90-day Schengen visa is issued Jan 1, you can travel anytime between Jan 1 and the validity end date, staying max 90 days within any 180-day period.

Will my passport be returned during processing?

If you need your passport during processing for emergency travel, some countries allow temporary withdrawal — Sky Visa coordinates this.

What is required for PAN card and Aadhaar?
Most visa applications need PAN card copy (income proof) and Aadhaar (address proof). Both should be valid and matching the name on your passport. If names differ slightly, we may need additional affidavit for name correction.

Can I reapply immediately after visa rejection?
Yes, you can reapply immediately after rejection (no waiting period for most countries). However, reapplying without addressing rejection reasons leads to repeated rejections. Sky Visa analyzes rejection cause and helps strengthen the new application before submission. Recommended: wait at least 2-4 weeks to gather better documents.
Does a US visa rejection affect Schengen/UK/Canada visa?
Visa rejections in major countries (US, UK, Canada, Schengen) are NOT shared between embassies, but you must DECLARE all previous refusals on every new application. Hiding rejections is grounds for immediate refusal and possible bans. Sky Visa helps you declare and explain refusals professionally.
What is a 'soft rejection' vs 'hard rejection'?

If my Schengen visa is rejected, can I apply at a different country's embassy?
No, this is considered 'visa shopping' and is not allowed. Schengen embassies share rejection data through the VIS (Visa Information System). Reapply to the same country with stronger documentation, OR wait 6 months and apply with new circumstances.

Do I need separate visas for England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland?
England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are all part of the United Kingdom — one UK visa covers all of them. Republic of Ireland is SEPARATE and requires its own Ireland visa. Both UK and Ireland use VFS Global with similar processes.
