Help! Mentioning refusals from other countries and self-employement

[usman314]

1. How to mention all refusals from other countries (all tourist visas) from other countries on study permit application? There is little space and refusals are many like from 7 different countries in the last 10 years and have a travel history of around 9-10 countries as well. It is is not possible to write every refusal with its date because there is very little space provided. Do I have to provide refusal letters as well?

What's the solution? With that much refusals do I still stand a chance for a study permit?

2. What proof do we have to provide if I mention self-employment in the study permit application? There is no much gap in my education. I completed my undergraduate in late 2019. I filed zero taxes because I started the business during my studies in 2018. Should I mention self-employment or leave it at all.

Is there any particular reason you've been given so many refusals? Certainly they can count against you.

@usman314 ,
Your first question doesn't have one definite answer, so l will advise you to summarize the refusal reasons as one but do not state each refusal date For instance, l was refused base on insufficient funds or fraudulent documentation. Alternatively, state only your current refusal reasons.

To your next question, besides the tax clearance certificate , you can provide certificate of company registration, certificate to commernce business , invoices issued or received, company bank statement etc.
Hope this helps .

All the best!

Write for part 1: I've been refused to some countries on various grounds while granted visas for others. Please refer to Letter of explanation for details.

After that, write a LoE and summarize your refusals and counter it with travel history of other countries so that it doesn't all look gloomy.

Most of the refusals are generic. The purpose of the visit is not justified / You will not come back.

1. So don't I have to mention all country names.?
2. I've got a business registratrion certificate and chamber membership. Would that be sufficient?

Thank you for your response.

Do I have to mention each refusal in LoE? Most of of my refusals are from schengen states. I made a mistake and applied one after one in a row which is the reason why I was refused many times. I was also refused from US (b1/b2) few years ago but later I got the visa which is still valid.

You can combine Schengen visas together but I will prefer to list them separately if they are not more than 2 or 3. You could reason it that you thought each state issues a different visa instead of Schengen that is why you applied multiple times (if that's the case). USA rejection separately but mention that you got it later on.

Unfortunately, there are 5 Schengen countries. So I guess I have to mention them as Schengen countries as one. I want to be honest in the application but at the same time I want them to have minimum effect on my application. I've got good academic profile, have property on the name, and married.
