After 2 rejections, I honestly felt hopeless… but today I finally collected my passport with an APPROVED France visa! 🎉
So I wanted to share my journey for anyone struggling with Schengen visa rejections — don’t lose hope 🙏
❌ First Attempt — Rejected
📅 Applied: 20 February
📬 Passport returned the next morning
❌ No call, no email, no verification
Reason:
“The information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not reliable.”
❌ Second Attempt — Rejected Again
📅 Applied: 11 March
📬 Passport returned quickly again
❌ Same rejection reason
❌ Again no communication at all
At this point, many travel agents were telling me:
“Wait 3–4 months before applying again.”
Some even scared me saying approval is almost impossible now.
But honestly… my first 2 rejections happened because I trusted agents too much. 😅
✅ Third Attempt — I Did Everything Myself
📅 Applied: 23 April
📦 Reached Embassy: 28 April
☎️ 12:37 PM — Got a call from the French Embassy!
The officer asked:
✔️ Where do you work?
✔️ Which company?
✔️ What is your job?
✔️ Since when are you working there?
✔️ Why do you want to visit France?
Call lasted around 1 minute only 😄
No extra documents requested at all ✅
📬 Passport dispatched same day
📩 Ready for collection message same evening
🎉 VISA APPROVED — Multiple Entry ✅🇫🇷
Biggest lesson from my experience:
✨ Don’t blindly depend on travel agents
✨ Make your own documents properly
✨ Keep your purpose genuine and clear
✨ And don’t be scared of reapplying quickly if your case is strong
Sometimes you understand your own case better than any agent.

If I can get approval after 2 rejections, anyone

Solo travel to france in June first week
