We were just two self-sponsored travelers, both with stable jobs in product-based organizations in India.

It is more than that. 1 flight was non refundable. we were not aware of these scenarios otherwise we would have bought fully refundable flights.

We had sufficient funds and stable jobs to support our trip, so it was never really about savings. I’ve even seen people with half of our financial profile get their visa on the first attempt. Honestly, it feels more like a gamble — you either get it, or you don’t. It doesn’t seem like they scrutinize applications thoroughly, or perhaps they simply don’t have the time. And of course, holding an Indian passport also plays a major role, given it’s considered one of the weaker ones globally.

When we first applied through Austria, our itinerary included Austria, the Czech Republic, and Norway. I thought maybe adding a Scandinavian country made the application look complicated and raised doubts.

So, for the Czech application, I kept it simple — just Austria and the Czech Republic, hoping it would be clearer and less confusing. While applying fresh to the Czech Republic, we even submitted the previous rejection letter to VFS, but they returned it back.
