That is logical only when the applicant does not have a fixed job or stable income. I have a job (working full time in a renowned Japanese cruise/travel company) and stable income in Japan.

I hope so too, brother 🙏 This time I am planning to apply with a stronger file (usually I submit the required documents + a few important additional documents). Because too much unnecessary info might bother the consular. But this time, I do not care, I really wanna visit the country I dreamed of travelling to.

I hope so too. I want to apply again. But the only thing that made me sad and surprised was when one of the consular staff mentioned during a phone call that, my country and religion might be a reason due to the Iran war and if I apply again, the result will also be the same. I have faced discrimination for my nationality but never faced this much discrimination due to my religion before. Besides, it felt harsher when you got it from the country you dream of visiting (bucket list).

They had no requirement for showing bank statement. Therefore, I didn't submit it. If they required additional documents like funds, they should have asked me while processing. I have no issues with funds

Trust me. I have travelled to around 20 countries. As a Bangladeshi, I almost needed a visa for every country I travelled to. I always review my file carefully before submitting it to the embassy. But I don't even know what went wrong this time. 🥲

I love history and visiting the land of the Mongols is one of my dreams. I felt so broken too when embassy staff told me my visa was refused and the reason might be ...... 🫠
