Sweden rejects lady's Schengen visa application
The young lady, @caramel_limaa, said she feels it might not have been her visa application that was reviewed or that she was mistaken for someone else because of the reasons stated in the refusal letter.
At the beginning of the clip, she explained that both she and her sister applied for the visa, but while her sister's Schengen visa application was approved, hers was rejected.
She said:
"My sister and I applied for the same Schengen visa, same itinerary, she got the visa, I got rejected."
"Let me read the reasons why they rejected me. Tell me why the reasons did not match my application."
Giving details of the reasons her visa was refused, according to the refusal letter, she said:
"First, they claimed that I booked an apartment instead of a hotel."
"Also, they said the apartment was in the countryside. My hotel was in Stockholm. As you may have already guessed, yes, it was Sweden."

Thirdly, she mentioned that the letter claimed she said she was going on a picnic, something she never included in her visa application.
"Also, they mentioned a picnic, saying that I said I was going to go on a picnic. Nowhere in my itinerary did I mention anything about a picnic, so I was so confused, like whose application did these people even review?"
After pointing out some of the reasons that led to the refusal of her Swedish Schengen visa application, she explained what she did next and asked viewers an important question.
Her statement in the TikTok video:
"I did send them an email just to point out the inconsistencies and set things straight. Overall, I think it was a really disappointing experience. Has anyone experienced this from Sweden?"
