Man explains why many visa applications get refused
According to the man identified on TikTok as @jibrils_life, while documents such as hotel reservations, school admission letters, flight bookings and invitation letters are important, they are not the only factors considered during the application process.
He claimed that one of the key areas visa officers pay close attention to is the consistency of an applicant's bank statement, particularly the pattern of inflows and outflows rather than the account balance alone.
The TikTok creator added that this, in his opinion, explains why some people with millions of naira in their accounts still have their visa applications refused.
He also stressed the importance of proving strong ties to one's home country, saying visa officers want to be satisfied that applicants intend to return after their trip.
Sharing further advice, the content creator said applicants should focus on establishing convincing home ties, whether they are applying for study or visitor visas.
According to him, demonstrating clear reasons to return to one's home country is one of the most important aspects of a successful visa application.
He concluded by saying that applicants who successfully establish strong home ties would improve their chances of visa approval.

"The thing the visa officer is trying to focus on is the consistency in your bank account statement. That's the inflow and the outflow. That's why you see people with a bank balance of 40 million naira and still get refused. The most important thing they focus on is the home tie. That's having something to your home country," he said.
