In this episode of ‘Trabaho, Visa atbp.’, Immigration Lawyer Reyvi Mariñas explains what your options are when your visa gets rejected.


Key Points
  • The common reason why a visitor visa application was refused is proving the applicant's intention to return to their origin country according to Immigration Lawyer Reyvi Mariñas.
  • In his opinion, applying for a new visitor visa is more practical than appealing since the process is long and tedious.
  • If ever an applicant will lodge a new visitor visa application, Mr Mariñas advised to provide supplemental evidence needed.
