Top Reasons for Philippines Visa Refusal (and How goFLY Prevents Them)
Based on our 10+ years of Philippines visa processing, here are the most common refusal triggers:
Embassy wants stable 6-month bank balance matching your claimed travel budget. Sudden large deposits pre-application = #1 refusal trigger. goFLY reviews statements 3–4 weeks before submission to identify and resolve issues.
Purpose, hotel bookings, flight itinerary, and daily plan must align. Mismatched dates or vague itineraries signal tourism-claim-masking-other-purposes.
Embassy needs evidence you'll return: stable employment with NOC, property ownership, business ownership, family dependents, or ongoing education. We compile your ties-to-Bangladesh evidence into a credible cover letter.
Undisclosed previous visa refusals or overstays on prior Philippines visits are serious red flags. Always disclose honestly, we help frame the context properly.
Employer letter without proper letterhead, missing TIN certificate, or self-employment without trade license. goFLY helps format all employment evidence to consular standards.
