Visa rejected
 
Hi guys, can someone help me?

What documents i need to provide for the schengen visa to prove my rootedness?

I already submit complete requirements to the embassy but still it's rejected.

They think that i'm not going back here in Philippines.

Thank you in advance!

I can't help you with specifics, but usually they're looking for a short visit, with a return ticket, and hotel reservations. It helps to have a steady job or to be a student in a degree program. If you're young and single, and not tied down by any commitments in the Philppines, it's really hard to convince someone you have no idea of remaining in Europe.

Thank you! I'm working for 5 years and 6 months to the same company. Yes, i have complete documents such as return ticket, travel insurance and hotel reservations. For employment, i have COE, LOA(Leave of Absence) and Certificate of contract, Payslip,Savings account, Bank Statement, but still it's declined.

I don't know what else i can provide to prove that i will return to my home country. :(

I know lots of people have this problem. I don't think anyone here can help you. Maybe get married?

Have you had previous visa application rejected by Schengen countries or any other Western nations like US, Canada, Australia, UK etc?

What was the reason for the rejection?

<<

If your Schengen visa is rejected

In case you are denied from getting a visa, you will also receive a reason for this decision. Read this reason carefully! If you think you have been rejected by mistake, you can always appeal the decision.

On the other hand, if the decision has been taken justly, reapply by trying to avoid or correct the mistakes made in the previous application.>>

I don't know if you're told which element or elements are preventing approval of your application, but you should carefully and honestly consider every single thing mentioned on the above website.

If you choose to re-apply, you should be able to offer additional evidence. For example, if your passport is damaged or tattered, get a new one. If you have debt on your credit card, pay it off. Increase the coverage on your travel insurance. Different countries have calculated what is required to subsist, so you need to show you have enough cash for the number of days in the places you'll be visiting:
