Inconsistent travel purpose vs visa category

Why this may lead to refusal

The stated purpose of travel must match the visa category. Applying for a tourist visa while describing activities that look like work or settlement undermines credibility.

What officers may look for

A mismatch between what you say you will do and the visa you apply for signals that the true purpose may be different.

Common mistakes

• •Mentioning business meetings on a tourism visa
• •Vague or changing itinerary explanations
• •Planning a very long stay for a short-purpose trip

Evidence / documents that may help

• •A clear, realistic day-by-day itinerary
• •Purpose statement that matches the visa category
• •Invitation or event details where relevant
