Schengen visa refusal - Big loss for Africans but ogbonge business for European nations

 Di data wey di candidate get no dey complete or no dey solid, dem subject candidates to measures wey stop dem to return or access di region of di have kontri, or di candidate present gamble or danger to public request, public security or general wellbeing for di have kontri.

Dis na only some of di motivations behind why European kontris dey deny numerous Africans visas go di Schengen region.

"Di experts for di consulates dey consider say e get a few applications wey no dey clear and enough proof no dey to legitimize di venture. Specialists dey deny dis kain applications as dem feel say di candidates not a really obvious explanation for why e wan go di have kontri", one department official for Dakar tell BBC Afrique on top telephone.

Purpose of dat, dem dey deny numerous African candidates Schengen visas, regardless of di bounty cash dem dey spend, to plan administrative work and to pay di visa expenses. Dem dey put all dia energy, all dia cash, so, everything mind di trust say dem go get di Schengen visa.

In any case, for di end, a large portion of dem dey frustrated as dem off limits get di visa and dem no even get di boldness to pursue.

"I container apply for Schengen visa for Belgium. I fill di structure online before I plan to go present my application. I give all di archives, give all di data about my excursion and my visit for there, and pay di expenses. However, for di end, dem decline to give me visa", Freeman Loga, one Beninese public wey dey live for Dakar tok.

Disappointment, acquiescence and even resentment na di sentiments wey dey drive dis candidates wey dey apply for Schengen visa. Becos dem no dey discount di visa charges.

Wen di candidates apply once more, dem go compensation for di process once more.

Afta dem reject im visa application, Baye Niass, one youthful understudy for Dakar, dey stunned wen dem tell am say di visa charges no dey refundable. Also, e no fit do anytin about am.

"Dem guess pass my record, however dem give me a few justifications for why dem no do am. Part of di reason na say di data wey I give to legitimize my states of stay no dey dependable or complete.

E shock me as I no tink say dem go give me dis reason, afta I wear do AVI and wear book inn, e guess pass. Tragically, dat no be di case.

"Be that as it may, wetin you need make I do? No be my folks get di office or di visa. I simply trust say next time I go get am," Loga add.

The vast majority of dis candidates wear won't pursue, as di chances of a good choice dey exceptionally thin.

Di monetary effect huge

As indicated by measurements wey Schengen News break down, African candidates dey lose 56 million euros, or 37 billion CFA francs, purpose of Schengen visa dismissals.

Dis sum address large monetary misfortune, particularly as visa charges no dey refundable. Aside from dat, dem put candidates in danger as dem wear gather dia individual information and no one know wetin dem dey later do mind am.

Schengen News measurements show say for 2023, African nationals get 704,000 negative reactions to dia visa applications. Dis number of dismissed visas address 41.3% of di aggregate sum wey di dismissed applications produce dis year.

Di travel services wey these candidates dey go to, dey humiliated by di circumstance, since dem dey do everytin conceivable to guarantee say di client, wey dey spend bounty cash dey fulfilled.

Muddled circumstance for travel planners

Dis travel services dey go incredible lengths to guarantee say dia potential voyagers get visa.

Alassane Diallo, Head of Safabhe Journeys, tok say in some cases, those wey dem decline visa dey meet all di conditions. "What's more, frequently, pipo no dey get inspiration to pursue, becos na just 1 or 2% likelihood of coming out on top dey," e tok

As per am, larger part of di candidates dey like to stand by a couple of months before dem attempt once more.

"Your expectation to comot di kontri neva dey laid out" na di most normal explanation dem dey decline to give visa application. Somewhere in the range of 70% and 80% of Schengen visa refusals dey in light of dis reason.

"In oda words, di department think say once pesin visa wear terminate, e mean say di pesin no wan re-visitation of Africa or Senegal once more. Becos, in dia view, di monetary reports dem present to help di application no dey persuading", Oga Diallo tok.

E concede say troubled candidates dey baffled, yet dat na di shortcoming of di department and no be dat of di travel services. E say dem dey do dia work well-a long time before dem send candidates to go submit dia applications.

Di expenses dey rely upon wetin di office concur mind di client. Overseer of Safabhe Journeys tok say im dey charge some pipo less dan di sum dem canister settle on. "Wen you assist a client with welling and dem dey fulfilled, dat na fruitful correspondence," e add, as e tok say visa application rate dey low.

European Association Eyewitness canister complete one review wey show say African and Asian kontris represent 90% of all expenses wey dey related mind declined Schengen visas.

Dis figure dey liable to rise becos di European Association measure to increment visa charges container come into force on 11 June 2024.

Under di new measure, Africans go now pay 90 euros, or 59,000 CFA francs, for grown-ups, and 45 euros, or 30,000 CFA francs, for kids wey dey somewhere in the range of 6 and 12 to get a Schengen visa. Dis think about mind di €80 for grown-ups and €40 for kids. Dis address an increment of 12.5%.

Major monetary test wey assume cause African states to arrange mind di Schengen kontris

Africans dey burn through bounty measure of cash on top Schengen visa applications, particularly mind di new expense dem discharge as of late.

Dis visa refusals, in spite of di tremendous cash dem dey spend, as a matter of some importance na strategic issue, as per global relations master, Mouhamad Maiga.

"Wen we tok about visas, we dey tok about something wey dey firmly connected to tact and di inside approaches of states. But say, e dey hard for di political arrangement of specific African or even Asian states to arrange mind dia partners for di Schengen region", Mouhamad Maiga make sense of.

E additionally tok about di specific movement strategy, e say awkwardness dey in comprehension of visa arrangements of specific African states, wey require make dem audit some relocation approaches on di African landmass. E add say states like Morocco need to deal with strategy of equilibrium and value in admittance to visas.

Di master in global relations bring up say e dey ludicrous to see say demonstrated absence of straightforwardness dey for di refusal techniques.

"Dis methodology fit be di topic of conversations and dealings between dis African states and di Schengen kontris, so dat dem fit accomplish something wey dey adjusted, e tok.

Mind respect to di information wey dis Schengen kontris dey gather, Oga Maiga call attention to say dem fit use dis information for some reason, in addition to di conciliatory administrations of di two gatherings (African kontris and Schengen kontris) assume talk about am.

"Becos na di information of African residents dem get. We no skill far dem fit use di information", e add.

For dis specific case, Mouhamad Maiga say, African expresses no even dey sufficiently able to carry out di guideline of commonality.

E demand say di frameworks no dey equivalent. African states get bounty disservices.
