Schengen countries warn against fake documents with visa applications
Several European countries belonging to the Schengen visa accord have issued warnings to Bangladesh visa applicants that visa applications with fabricated and inauthentic documents will be straight away rejected. Several European Union member countries' embassies have informed that they often receive visa applications from Bangladeshi nationals in Dhaka who submit false papers showing mendacious academic qualifications and wrong financial status. These fabricated documents drastically reduce visa success rate and it makes it difficult for most of the visa applicants to secure visa to travel to Europe for higher studies or tourism.
For this reason the diplomatic missions located in Dhaka representing European countries have tightened their scrutiny of the documents submitted with visa applications. Applicants who ask for visa with counterfeit documents will face visa refusal definitely, these embassies have stated.
Reportedly most of the visa applicants from Bangladesh who intend to study in Europe tend to submit fabricated academic qualifications and bank statements which for the most part get detected by foreign embassies and these visa aspirants often have their visa applications declined.
