Receiving a Schengen visa refusal is disappointing—especially when the reason given is vague or difficult to understand. One of the most common and misunderstood refusal reasons is:
“The intention to leave the territory of the Member States before the expiry of the visa could not be ascertained.”

When your intention to stay is deemed “not reliable,” the consulate is concerned that you may not return to your home country after your trip. This doubt can arise from:
Weak employment or economic ties in your home country
Vague travel itinerary or missing accommodation bookings
Inconsistent or poorly prepared documents
Lack of proof of return travel
Suspicion that you may overstay or seek unauthorized work
Even honest applicants can face this issue if the documentation doesn’t clearly communicate a strong reason to return.

Here’s how you can address and resolve this concern in your next application:
Provide proof of strong ties to your home country (employment letter, school enrollment, family ties, property documents).
Submit a complete and consistent travel plan, including hotel bookings, day-to-day itinerary, and return flight confirmation.
Include a clear cover letter explaining your travel purpose, financial stability, and your strong intention to return.
Avoid conflicting or unclear documents that may raise doubts.
