TLDR : Answer Summary
The waiting period before resubmitting a visa application after a rejection varies depending on the reason for the rejection. Some users reported being able to reapply immediately for minor issues, such as a name mismatch. In contrast, others noted that applying again from a different country may improve chances if the rejection was due to more significant issues. While some embassies provide reasons for rejection, many do not, making it essential to review the application thoroughly for errors.
If the issue was something simple like a name mismatch, incorrect photo, or missing documents, you can resubmit a new application right away, ideally after correcting the issue.
However, if there was no clear reason given or if you were previously asked for additional financial documents before the rejection, it's often best to apply again from another country (e.g. Vietnam, Indonesia, or the Philippines), where approval rates tend to be higher.
From what we've observed, second applications from the same country, especially without addressing major concerns.. have a much lower success rate.
I noticed it myself and emailed them, they said they cannot do changes to the application and told me to apply again. Also in the rejectiom email it said wrong name. The autoread biodata got me :( i had the name correct but saved and continued application later, so it read the data again and changed the name to wrong again :( my bad i didnt doublecheck everything again
Sometimes, very rarely, they tell you on rejection, especially on dumb mistakes like that

Anonymous participant 199 not so dumb as it sounds... when the app read my biodata from passport picture i noticed it got my last name wrong. I did the full app and saved it for later till i got the rest of the documents. After I continued the application, it had again read the data and replaced my correction with the wrong reading... i should have checked everything again, but i only did before i saved it for later.
so after you corrected it the first time, saved your application, then went back to finish it and submit it, it had changed it back to the wrong data it scanned from the MRZ line of your passport? ๐ฎ
you can submit again right away but it's better to wait and think clearly about the reason of rejection and not to use same embassy to apply again...unless the reason was obvious mistake to correct

Adnan Khairi do they email you with details on why it was rejected or do you have to figure that out?
most of the time they dont, you just have to go back on your application and read through your application and all the details you provided, remember just because you think application and documents are complete doesn't mean they are....also its not easy if the application is based on soft power because then it will be in the embassy hand to decide.....
