What can I do if my Thai partner's visa application to Poland was refused by the Polish consulate?

for example.... plan a tourist trip to Rome/Italy, make some Hotel bookings (you could cancel), go to the Italian Embassy for Shengen Visa, as the Holyday is in Italy, so Italian Embassy will issue the visa. After you got the Visa you can travel all around Europe.

Ok. Let's start from that.. You are at UK. Divorced and applying a visa for thai to Poland. Correct so far?

And specially beCAUSE it's a bit confusing, you have to prepare carefully. Invitation letter with explaination of your situation and reasons she has to go back. Some kind of guarantee letter of your income and you give her a place to stay and financially support her. Phone number that the Embassy can reach you 24h. Photo's of you both. How older the better. Etc etc. I even then got the tip that she dresses properly going to the Embassy. I know many people here who got refused a Schengen visa and surely not only Polish Embassy. Many refusals happen that people are too quick without 110% preparation. And yes, as said here; main reason is proving she goes back.

@Russell ******

Usually with schengen (EU) visa, they don't specify the reason. Mostly it's because of a doubt of person not returning back home.

Getting a visa has nothing to do with being nice or asshole. They just want / need a reason for invitee to return home, after the planned visit is over.

@Greg ********

What ever the situation...the reason to return, is the most important thing. Also, usually there is no such thing as appeal against denied visa. The way is to apply again with better documentation and precise plan for visit. If still denied, one should practise common sense and ask if there might be some other issues, untold.
