We’ve been trying to review the application again for the mistake, but unfortunately, nothing has changed. The system only shows that the name is incorrect, but there is no information about a rejection status. However, we’ve decided to proceed with a new application.

From my personal experience applying for visas to Europe — both tourist and cohabitation visas via VFS for Germany and Belgium — they usually inform you of any mistakes or request additional documents without charging an extra fee. That’s why I was confused: if the visa hasn’t been officially rejected yet, why can’t we just correct the information?

After reading posts from others in this group, I now understand that we likely have to start the whole process again from the beginning.
