Why Japan visa applications get rejected — and how we prevent it
The most common Chennai Japan-visa rejections come from three sources: itinerary inconsistency (dates don't match hotel bookings), unexplained large bank credits (looks like parked money), and unclear travel purpose.
Our consultants cross-check every date, every credit and every document reference before you submit — so what reaches the Consulate is a tight, coherent story.
