What to do if your Argentina visa is refused?
You have the ability to challenge this verdict. A standard form is given by the embassy of the Member State that chose to deny the visa in order to inform the applicant of the Argentina visa denial decision and the reasons for the refusal. People regularly ask us how we can “guarantee” the issuance of a visa. Because all final decisions are made by embassies, there is no way to obtain a 100 percent guarantee. All you can do is ensure that your application is as strong as possible. Please feel free to contact with us if your visa request was rejected.
