Application for visas or entry to a country are often contingent on not having been refused entry by any country at any point in the past. How does this affect someone who was refused entry to a country because the country closed its borders shortly before the traveler arrived there (such that the traveler did not know the border was closed)?
Best Answer
When asked state the reason as:
- Force majeure due to border closure during Coronavirus pandemic
This is an often used (and internationaly known) legal term that expresses that the situation was beyond your control.
Such an event should not be held against you.
