Short Term Tourist Visa Refusal [duplicate]

As my girlfriend who is a permanent resident of Germany invited me to come to her country for a short visit, I applied to the visa section in Kolkata. As I am a first time visitor to Germany I got all information and submitted the forms along with "Formal Obligation Letter" and as I am a self employed I did not need to submit employers certificate. To my utter surprise, my visa was refused stating that:

the information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and condition of the intended stay was not reliable

and

your intention to leave the territory of the Member States before the expiry of the visa could not be ascertained

Now in this situation what should I do when already 5 days passed that my visa was refused? Should I reapply stating my willingness to return back to my home country before the visa expire or should I submit any evidence to justify the two reasons? Please suggest after how many days is it better to reapply? Can I get my visa approved if I can produce my justification with a proof?

Best Answer

You generally need to show evidence of a return flight to gain entry. It happened to me before on a business trip and i ended up spending an extra $4000 on an open return.
