Visa refusal in the past
My Husband and I want to apply for a tourist visa to Singapore in November 2016. However, we have a past visa rejection from France and Italy (last year in December). Will this affect our future visa application with Singapore?
Best Answer
You would probably not be refused, as I don't think Schengen states and Singapore share this information in the first place, and even if they do, if you provide the proper paperwork you should be fine.
Many countries do ask in their visa application forms whether you've ever been refused a visa in any country. If you're honest about it (which I recommend you to be), processing delays are not unlikely.
Whilst it is not likely that Singapore would catch you lying about a refusal for France (unless it's visible in the passport) if they do have some means of catching you, you're in much hotter water than if you had been honest.
Personally, I would apply, answer all questions truthfully, and be patient.

Does previous visa refusal affect future visa application?
Although every application has to be treated as a new application, a history of visa rejection can cause the issuing officer to spend a few extra minutes on your file. A visa refusal, however, it is not enough reason for the automatic refusal of the application.Can I apply for visa after refusal?
Yes, you can apply if you have detected a mistake in your visa application. However, a country's immigration department may ask you for the copy of your refusal to enter the country before giving you the permission to reapply. If the reasons for the visa refusal are satisfactory, you will be allowed to reapply.Which country rejects most visa?

Do embassies know about visa refusal in other countries?
As long as there is no visa rejection stamp on your passport none will know that another country has denied your visa. Except for Schengen countries as they use the same system and they will be able to pull you information. In the Western world all of the embassies are linked into common computer networks and systems.Don't Do This in Your Visa Application | Failure to Disclose Past Visa Refusal | #misrepresentation
