Will being debtor to a German company affect my issuance of Schengen tourist visa?
I run a proprietorship company in India. In 2016, we tried to participate in an American exhibition which was conducted by a German company. We paid 2 lakhs rupees as advance to participate in the exhibition; we agreed to pay the balance 2 lakhs rupees 1 week before the exhibition. Unfortunately, my US visa was refused twice by the American consulate in Chennai. So I initiated the cancellation process with the German company, which they refused to do because of late initiation. Now, they are asking for the money through an Indian debt collection company. They're saying that, if we owe any money to any European company, our visa may get refused because of that reason. Is that true?
Best Answer
It's not likely that a unpaid debt, now in collections, would be the sole reason for a visa refusal. However, rather than asking strangers on the internet, you might want to engage an attorney for legal guidance.
