Question 9

How can MMT help me to strengthen my visa application?

Accepted Answer

MMT assists applicants in preparing their visa applications according to the checklist. We also analyse visa rejection cases to identify key issues & provide guidance on how to improve the applications.

Some tips to strengthen your visa application:

Cover Letter: Avoid using a standard draft or template for the cover letter. Personalise your cover letter with details of current status (e.g., employee, entrepreneur, housewife/househusband, student), the purpose of travel, and who will cover the expenses during the trip.

Sponsored Visas: Visas can be sponsored by immediate family members. In these cases, applicants require a sponsorship letter, the sponsor’s employment & financial details, and the applicant’s personal financial documents.

Avoid any bulk transactions (credit) in your account other than your regular income transaction. In case there is a bulk transfer, make sure to mention the reason for the same in your cover letter.

Kindly ensure that your income reconciles with the information shared in your Income Tax Returns.

Provide authentic details while filling out the visa application form.

Kindly note that MakeMyTrip will assist with the documentation, process etc. The decision to grant the visa and the duration of the visa is at the discretion of the UK Embassy.
