Common rejection reasons

Common Schengen rejections for Nepalese (rejection rate ~30-40%): (1) Insufficient funds (less than EUR 50/day); (2) Weak ties to Nepal — unmarried, no property, low salary; (3) Doubtful intent to return — Nepal seen as migration-prone; (4) Travel insurance not meeting EUR 30,000 coverage; (5) Travel via Delhi adds logistic complexity; (6) Previous Schengen overstay/refusal; (7) Inconsistent itinerary.
