Common rejection reasons

Common PH rejections: (1) Philippines NOT on Bangladesh VoA list — applicants attempting VoA at Dhaka may be denied despite ASEAN partnership; pre-arranged visa essential; (2) Missing stay address detail; (3) Inadequate sponsor docs (BD sponsor's NID + utility bill required); (4) Insufficient financial proof; (5) Tourist visa abused for unauthorized employment (Filipino workers in BD common concern); (6) Generally moderate processing — bilateral ties are friendly.
