Many people wonder: if they’ve already been granted a visa once, will it be easier to get approved the next time?

✅ The answer: Yes, it can be easier — but it’s not the main factor.
Having received a visa before shows that you’ve traveled responsibly and returned to your home country on time, which creates a good impression with the embassy.
However, officers will still assess your current documents and circumstances as the main criteria.

Important Documents to Prepare Each Time

Even if you’ve had a visa before, every new application should still include complete and updated documents such as:

• Proof of employment or occupation
• Financial documents and bank statements
• Travel insurance
• Invitation letter and sponsor’s documents (if visiting friends or family)
• Travel itinerary and hotel bookings (if applying for a tourist visa)

What You Should Be Careful About

❌ Do not deposit a large sum of money into your account shortly before applying for a visa —
especially if it’s not your own money.
Embassy officers can review your account history and may suspect you of inflating your balance to appear more financially stable, which could lead to a visa refusal.

Summary

Having received a visa before is definitely a positive sign, but it does not guarantee approval for your next application.
If your documents are incomplete or your financial records appear irregular, your visa could still be denied.
