I submitted proof of employment and bank statements, but my monthly income isn’t very high compared to my travel costs. Has anyone been approved in a similar situation?
Logic check. It’s strictly an algorithm of risk assessment. If Current_Savings > Trip_Cost + Buffer, your debt-to-income ratio matters less for a short visit. Just ensure your bank statement doesn’t show sudden, unexplained inputs. Optimized code runs smooth; optimized finances (even with low income) should work if the logic holds up.
yes, approvals are still possible in such cases. Ideally, your monthly income and savings should be reasonable and consistent with your travel costs, but the embassy looks at your overall financial picture, not just one month’s income. If your bank balance, employment stability, and ability to support the trip are clear, many applicants have been approved even when their monthly income is not very high.
Yes, people get approved like this all the time.
