Denial of entry - declare or not declare?

Upvote:3

The way to think about it is like this. If you declare the refusal, then there is a small chance that you may be denied a visa. However if you fully explain the reasons, it's pretty unlikely. You are almost certainly not the first person to do this, and the country is probably well aware of the technicalities of a Pakistan visa. Your chances are good. And if they do deny you this time, the problem will still probably go away with time. Also you have behaved as an honest human being, if that's important to you.

However if you lie on your application form, that is highly likely to be considered deception, and that can attract long term bans from visiting a country, and possibly any countries they share information with. This can seriously impact your travel plans for a long time.

Take the route of low consequences and tell the truth.
