| Mar 19, 2017 at 17:56 | comment | added | gnasher729 | What's absolutely essential is that answer truthfully. "Were you denied entry and why?" - "Yes, I was denied entry twice in 2005, I was 16 at the time and I cannot remember why I was refused entry and didn't keep any documentation about it". That's truthful, and not suspicious, and won't be held against you. "I was never denied entry" will be found out, and then you have a problem. And reasons that were valid in 2005 to refuse you entry are very unlikely to be valid today. | |

| Feb 7, 2017 at 22:33 | comment | added | Elizabeth | I'm from the USA. My concern is that I'm not completely sure why I was refused. I know my visa was for not enough funds but I'm not 100% sure about my initial entry. I'm not saying I'm not going to disclose it I'm just paranoid that my not knowing why will be a major issue. Thank you for the answer. | |

You're supposed to answer the question about previous refusals truthfully regardless or risk being banned. You were a minor at the time and it's twelve years ago. Just make sure you have all the necessary information and documents to prove you will return to your home country and don't stress too much.Which country are you from? | |
