I was recently refused for a Schengen visa despite having all my documents prepared. The refusal reason was:
"The information submitted regarding justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not reliable".
meanwhile, I have a job offer in Australia and I'm applying for 186 visa for Australia.
Is is mandatory to state that "my visa was refused" during the application? What happens if I don't?
I don't want to lie and declare that. What is the effect of this refusal? Can it end up in refusing my 186 visa?
