    I’m not sure why the decision came as a surprise. Your earlier question describes a digital nomad lifestyle with few tangible ties to your latest country of residence.

  • The reason is what came most as a surprise and, to a lesser extent, the decision. I consulted with a lawyer who told me that having a one-year lease agreement, especially since I prepaid six months of rent, can constitute strong ties. Also having the business in Indonesia. They didn't tick "13 there are reasonable doubts as to your intention to leave the territory of the Member States before the expiry of the visa." From what I understand, that's the reason they tick when they think you don't have enough ties and thus are at risk of overstaying. That's where the confusion is coming from.

  • ’Can constitute strong ties’ doesn’t = definitely will. Why do you particularly want to do the padel camp, and why in Spain specifically? Is padel a big thing in Indonesia? Do you play frequently/belong to a club there?

    br88 - The onus here is on you to provide enough evidence to suggest you will not overstay. If the VO believes you do not have sufficient evidence then why would they accept your application?

    This question is re-opened as I could not see how the others voted, but I want to give it a second chance after the edits. The lack of the more usual rejection reason does make it different.
