A cousin of mine applied for a Dutch visa to attend Greentech expo in the netherlands and the visa was rejected on the grounds as shown in the attached letter. The applicant was traveling to participate in the conference as a passive participant meaning, they were not to conduct any exhibition or make presentations. They were just traveling to network, acquire 
knowledge and skills and to explore the latest agriculture technology. The following documents were submit in support of the application:
- Invitation letter ( Letter was computer generated though it specified who it had been issued to)
- Employment letter from company, specifying purpose of visit
- Pay slips and 3 month bank statement
- House rental agreement
- Birth and marriage certificates
- Other proof of employment and personal business
See attached copy of the refusal
