If your visa application is not approved, please provide the relevant proof of refusal to the property at your earliest convenience.

They will do their best to hold your room, though this will depend on availability and their team’s discretion.  Responsibility: You’ll need to keep track of your visa status and keep them informed throughout the process to avoid any misunderstandings or unexpected charges.  Voluntary Visa Cancellation: If you choose to cancel your visa on your own, the usual cancellation policy will apply.  Visa Termination Due to Conduct: If your visa is terminated due to conduct or legal issues, you’ll remain responsible for any contractual charges, and the usual cancellation policy will apply.  Visa Cancellations During Your Stay: If your visa is cancelled or terminated after you’ve moved in, you must notify the property within 48 hours.
