Will unemployment gap effect Visa or later

Question

After graduation I worked for a year and i am planning to take my visa interview after almost 9 - 10 months of my resignation so there will be a gap of 10 months after my resignation untill my visa interview.would this cause any problem during Visa interview?

Hi Pranava,

I understand that having a long gap after work can be a matter of concern but the risk of this becoming a factor for refusal of visa can be decreased through justifying the break.

The visa officer will definitely be willing to hear why there was a long gap and how you utilized it to better your profile. Usually students mention the various courses or voluntary work they did during this tenure. The visa officer will be willing to overlook such gaps if they can be justified.

I hope this helps!
