Home Affairs was not convinced the visit is temporary or that funds are genuinely available. Weak ties plus messy statements compound the refusal.
3-step re-application fix
Step 1
Show accessible funds for the itinerary
Match statement period and balances to trip length; include prepaid bookings where relevant.
Step 2
Improve document clarity
Format statements into a readable PDF with cover summary — avoid screenshots and cut-off Excel prints.
Step 3
Address genuine temporary entrant
Pair financial proof with employment/study ties. A short cover letter can reference both.
