What constitutes “strong ties” for purposes of obtaining a tourist visa?
Strong ties differ from country to country, city to city, individual to individual. Some examples of ties can be a job, a house, a family, a bank account in one’s home country. “Ties” are the various aspects of your life that bind you to your country of residence: your possessions, employment, social and family relationships. One would have to demonstrate strong ties to their home country so they are not seen as potential immigrants but simply as visiting tourist.
