Lawsuit Against the Consulate: What to Do If Your National Visa Is Denied?
By: Antonio Villena
🔴 What to Do If Your Visa Is Denied?
👉 A visa denial can be frustrating, especially when clear explanations are not provided. In such cases, it’s essential to know your legal options. Should you file an appeal or go straight to court?
Administrative Appeal: You can submit an appeal to the same entity that denied the visa. However, this process can be lengthy and, in many cases, ineffective.
Contentious-Administrative Procedure: If urgency is a factor or the appeal is not feasible, going to court may be the best option. This process, which is legally prioritized, allows a judge to review your case.
In this situation, you must grant power of attorney to a lawyer in Spain who specializes in immigration matters. A lawsuit is then filed against the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is responsible for the consulates.
👉 From the initial evaluation to filing the lawsuit, every step is crucial to ensuring a favorable outcome.
