Request for a New Assessment of the Reasons for not Granting the Visa
If you have submitted an application for a visa for a stay longer than 90 days (a so-called long-term visa) and the visa was not granted, and if you believe that legal regulations were violated, you may submit a request for a new assessment of the reasons for not granting a long-term visa. You must submit the request in writing within 15 days from the date you were notified of not being granted the visa. If you decide to submit the request, it must be addressed to the authority that issued the information about the visa not being granted1.
If it was not possible to deliver the notification (information) on the reasons for not granting the visa to you, the period for submitting the request starts on the day following the expiry of 180 days from the date of submission of your visa application.
Submitting the request does not have a suspensive effect.
In your request, you must provide information clearly indicating who is submitting it and in what way there is a conflict with legal regulations, or an incorrect decision or procedure. The reason for the request cannot be facts that you failed to submit or mention in your visa application.
If the administrative authority with which you submitted the request for a new assessment decides not to revoke or amend its contested decision in a way that fully satisfies your request, it shall forward the request to the administrative authority competent to assess it.
The competent authority will inform you in writing of the result of the new assessment of the reasons for not granting the long-term visa within 30 days from the date of delivery of the request.
