1. Appealing from a Visa rejection.

The Polish Consul can reject a visa application, below is the list of the most common refusal basis, when the applicant:

  • does not have valid travel document;
  • is listed in a registry of people which stay in Poland is undesirable;
  • is listed in the Schengen Information System concerning persons who may be denied entry to the Schengen Area;
  • has provided false or misleading information during the visa application process;
  • intention to leave the country is not determined;
  • does not have a valid medical insurance, covering the teritory of Poland;
  • provided not reliable information about the purpose of stay in Poland;
  • does not have sufficient funds to travel and stay in Poland, and after visa expiration to leave to home country.

The refusal decision issued by the Consul can be re-examined. The application for reconsideration shall be submitted within 14 days from the date of delivery of the decision on refusal to issue a visa. It’s very important to prepare exact allegations, why the Consul’s decision was incorrect. I strongly advise to ask a certified advocate for legal help in preparing application for reconsideration of Consul’s decision. 

2. Appealing from TRP decision.

Appropriate voivode can refuse to issue a residence card. The foreigner can appeal against this decision to Chief of the Office for Foreigners in Warsaw, through the voivode who issued the decision. Written appeals should be submitted within 14 days from the date of receipt of the decision. It’s very important to prepare exact allegations, why the Voivode’s decision was incorrect. I strongly advise to ask a certified advocate for legal help in preparing application for reconsideration of Voivode’s decision. 

Chief of the Office for Foreigners in Warsaw can accept with the apeal or refuse the appeal. A foreigner may challenge the decision of the Chief of the Office for Foreigners to the administrative court within 30 days from the date of receipt of the decision. It’s very important to prepare exact allegations, why the Chief’s of the Office for Foreigners decision was incorrect. I strongly advise to ask a certified advocate for legal help in preparing application for reconsideration of Chief’s of the Office for Foreigners decision.
