Visa Remonstration Letter

Do you disagree with the rejection of your Visa?

An aggrieved person can remonstrate against the refusal of the visa application. One must get the request for consideration of the rejection, via a Remonstration letter in the required format at the German Mission/Embassy.

An applicant can submit the remonstration letter, which will be processed after the submission of written formal authorization along with the applicant's signature. If necessary, additional documents might need to be attached.

The deadline for the request of Remonstration is:

• One can make an application for remonstration of the refusal of Schengen Visa within one month of the receipt of the refusal letter.
