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:

Schengen Visa

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

National Visa

• One may request a further examination of the visa application within one month/one year, based on
  the time frame stated on the refusal of Visa Application.

Please Note: The Embassy will not consider Remonstration letters sent in email, mails or fax.

Contents of the
Remonstration Letter must include:

• Full name
• Place and Date of Birth
• Passport number
• Date of the initial refusal
• Application Number
  (as stated on the Application form or refusal letter?)
• Residential Address
• E-mail Address/ Fax Number
• Signature (In case the third person
  has requested reconsideration, his/her signature).

Why is a competent
Remonstration letter important?

• It is crucial to have a competent remonstration letter as remonstrations that don't meet the standards will be rejected. Apart from the above-listed requirements, there are certain documents which must be attached to the paper.
