Visa Refusal Appeal
A refusal is not always the end — our partner lawyers respond formally.
Prices exclude 23% VAT, added at checkout where applicable.
If your visa or residence permit is refused, our partner lawyers draft and submit the formal appeal on your behalf. There are two stages: a Preliminary Hearing response (Audiência Prévia, €1,000) when you receive a notice of intent to refuse, and, if a final refusal is issued, a full Appeal (€1,500). This is a facilitation service — overturning a decision is not guaranteed.
Who this is for
- Applicants who received a notice of intent to refuse (Audiência Prévia)
- Applicants who received a final refusal of a visa or residence permit
- People who believe their refusal rests on an error or missing information

- Any documents or facts that answer the reasons given for the refusal
What you receive

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the two stages?
The Preliminary Hearing (Audiência Prévia, €1,000) is your response when the authorities notify you of an intent to refuse. If a final refusal is nonetheless issued, the full Appeal (€1,500) formally challenges that decision.
Will the appeal be successful?
We cannot guarantee it. This is a facilitation service — our partner lawyers argue the strongest case on the facts, but overturning a decision rests with the authorities.
How quickly should I contact you?
As soon as you receive the letter. Deadlines are short, so early contact gives the lawyers the time needed to prepare properly.
