🚫Have you been denied a visa to live in Spain without a clear explanation? ❌

💁This situation is more common than it seems. Many people receive a rejection with a generic reason marked with an “X” on a form, without any details or a chance to correct the issue. What few know is that this goes against Spanish regulations, which require consulates to offer the opportunity to fix mistakes before denying a visa.

Instead of filing an administrative appeal—which can take over 3 months without a response (only to often end up in court anyway)—the best strategy is to go directly to court.

▶Visa-related lawsuits against consulates are handled by the High Court of Justice of Madrid, an efficient body that typically resolves cases within a few months. And most importantly: in 90% of cases, when the applicant has even a minimal legal basis, the court rules in their favor.

👉Two key arguments that often win these cases:

☑ The reason for denial was not clearly explained

☑ No opportunity was given to correct or provide missing documents

At our office, experience shows this is the most effective way to reverse an unfair visa refusal.
