Cancellation of Deportation from Germany: How a Lawyer Reversed an EU Entry Ban for a Client with a Valid Polish Visa
Deportation from an EU country is a serious legal issue that may result in a ban on re-entry not only to the country of expulsion but across the entire Schengen area. This case concerns a Ukrainian citizen who held a valid Polish national visa (type D) and was legally staying in the EU but received a deportation order from German authorities due to an alleged overstay. Thanks to professional legal assistance, it was proven that the client's stay was lawful, and the deportation decision was officially canceled.
The lawyer conducted a detailed analysis of the client’s migration status, prepared an appeal addressed to German immigration authorities, and managed to cancel the deportation within a few weeks. As a result, the client regained the right to re-enter Germany, apply for a new visa, and resume his professional plans in the EU.
Key Challenges of the Case
- Existing deportation order issued by German immigration services
- Client’s personal data registered in the Schengen Information System (SIS)
- Need for cross-border legal argumentation between Polish and German authorities
- Incorrect calculation of Schengen days due to dual entry records
- Strict deadlines for submitting the appeal and collecting evidence
Stages of Legal Assistance
- Initial consultation and request for the deportation documentation
- Legal analysis based on the EU Visa Code and Schengen rules
- Preparation and submission of an official appeal with legal justification
- Communication with German authorities and verification of visa legitimacy
- Official receipt of the cancellation decision and removal from SIS

Outcomes Achieved
- Deportation ban to Germany lifted for the full two-year term
- Client’s data removed from the Schengen Information System
- Restored right to stay and travel within the Schengen area
- Opportunity to apply for a new visa or residence permit
- Administrative resolution achieved without going to court
Advantages of the Legal Approach
- Legal argumentation based on European migration law
- Understanding of legal interactions between EU member states
- Protection of client rights through administrative procedures
Appeals filed without court proceedings, within deadlines
Defense of third-country nationals within Schengen
Restoration of mobility and EU access rights
Question
Can deportation from Germany be appealed if the stay exceeded allowed limits?
Answer
Yes. If it is proven that the client held a valid visa or had a legal basis to remain in the EU, deportation can be reversed through an administrative appeal.
Question
How long does it take to cancel a deportation order?
Answer
On average, 4 to 12 weeks. The process depends on inter-agency communication speed, the grounds for appeal, and completeness of supporting documentation.
This case proves that deportation is not final. Through a legally sound appeal and experienced representation, a deportation order can be overturned, restoring the client’s rights in the EU and enabling a return to legal residence and travel across Schengen countries.
