Why appealing a negative decision is important and deadlines for filing
It is important to know: in case of receiving a negative decision (for example, regarding a residence card), you have only 14 days to file an appeal or objection (E-Visa – visa support). That is why quick legal assistance is critically important — to avoid missing the deadline and to effectively protect your rights.
How to properly prepare an appeal — key steps
- Analyzing the reason for refusal
Carefully review the official letter with the reasons for the negative decision. If there are unclear points, you should consult a translator or lawyer to clearly define what exactly needs to be appealed.
- Preparing documents for the appeal
- Copy of the decision with detailed reasons for refusal
- Evidence disproving the grounds for rejection
- Official request or explanatory statement, formatted according to the authority’s requirements
- Submitting the appeal on time
The appeal must be filed within 14 days from the date you receive the decision letter.

FAQ
Question
What should I do if I don’t understand the reason for refusal?
Answer
Contact a lawyer or a certified translator. Often, the wording in the letter may be confusing, and misinterpreting the grounds for refusal can lead to losing the appeal.
Question
What are the deadlines for appeal?
Answer
The law provides 14 days from the date of receiving a negative decision to file an appeal.
Question
Can I get a refund for the application fee (e.g., payment receipt)?

No. Payments made during the application process (for example, 340 PLN) are non-refundable, even if the case is resolved in your favor.
