Appealing a Schengen Visa Refusal (Germany Rules since 2025)

Since 1 July 2025 German missions no longer accept remonstrations; you can reapply or sue at the Berlin Administrative Court within 1 month (court fee about €480).[1] Other countries: follow the remedy stated on your refusal form.[2]

General information, not legal advice. Only the consulate decides; no document guarantees a visa. Check the current official list before applying.
