If the applicant for a temporary residence permit has received a negative decision, he / she has the right to appeal against this decision. An appeal must be lodged within 14 days of notification of the decision.
The appeal must set out the arguments which justify why the authority’s decision was wrong or incorrect. A request for appeal may be made in writing or electronically. If an appeal is submitted in writing, it must be delivered in person or sent by mail.
In the event of an appeal, the authority shall re-examine the case. If necessary, the authority may convene an additional meeting to take note of any new evidence or explanations.
If the authority considers that the appeal is well founded, it may change its decision and grant a temporary residence permit. If the negative decision is upheld, the applicant may file a complaint with the Administrative Court.
