You have the chance to appeal the decision within one month of notification. You can appeal to the Visa Department at the Consulate where you made your application or to the Madrid High Court of Justice (if you choose this route, all documents need to be translated into Spanish).
You need to provide the following documentation:
- A copy of the refusal decision.
- A letter stating the grounds for your appeal.
- Documents supporting your appeal.
- A copy of your passport.
- A copy of your residence permit.
- Contact details including your current address, email and home telephone number.
The Consulate has one month to make a decision. If you do not receive a reply within one month, you can consider that your appeal has not been successful.
