Visa Refusal Appeals in Turkey

Who it is for

This service is for people whose visa was refused, either by the country's consulate abroad or by the immigration office inside the country. Refusals are often due to paperwork problems, such as missing or wrong details. A lawyer can explain why the visa was refused and help challenge the decision. This challenge is called an appeal.

What you need

• The letter refusing the visa.
• Your original application and the papers you sent with it.
• Any message giving the reasons for the refusal.

Time matters. Appeals often have to be made within a set time, usually 30 days from the refusal.

How it works

• The lawyer checks your application and papers for mistakes or gaps.
• The lawyer looks at the reason given for the refusal and explains the problems and possible solutions.
• Where possible, an appeal is sent to the consulate or immigration office.
• If that is not possible or fails, the case can be taken to a higher court in the capital.
• You get regular updates throughout.
