Administrative follow-up and appeals in the event of a refusal.
A refused enrolment or visa, or any other unfavourable administrative decision, is not the end of your project: it is a decision that can be challenged, provided you act quickly and methodically. We analyse the grounds, build the right appeal and carry it through to the decision.

What you need to know
Several kinds of decision can be challenged, each with its own logic. A refused enrolment in higher education is challenged first through an internal appeal to the institution's academic authorities, within short regulatory deadlines; the external-appeal framework has changed, and the effective route now runs through the internal procedure and, where relevant, the competent courts. A long-stay visa refusal is challenged before the Council for Alien Law Litigation, in principle within thirty days of notification, through a non-suspensive appeal. Other administrative decisions (residence, renewal, family reunification) follow the same logic of short deadlines and a reasoned appeal. In every case, a single lost day can close a route of appeal: the decision must be examined and acted on at once.
The key elements of your application
- Analyse the decision and its real grounds
- Meet the appeal deadline, often very short
- Build a well-reasoned appeal
- File correctly with the right authority
