Schengen visa refused? A simple guide to making an appeal
A growing number of Indian travelers are seeing their Schengen visa applications rejected. If you have received a refusal, you can file an appeal to contest the decision. The Schengen visa allows travel across 27 European countries. According to Schengen rules, every applicant has the right to appeal if they disagree with the decision. The refusal notice contains instructions about where and how to send an appeal. In most cases, an appeal must be submitted to the consulate or embassy that rejected the visa. Here's how the process works. Understanding the Refusal Notice Each Schengen visa refusal notice contains specific reasons for the rejection. Common reasons include: Incomplete or inconsistent documents Lack of proof of financial means Unclear purpose of travel No proof of accommodation Inadequate travel insurance Read this notice carefully. The reasons listed here are the starting point for making a strong appeal.

The processing time varies but can take a few weeks. They will notify you of their decision once the review is complete. If the appeal is successful, your visa will be granted.
