How to appeal a negative Schengen visa decision?

This is an example of a power of attorney.

An appeal shall arrive at the Embassy within 21 days after notification of the decision. Due to GDPR legislation we recommend sending it by mail. (However, appeals recieved by email will also be accepted.) Submission of appeals at the Embassy takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2pm-3pm only. Note that no original documents of value shall be submitted with the appeal and that all documents shall be in French, English or Swedish.

The appeal must mention the following points:

• the case number (to be found on the decision) and name of the applicant and his/her address and phone number
• which decision the appeal refers to, the reason to why it is seen as incorrect and the desired modification,
• any additional documents not previously submitted,
• if another person than the applicant appeals the decision, the power of attorney has to be included in the appeal,
• the signature of the appliqant or of the other person who has a power of atterney.

The Embassy will examine whether there is a need to modify the decision. If no change is made, the case will be sent to the Administrative Court in Sweden. The Administrative Court is responsible for notifying the applicant of their decision.
