Procedure in case of visa refusal

Every applicant who has not been granted a short-term visa will be informed in writing of the reasons for not being granted a visa, in accordance with the provisions of Article 32(2) of the Visa Code.
 

In the case of a decision not to grant a visa for a stay of up to 90 days, a request for a reassessment of the reasons for the refusal may be submitted to the embassy which processed the application within 15 days of receipt of the information on the refusal. The deadline for a decision on such an application is 60 days from the date of receipt by the consular section.

Following the decision not to grant a visa, the applicant has the right at any time to submit a new application, which must be supported by the required documents. He/she may do so even immediately after the refusal of the previous application.

The application for a reassessment of the reasons for the refusal of the visa must include details of the submitting person (name, surname, date of birth, address of permanent residence or postal address) and the alleged discrepancy with the law or the incorrectness of the decision. The application cannot be based on facts which the foreigner did not document or state in the visa application.

An application for a reassessment of the reasons for not granting a visa must be submitted in Czech, English or French. An application in another language must be accompanied by a notarised translation into Czech.

The foreigner must submit the application for a reassessment of the reasons for not granting the visa in writing with a handwritten signature or by data mail box. The law does not allow for the application to be submitted orally into a protocol. The application may be sent by post, by data mail box or submitted in person at the consular section. Reception of applications for reassessment of not granting a Schengen visa in case of personal submission:

every business day from 9AM to 12PM

There is a fee of EUR 60 for submitting an application for a reassessment of the reasons for not granting a visa. The fee for an application for reassessment of the reasons for not granting a visa is waived in the case of family members of EU citizens.
