My Schengen visa application has been refused. What can I do?
The Consular authority has the sole competency to grant or refuse a visa. TLScontact is not involved at any time in the decision process and is neither informed by the Consulate of the visa application's result.
In case of refusal decision by the French Consular Authorities of the visa you applied for, you can either choose to:
-submit a new visa application
- send an appeal request to the Appeal Commission (CRRV)..
1) Submit a new visa application (especially if your previous application file was incomplete).
You will first need to book a new appointment with TLScontact center (schedule an appointment by register online on our website). Once your new appointment is booked, you will then need to come and submit your new visa application to our center and submit all required documentation relative to this new visa application. Warning: you will need to submit a complete new set of documentation and will have to pay service and visa fees corresponding to this new visa application.
2)Send an appeal to the AppealCommission (CRRV)
Since the 5th of April 2011, motivation of visa refusal decision for the Schengen area is given on the release form provided by the community Code on Visas regulation. The appeal process is explained on the notification letter given to applicants.
You have 2 months from the reception of the notification of refusal decision to perform this action. After this period, you will not be able to submit an appeal. This appeal request must be send by postal mail to the following address:
Secrétariat général de la CRRV
BP 83.609 - 44036 NANTES CEDEX France
Your appeal letter must be written in French otherwise it will not be taken in consideration by the Appeal Commission (CRRV).
To enable the Appeal Commission to identify correctly your file, you must also clearly indicate the following information:
* your identity, as written on your passport (full name, date of birth)
* the name of the Consulate which has refused to issue the visa you applied for
* the visa fee receipt number issued by the Consulate concerned and the date of issue thereof (to prove that a file visa application has been filed)
The CRRV has two months to give you an answer to your appeal.
top Why does it take so long for some nationalities to obtain their Schengen visas?
For certain types of travel document holder, the Consulate-General of France in London must consult the other Schengen partners before making a decision on whether to issue a visa. Be advised that this consultation will occur every time you apply for a visa and that the process will take a minimum of 15 calendar days from receipt at Consulate-General of France in London. You will not be able to lodge your visa application less than 15 calendar days from your date of departure if your circumstances require a consultation.
Please note that applications submitted at the TLScontact visa center are transferred to the Consulate on the next working day, so take particular care when scheduling appointments that fall immediately before a weekend or public holiday.
