WHAT ARE VISA DENIALS, ANNULMENTS, AND WITHDRAWALS?
VISA DENIAL
- Lack of adequate documentation.
- Failure to comply with immigration regulations.

VISA ANNULMENT
An annulment arises when, after a visa has been granted, irregularities are discovered, such as:
- Falsified documents.
- Fraud in the application process.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU RECEIVE AN UNFAVORABLE DECISION FROM THE SPANISH EMBASSY?
If you have been notified of a visa denial, annulment, or withdrawal, it is crucial to act within the established deadlines. Under Spanish law, there are two main legal remedies available:
ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL (RECURSO DE REPOSICIÓN)
This remedy allows you to request the same authority to review its decision. It must be filed within one month from the date of notification.
CONTENTIOUS-ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL
If the decision is not reversed through the administrative route, you can file a contentious-administrative appeal before the High Court of Justice of Madrid. This must be submitted within two months of receiving the official decision.
