Deadline triage
We identify the applicable appeal deadline the day you instruct us and act to preserve it.

Residency appeals in Spain
A refusal is not the end of the matter, but the clock starts immediately. The first decision is strategic: appeal the decision or correct and re-file.
Who this is for
- Clients with a refused application
- Clients facing revocation or non-renewal
- Families affected by a refusal of one member
Refusal analysis
Most refusals cite a defect that is either evidential or legal. The distinction determines whether appealing can succeed.
Judicial route
Where administrative appeal is exhausted or inadequate, we advise on contentious-administrative proceedings.

Frequently asked questions
- How long do I have to appeal?
- Appeal periods are short and vary by the type of decision. Send us the resolution as soon as you receive it so we can calculate it precisely.
- Can I stay in Spain while appealing?
- That depends on your prior status and on the type of decision. It is one of the first points we clarify.
