June 2025
End of Remonstration Procedure from 1 July 2025
Important Update: End of Remonstration Procedure from 1 July 2025
Starting 1 July 2025, the remonstration procedure for rejected visa applications will be discontinued worldwide. This means:
-
If your visa is rejected after this date, you can no longer submit a remonstration.
-
Instead, you have the option to file a legal complaint with the Administrative Court in Berlin (in German and subject to court fees).
-
You may also submit a new visa application at any time.
This change aims to speed up visa processing and reduce waiting times for all applicants.
To avoid rejections, please ensure your documents are complete and correct. Detailed information is available on the embassy website. (https://dublin.diplo.de/ie-en/2720864-2720864)
