A very common mistake is the omission of appeal deadlines from foreigners. Unfortunately, this is a common mistake made by foreigners.
For their part, diplomatic institutions may not receive the appropriate package of documents in a timely manner, which is sent, for example, via postal service. Therefore, it is worth understanding here that deadlines can be missed due to various circumstances.
An appeal against a decision to refuse a transit visa can be filed no earlier than 10 days after receiving it. During this time, the person (independently or with the involvement of a lawyer) must analyze the refusal in detail and prepare an appeal.
If, after submitting the appropriate appeal, a person is repeatedly refused a transit visa, he has the full right to appeal already in court. The legislation establishes that it is possible to file an appeal to the court about the refusal to receive a transit visa within 6 months. It should be understood that if the decision on refusal was given to you by a diplomatic institution, then the appeal should be sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It should be understood that the decision of the consul of Ukraine to grant a visa to Ukraine is primarily based on information from the automatically generated data of the relevant authorities: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Administration of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, the State Migration Service of Ukraine, the National Police of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine and the Foreign Service intelligence of Ukraine, and in some cases the Ministry of Health and other bodies. So, for example, if a person is a citizen, foreigner or stateless person who permanently lives in a country where there are such events as: war, terrorist attacks, epidemics, quarantines (these are, as a rule, countries with an authoritarian regime - where oligarchs rule through the country's special services, military, religious, political, criminal and other power branches, establishing complete totalitarian control over citizens), then the submission of documents for a visa to Ukraine is carried out exclusively to a diplomatic institution that has jurisdiction in this state. The consul in such a country, in addition to checking the information in the relevant databases on the corresponding foreigner or stateless person, applies for additional information to the competent authorities authorized to carry out a special check (Administration of the State Border Service of Ukraine, State Migration Service of Ukraine, Security Service of Ukraine) . After consideration by these bodies of the corresponding request of the consul, they provide information about such a person in a special format. If a foreigner or a stateless person has been found in the relevant databases as a person who has signs or facts of committing a crime and/or may threaten the national security of Ukraine, the consul must refuse to issue a visa to Ukraine.
The deadline for appealing a refusal decision may depend on a number of circumstances and factors. You will usually be given a certain period of time to appeal or challenge the decision. This term is from several weeks to several months.
