SCHENGEN STUDENT VISA / D VISA REFUSAL (APPEAL)
(Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, France, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary)
D Visas are filed for long term purpose of stay (more than 3 months) in a Schengen country and such visas are usually sought by Student, Temporary Workers (including Businessmen) and Family Members of EU citizens. The D visa is filed for after some approval or invitation from the Schengen country and in most cases the purpose of stay is usually already recognized with the country of application before the filing of a D visa. This, in the case of a student, is in the form of Admission Confirmation from his proposed institution while in the case of a temporary worker, this approval is in the shape of a Work Permit or Business Permit approval from the Immigration Authority of the country of application. The D visa application cannot be filed in any Schengen country’s embassy rather only at the embassy of the country of stay. Likewise, a D vis holder cannot enter from any Schengen country rather only from the country where his stay in intended. After the above discussed preliminary approval, the applicant’s job (in the D visa application) is more or less the same as in the case of a C visa (i.e. qualifying on the assessment criteria for genuineness and suitability of the application). If these criteria are not satisfied, the applicant meets the refusal of his visa under one of the following clauses:
2. Justification of the purpose of visit and conditions of the intended stay was not provided
6. One or more Member State(s) consider you a threat to public policy, internal security, public health, as defined in article 21(9) of Regulation EC No 562/2006 Schengen Borders Code or international relations of one of more of the Member State(s)
8. The information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay were not reliable
The applicant usually goes with great confidence while filing for a D visa application having one of the above discussed preliminary approvals in hand. In this confidence, he fails to realize that the preliminary approval is the satisfaction of the university (in the case of a student) or the immigration department (in the case of a temporary worker) regarding the arrangements available for confirming his purpose and circumstances of stay in the Schengen while his entry in the Schengen is still assessed under the same Schengen Border Code that assess C visa application. Therefore, after grant of an admission at a university or after an approval for work permit, the student or temporary must not think that their entry is already approved in the Schengen and all they need to do now is to submit their passport and get the entry visa. The applicants still have to supply comprehensive documentation regarding each of the factors to be assessed in their application for entry in the Schengen and failure to qualify in any of these factors may result in the refusal of the visa.
