Legal Appeals for Visa Fee Refunds in Ireland
If your visa application has been refused, you may wonder whether you can obtain a refund of the visa fee. In most cases, visa fees are non-refundable, regardless of the outcome. However, in certain circumstances, legal action may be taken to challenge the refusal and seek a refund.
Judicial Review for Visa Refusals
If a visa is refused and an appeal is unsuccessful, applicants may have the option to initiate a judicial review in the High Court. This process involves challenging the legality of the visa refusal rather than the decision itself. Judicial reviews are typically pursued when an applicant believes the decision was made in error, unlawfully, or in breach of natural justice.
Immigration Solicitors have extensive experience in handling judicial review cases for visa refusals, with some cases reaching the European Court of Justice.
