How can I appeal a refused, revoked or annulled ETIAS?

Contrary to other types of travel authorizations, ETIAS allows to appeal the final decision for a refused application or even for a revoked or annulled authorization already granted, as well as data protection rights. Now, how can this be accomplished?

The resolution of your travel authorization ETIAS will be communicated to the email you provided while filling out the form. You need to pay close attention to your mailbox since every communication with you will be via your email. Now, if the result of your application is a refusal, included in this notification you will find the information as to which country you should appeal (in case you applied to visit several of them) and will give a detailed explanation on how to carry out this particular option. Only take into consideration that appeals are handled respecting the national law of those countries.

You will have to prove you are entitled to get the approval for the reasons that you deem appropriate and must be under consideration, show evidence of such with pictures, files, anything that can help the ETIAS unit of that country to reconsider your application. There will be a dedicated panel to study all these cases, and chances are you finally get you approval on hand.

Same case if your application gets annulled. However, if you have decided to revoke your own authorization, it will not be possible to appeal against your own decision.
