Visa refusal appeal
I had applied for a spanish tourist visa with my family. I am the citizen of Pakistan. I had submitted all the required documents but my visa was refused 
I want to ask
- Is there chance of getting my appeal approved if I add some supporting documents?
- Can I email my appeal letter and supporting documents?? If yes than how?
Best Answer
In general you need very, very strong arguments that the decision was wrong (given the information they had at the time) to be successful with an appeal. Remember: a visa is not something you're entitled to, it's something you can be granted if you can provide strong enough arguments that you should get one, and the staff at the embassy are basically free to decide either way they want to.
If you have to add additional documents, it's really not an appeal but a new application!
Just make sure you understand the reasons given, see e.g.
- Schengen Visa Refusal: Justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not reliable
- Schengen Visa Refusal: Justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided
and address those issue in a new application.
