You can only appeal to the tribunal if you have the legal right to appeal - you鈥檒l usually be told if you do in your decision letter.

Talk to a solicitor or an immigration adviser if you鈥檙e not sure.

Read the guide on representing yourself if you鈥檙e not going to have a legal representative.

Your decision letter will usually tell you if you can apply for an administrative review and if you do not have the right to appeal.

How long you have to appeal

The time you have to submit your appeal depends on where you鈥檙e applying from. If you submit your appeal after the time limit, you must explain why. The tribunal will then decide if it can still hear your appeal.

You can appeal later if your administrative review was unsuccessful for an EU Settlement Scheme, frontier worker or S2 healthcare visitor application. Your administrative review decision will tell you how to appeal.

If you鈥檙e in the UK

You have 14 days from the date you received the decision letter to submit your appeal.

If you鈥檙e outside the UK

You have 28 days from the date you received the decision letter to submit your appeal.

If your decision letter says you must leave the UK before you can appeal, you have 28 days from the date you left the UK to submit your appeal.

Ask for an oral hearing

You can ask during your appeal application for a decision to be made either:

• just on the information in your appeal application and any documents supplied to the tribunal听听
• at a hearing that you and your representative can attend

The tribunal can decide to have a hearing even if you do not ask for one. You鈥檒l be told if this is the case and invited to attend.听听

If the tribunal does not hold a hearing, a judge will decide your case based on your appeal form and the documents.

Hearings are carried out in public. You can ask for it to be held in private or to attend by video link, but you must have a reason, for example a public hearing would put you in danger.

You can ask for a male or female judge if you think there are issues in your appeal that make it appropriate. The tribunal will decide if it can do this.
