⚖️ Lawyer in Oradea Specialized in Appeals Against IGI Decisions (Right of Residence)

If the General Inspectorate for Immigration (IGI) has rejected your request to extend your residence permit, revoked your existing permit, or issued a refusal of stay, you have the right to challenge the decision in court.

We assist foreign nationals (EU and non-EU citizens) with filing legal appeals against IGI decisions at the competent Romanian court.

✅ Common Cases We Handle:

• ❌ Rejection of residence permit extension (for work, study, family reunification, etc.)
• ❌ Cancellation or revocation of right of residence
• ❌ Order to leave Romanian territory (expulsion/deportation)
• ❌ Refusal to issue a new residence card or permit
• ❌ Re-entry ban decisions by IGI

📝 What Is the Legal Deadline to File an Appeal?

According to Romanian administrative law:

You must file a contestation (appeal) against the IGI decision within 10 or 15 days (depending on the type of decision).

‼️ Do not delay! Missing the deadline can make the decision final and very difficult to overturn.

We can help you draft and submit the appeal urgently.

✅ What Can Be Challenged in Court?

Under Romanian law (Law no. 122/2006 and Administrative Litigation Law no. 554/2004), you can challenge IGI’s decision if:

• The decision violates your rights under Romanian or EU law
• You meet all legal conditions but were still rejected
• IGI has made procedural errors or issued an unmotivated decision

🏛️ Which Court Has Jurisdiction?

• For residents in Oradea or Bihor County, the Bihor Tribunal – Administrative and Fiscal Litigation Section is competent to hear your appeal.
• We provide full legal representation before this court.

📄 Documents Needed for the Appeal:

• IGI’s written decision (refusal or revocation)
• Previous residence permits or documents
• Proof of income, work/study contracts, family ties, etc.
• Your identity/passport documents
• Power of attorney (if we represent you in court)

✍️ How We Help:

• Review IGI’s decision and your legal situation
• Draft and file the administrative appeal (contestatie)
• Represent you in front of the Tribunalul Bihor
• Assist with preparing all evidence and legal arguments
