You can appeal a decision of the Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum (BFA), such as a return decision with an entry ban, to the Federal Administrative Court (BVwG). The deadline is short and starts running with service.

This tool takes the date of service and the deadline length stated in your legal remedy instructions and shows a calculated deadline. It does not replace an individual deadline check.

The legal remedy instructions in your decision remain decisive. If in doubt, our team is available for a quick initial review.
