What is a Recurso Administrativo de Residencia Definitiva permit? (Administrative appeal)
When the Servicio Nacional de Migraciones (SERMIG) receives an application for Residencia Definitiva permit from a foreigner, it may grant or reject the permit. For cases where the applied benefit has been rejected, the person will have the option of filing, only once, an administrative appeal against the measure ordered, accompanying new documents to support his claim.
This appeal must be submitted within five days of its notification, or the person may resort to any of the appeals contemplated in Law No. 19.880, with the effects that the legislation establishes for each of these.
Where can I file an administrative appeal?
This appeal must be filed through the SERMIG’s Portal de Trámites Digitales, by logging in with ClaveÚnica or with your account created for this purpose, being within the national territory.
Important!
As of May 2, 2024, the Reconsideration process will be disabled in the Portal de Trámites Digitales. Instead, you must file an administrative appeal to have your residence application reconsidered.
