As a reminder, please find here the procedure to open an appeal:
If you have received a refusal or a ban, and you would like to appeal, the best way forward is to go directly in person to the Immigration Appeals Board (IAB) office in Valletta and open an appeal. Once done, you will be given a receipt containing the appeal reference number and a deadline of one month to provide relevant submissions/supporting documentation.
When attending at the Immigration Appeals Board (IAB) office in Valletta you will need to fill in the Official Appeals Form. Please ensure you take a copy of the Refusal Letter and your Residence Card / Passport.
