Notes
In order to submit a subsequent application to the Asylum Service, a final rejection decision must have been received from the Greek Police or the Asylum Service and there must be new reasons why the applicant is seeking to be granted international protection (asylum). It should be noted that after the submission of a subsequent application, an international protection applicant card is not issued, as the Asylum Service must decide whether to accept the application.
Only if the subsequent application is accepted will an international protection applicant card be issued and the examination of the application by the Asylum Service will continue. It is addressed to third country nationals.
The applicant has the right to appeal to the Appeals Authority against a decision rejecting a subsequent application as inadmissible, within five (5) days from the service of the decision.
During the time limit for lodging an appeal and until the notification of the decision thereon, any measure of expulsion, readmission or return of the applicant shall be suspended.Last update
