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.

REGULATION (EU (ΕΕ)) No 604/2013 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 26 June 2013 establishing the criteria and mechanisms for determining the Member State responsible for examining an application for international protection lodged in one of the Member States by a third-country national or a stateless person (recast).
The applicants fingerprints shall be taken by means of a live scan device by the responsible official and sent to the Eurodac central European database for identification.
If Eurodac 3 returns to its previous application, which indicates that a final decision has been adopted on the applicant's application, or an interruption act or that the applicant has resigned from its previous application, the request shall be recorded as a subsequent decision.
If after the applicant's fingerprints have been taken, the applicant does not return a Eurodac 3 reply, but the applicant presents a document showing its file number and which is related to the old application or to the search of the Office on the basis of the dossier number, it appears that there is a interruption or resignation or that the application has not been filed, or that the application has not been filed as a subsequent.
Where a subsequent application is recorded, the recorder shall, before starting to complete the registration form, select the ‘second application’ field.
The recorder shall provide the applicant with a note indicating the name, surname, protocol number of the subsequent application and the asylum number.
The recorder informs the applicant that he/she will not be issued with an international protection card, as the Service must first decide whether to accept his/her application.
The recorder shall inform the applicant that he/she must come to the Office every month to be informed of the progress of his/her application and that if he/she does not come within 3 months at the latest, a stop notice will be issued for his/her application even if it has been found admissible.
The charge for the examination of subsequent applications is made to specific operators. Therefore, the recorders will inform the Recorder Coordinator as soon as they have completed recording the subsequent request. In turn, he/she shall inform by mail both the relevant handlers and the official responsible for subsequent applications at the Regional Asylum Office Secretariat.
