The request for reconsideration, when a request for a residence permit is rejected in Brazil, is based on the general principles of administrative law, especially the right to full defense and adversarial proceedings, guaranteed by the 1988 Federal Constitution.

Overview

The request for reconsideration, when a request for a residence permit is rejected in Brazil, is based on the general principles of administrative law, especially the right to full defense and contradictory proceedings, guaranteed by the Federal Constitution of 1988. Law No. 9,784/1999, which regulates the federal administrative process, provides for the right to request reconsideration in cases of error or illegality in the administrative act, that is, in the decision that “denied” the request. Thus, the right to request reconsideration of a denial is supported by administrative law and the constitutional principle of defense. But remember that the deadline to present this appeal is only 30 days.
