3.3.2.3 ACCESS TO COURTS Decision regarding citizenship status determination can be appealed as any other decision that Migri has made in accordance with the Nationality Act (Section 41). Any decision made by Migri is regarded as an administrative decision and can be appealed in accordance with the Administrative Judicial Procedure Act to the Administrative Court, which decision in turn can be appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court.

This may be at least to a certain extent attributed to the lack of awareness of this procedure among different actors apart from those authorities who directly and regularly deal with the requests. The administrative courts did not accept the appeal in a single case between January 2011 and September 2012.
