In such cases, Article 35a of the Foreign Nationals Act applies to repeated applications for international protection. A repeated application must be directed to the authority that made the decision which is being re-evaluated, and the application does not suspend the legal effects of the previous decision. However, it is permissible to suspend the legal effects of the previous decision if the applicant has requested this alongside submitting the repeated application and has demonstrated a pressing need to delay enforcement. No statement deadline is granted for repeated applications, so it&#8217;s important that both the argumentation and supporting evidence are submitted with the request. The decision on a repeated application is made by one board member based on the law.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-146c3p1 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-37j5jr r-a023e6 r-rjixqe r-16dba41 r-1adg3ll\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q\"><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1wl4xqv\">Notifications<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-146c3p1 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-37j5jr r-a023e6 r-rjixqe r-16dba41 r-1adg3ll\" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1wl4xqv\">According to Article 44 of Regulation No. 540\/2017 on Foreign Nationals, the Directorate of Immigration and the Immigration Appeals Board are allowed to issue decisions under the Foreign Nationals Act electronically.
