New on TikTok: SIS Alert and Visa Cancellation: the Administrative Court of Rome Rejects Automatic Decisions Welcome to a new episode of the podcast “Immigration Law”. My name is lawyer Fabio Loscerbo. Today I want to discuss an important decision concerning alerts in the Schengen Information System, the SIS. This is Judgment number 2728 of 2026 issued by the Regional Administrative Court for Lazio, Section V Quater, in case number 13539 of 2025. The case concerned a foreign citizen who had obtained a study visa issued by an Italian embassy. Later, however, another Schengen State entered an alert in the SIS system. Based on this alert, the embassy decided to cancel the visa that had already been issued, and the Questura of Milan subsequently declared the residence permit application for study purposes inadmissible. The Administrative Court clarified an important principle: an SIS alert cannot automatically justify the cancellation of a visa. According to the judges, the administration must always carry out a concrete assessment of the case, verifying proportionality and the legitimate expectations of the person concerned. In this situation, the administration treated the SIS alert as an automatic obligation, believing it had no discretion. The court rejected this approach and stated that a proper administrative assessment was required before cancelling the visa. For this reason, the court annulled both the visa cancellation and the decision of the Questura. This decision confirms a fundamental principle: the Schengen Information System is a tool for cooperation between states, but it does not eliminate the duty of authorities to evaluate each individual case. Thank you for listening to this episode of the podcast “Immigration Law”. I am lawyer Fabio Loscerbo, and I will see you in the next episode. 🎙️
