pedido subsequente (repeat application for protection)
A new application for international protection after a final decision on the previous one, including when that decision was made by another EU country. AIMA first carries out a preliminary assessment within 10 days of filing to see whether any new evidence has emerged.
Where you come across it. A refusal of the first application has become final, but circumstances have changed.
If there is no new evidence, the application is declared inadmissible and you have five days to go to court. The inadmissibility decision is sent to the PSP at the same time so that removal proceedings can begin.
