Written Answers. - Visa Applications.
The visa application in question was refused because it had not been established, on the basis of the documentation supplied to my Department, that the applicant would observe the conditions of a visit visa.
It is open to the applicant to appeal against the refusal of the visa by writing to the visa appeals officer in my Department together with any further information or documentation in support of the application.
