Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2004
732 Mr. Gogarty asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when a decision will be made on the holiday visa application by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11683/04]
View answerThe person in question made a visa application in March 2004. The application 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 the visa.
It was noted that the applicant is currently on six months unpaid leave from her employment. There was no satisfactory evidence submitted to show that she was in a position to fully support herself. It was also noted that the applicant listed a reference in Ireland on her visa application form. However no evidence of how she met the reference was included with her application. It is open to the applicant to appeal against the refusal by writing to the visa appeals officer in my Department.
