Visa applicants are normally required to submit their visa application to the embassy or consulate in their country of permanent residence. If there is no Irish mission in the country of residence the application can be submitted to any Irish embassy or directly to the visa office, Department of Foreign Affairs, 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2. Visa applications can be submitted by post. A person may submit an application on behalf of another person provided the person applying for a visa has actually completed and signed the visa application form himself.
In this case, the visa application was initially refused by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and this decision was upheld following an appeal by the applicant. Therefore, a new visa application must now be submitted. The new application can be submitted to the visa office in Dublin by the person detailed on behalf of the applicant provided the applicant has completed and signed the visa application form herself.
