Written answers

An application for a Green Card Employment Permit was received in respect of the person named above. This application was refused on 23rd January 2013.

A review of this decision was sought in accordance with Section 13 of the 2006 Employment Permits Act. The review upheld the original decision to refuse the permit on the basis that the information on the application indicated that the employer was trading under a business name that was not registered with the Companies Registration Office. Registration of a business name is obligatory if any individual, partnership or body corporate is trading under a name other than their own true name.

I understand that a new application has been submitted to my Department and that it is currently being given consideration.
