I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is a non-visa required national who entered the State in September 2016 and appears to have remained without permission since then.
I am further informed that INIS has no record of an application for residency in the State arising from marriage to an Irish citizen in respect of the person concerned. However, I am advised that it is open to the person concerned to make a written application to the Spouse of Irish National Unit, INIS, P.O. Box 12695, Dublin 2, seeking residency in the State arising from his marriage to an Irish national. Details on the information and documentation required to be provided in support of an application may be found at www.inis.gov.ie.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility, which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from the INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
