Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 7 September 2018
438. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the procedure to be followed by a person (details supplied) whose stamp 4 visa expires on 25 October 2018 and who wishes to have it extended; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35594/18]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned had their permission to remain in the State renewed for a further three-year period, to 25 October 2018. This decision was conveyed in writing to the person concerned by letter dated 7 October 2015.
The renewal decision letter referred to advised the person concerned of the requirement that they apply for further renewal of their permission to remain, two weeks before their existing permission expired, to their Local District Headquarters.
Responsibility for the registration process referred to is vested in the Garda National Immigration Bureau.
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.
