The person referred to by the Deputy has permission to remain in the State on the Third Level Graduate Programme until 20 September 2021, under the most recent temporary extension of immigration and international protection permissions announced in March 2021.
The person concerned has reached the maximum time permitted to be in the State on student permission. In order to obtain a further permission to remain in the State, they are required to obtain an employment permit from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE).
If the person is successful in obtaining an employment permit, they may then apply to the Immigration Service of my Department for a Stamp 1 employment permission allowing them to work in the State on their employment permit conditions.
Further information on employment permits is available on the DETE website at: enterprise.gov.ie/en .
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility (INISOireachtasMail@justice.ie) 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 is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
