Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 May 2022
529. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Justice the status of an application by a person (details supplied) for an extension of permission to remain in the State; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25691/22]
View answerThe person referred to by the Deputy currently holds a Stamp 2 immigration permission.
The application number supplied by the Deputy relates to an extension of student conditions requested over a year ago. That application was subsequently approved and the person's student permission was extended to 31 May 2022.
The conditions of the extension were outlined in a letter from my Department dated 4 June 2021. My Department has not received any further immigration application from the person concerned.
It may be open to them to apply to my Department for a change of status or an extension to their current permission. Any application would need to be supported by relevant documentation and details of their personal circumstances.
It may also be open to them to make an application for a Stamp 1G on the completion of their PhD and for any prospective employer to make an application for an employment permit on their behalf to the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, who have responsibility for the employment permits regime.
