Any non-EEA national who comes to the State as a visitor is expected to leave Ireland before the expiry of their visitor permission. Any Extension of Visitor Conditions (EVIC) application would only be granted where the circumstances have changed from the time the person was granted the original visa or from when they entered the State if they are not from a visa required country.
If the person referred to by the Deputy requires an extension of their visitor permission, it is open to them to make an application. All applications are processed within two weeks of receipt. Any application should clearly state the reasons for the extension and provide all appropriate documentary evidence, for example medical reports, in support of the application.
The person concerned may provide their email address on their application and request that the decision issue via email. Further information on how to apply is available on my Department's website at: www.irishimmigration.ie/extension-of-visitor-permission/.
