The person referred to by the Deputy is registered on a Stamp 3 immigration permission until 13 November 2023.
It is open to the person concerned to apply for a change of immigration status if they meet the criteria for doing so. Further information on the criteria for changing immigration permission, including instructions on how to change permission are available on the Immigration Service website at: www.irishimmigration.ie/my-situation-has-changed-since-i-arrived-in-ireland/
It is also open to the person concerned to seek an employment permit from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE), should they wish to take up employment in the State. Further information on employment permits is available on the DETE website at: www.enterprise.gov.ie.
If the person is successful in obtaining an employment permit, they may then apply to the Immigration Service of my Department for a change of status from a Stamp 3 immigration permission to a Stamp 1 employment permission.
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 at 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 Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in the cases where the response is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
