Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2023
789. Deputy Colm Burke asked the Minister for Justice when a decision is likely to be reached on a visa extension application (details supplied) in view that the visa is due to expire on 30 October 2023; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [47272/23]
View answerThe person referred to by the Deputy was granted an extension of their Stamp 1G immigration permission (Third Level Graduate Programme) for a period of 4 months on 26 October 2023. This permission is valid until 26 February 2024 and has been granted to afford the person an opportunity to acquire an employment permit during this time.
Any non EEA National seeking to work in Ireland must have an employment permit granted by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment or an in date immigration permission granted by my Department.
The person concerned should now make arrangements to register the Stamp 1G immigration permission granted with their local immigration office, if not already done so.
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.
