The person in question made an application for a visa in October 2003. The application was refused because it had not been established, on the basis of the documentation supplied to my Department, that the applicant would observe the conditions of the visa. In particular, it was felt that the applicant, a 20 year old, had not displayed sufficient evidence of her obligations to return home following her proposed visit. It was noted that the application was not accompanied by any details of the applicant's employment in her home country. It was also noted that no documentation was submitted with the application to show how the applicant intended to maintain herself while in the State. The application also contained inconsistencies in the information provided. It is open to the applicant to appeal against the refusal by writing to the visa appeals officer in the Department.
