Amharc ar fhreagraThe work permits section of my Department refused an application for a work permit in respect of the named non-EEA national on 7 February 2006, on the grounds that the proposed employee was here on a student visa.
The employer was notified in writing of the decision. To date there has been no appeal or further correspondence from the employer on the issue. An individual in possession of a student visa is entitled to work for up to 20 hours per week without the requirement to hold a valid work permit.
