Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 January 2009
740 Deputy Michael D’Arcy asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will provide information on P-1 visas for the US; the criteria for obtaining one and the way to go about it; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1349/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will appreciate, requirements for permission to enter the United States are a matter for the United States authorities. The P-1 non immigrant visa enables non-US citizens or non-US permanent residents, who are professional athletes, artists or entertainers to enter the US for a specific competition or performance. For detailed information, it would be best to contact the Visa Section of the United States Embassy, telephone 01 6688777, or website, www.usembassy.ie for guidance on what are the requirements for obtaining a P-1 visa to travel to the US.
