Based on the information provided by the Deputy, my Department has no record of a visa application for the person referred to. It would appear that the reference number referred to is not a current visa transaction number. It is open to the applicant to complete an on-line visa application form. It should be borne in mind that the signed two page summary sheet along with the required supporting documentation and fee, if applicable, must be submitted to the relevant embassy/consulate within 30 days of completing the on-line application form. Comprehensive information when making a visa application can be found on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (www.inis.gov.ie).
