Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 September 2013
145. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will set out any requirements in respect of the application for a visa in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39004/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe visa application referred to by the Deputy was received in the Visa Office, Abuja on 15 November 2012. Following full consideration, the Visa Officer decided to refuse the grant of the visa on 25 March 2013. The decision of the Visa Officer to refuse the application was not appealed within 60 days of the refusal date - the requisite time-frame in which an appeal must be submitted. It is now open to the person concerned to make a fresh application, should they so wish.
Guidance information as to the visa application process (including a link to the on-line application form) can be found on the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service website – (www.inis.gov.ie). It should be borne in mind however that the information contained on the website is intended to act as a guideline only. As every visa applicant and their family circumstances are unique, it is impossible to be completely prescriptive about the type of supporting information that should be supplied and accordingly, such details are dealt with as part of the application process.
