Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2017
516. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the process for a person from Australia who is married to a person who has an Italian and English passport to live and work here; the requirements necessary for the person to regularise his or her situation if he or she comes here; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46176/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that based on the general details and personal circumstances supplied by the Deputy regarding the individual concerned, it would appear that the most suitable immigration permission applicable to this person would be to submit an application for EU Treaty Rights on the basis of their marriage to an EU citizen.
Furthermore, I have been advised that all information with regard to submitting an application for EU Treaty Rights and the relevant application form can be located on www.inis.gov.ie. Upon submission of a completed application form which is accompanied by the specified documentation an applicant is afforded temporary Stamp 4 permission to reside and work in Ireland while their application is being processed.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from the INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
