Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 March 2020
383. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when a visa application will be approved in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3135/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe application for a short stay visa was refused for reasons provided to the person concerned in a letter issued by my Department on 12 November 2019.
It is open to applicants to appeal visa refusal decisions, in writing, within two months of the date of the refusal. Please be advised that no appeal was received in relation to this application.
If no appeal is received within two months from the date of refusal, applicants may submit a new application. If submitting a new application, applicants should bear in mind the reasons for refusal of the previous application and submit up to date supporting documentation. The application will be considered on its own merits.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to 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 is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
