Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 March 2020
437. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when stamp 2 or stamp 4 will be approved in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3803/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person referred to by the Deputy is registered under Stamp 2 Student conditions until May 2020 and, subject to continuing on the course of study, can rely on that permission to continue part-time working and have it renewed for the duration of the course.
However, and depending on the course of study completed, either Degree or Masters level programmes, there may be an opportunity to make an application to transfer to another student- or graduate-related permission.
A person seeking to change their immigration status is advised to apply well in advance of their current immigration permission expiring, clearly setting out the reason for change.
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.
