Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 June 2022
738. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Justice when a decision will be made in relation to an application for a visa in respect of a non-national (details supplied); the reason for the delay in making a decision on this application; the need for the visa to issue urgently to enable the applicant who has secured employment in Ireland, to take up this position; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34619/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person referred to by the Deputy created an online employment visa application on 3 June 2022.
To date, the summary sheet and supporting documentation has not yet been received by the relevant Visa Office. Once the applicant is satisfied with their application they should click “submit” and print a copy of their “Summary Form”. The summary form contains some of the information the applicant has entered. It will also contain instructions on what they are required to do next in order to submit their documentation and pay the relevant fee.
The instructions will differ depending on which country they are applying from.
The applicant should lodge the summary form together with the relevant fee and supporting documentation with the relevant Irish Embassy, Consulate or Visa Office as soon as possible. The applicant should make sure that the supporting documentation is as up to date as possible. Upon receipt of the necessary documentation and fee, the visa application will be processed further.
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 (inisoireachtasmail@justice.ie), 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.
