504. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice if a visa extension will be granted for persons (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35454/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe persons referred to by the Deputy had their Extensions of Visitor Conditions (EVIC) applications refused on 8 June 2022 on the basis that they wished to spend additional time with their family.
Based on the information provided by the Deputy it appears that their circumstances have now changed. As outlined in their refusal letter, it remains open to the persons concerned to make a new EVIC application. Any application should clearly outline the new information upon which they wish to base the application and provide evidence to substantiate the claim.
Once new applications have been received by the Domestic Residence and Permissions Division of my Department, they will be processed as soon as possible.
The eligibility criteria for an Extensions of Visitor Conditions (EVIC) application is available on my Department’s immigration website at: irishimmigration.ie/extension-of-visitor-permission/.
