Amharc ar fhreagra1450. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Justice if advice will be provided in relation to the case of a person (details supplied) in which a visa is required for travel to Ireland; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43628/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 1399 and 1450 together.
It is open to any individual to create a visa application at any time via my Department's online facility at:
www.visas.inis.gov.ie/avats/OnlineHome2.aspx.
When submitting an application, if it is the intention of the applicant to enter the State with a view to residing here, they should apply for a D Type - Join Family visa application. If they intend to visit, then they should apply for a C Type - Visit Visa.
Further information is available on my Department's immigration website to assist when creating a visa application:

The onus, as in all cases, is on the applicant to satisfy the Visa Officer that a visa should be granted.
