I understand that the person referred to is currently outside of the State.
Having an application to the scheme for the Regularisation of Long Term Undocumented Migrants does not provide an individual the means to gain entry to the State or to bypass existing immigration laws.
This person’s application continues to be processed. The processing times of applications will vary depending on the complexity of the application, whether it is a single or family application, the supporting documentation and the vetting process with An Garda Síochána (AGS). Applications where there is an existing deportation order will require additional processing.
Each application received is assessed individually in accordance with the published criteria, available on my Department's immigration website at: www.irishimmigration.ie/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Undocumented-Policy-Scheme-January-2022.pdf .
