I can advise the Deputy that Afghan nationals are visa required and must have a valid Irish visa before they seek to enter the State. Any visa required national that wishes to enter the State, and remain, for up to 90 days must have a Type C Short Stay Visa. A visa required national that wishes to reside in the State for longer than 90 days must have a Type D Long Stay Visa.
Any person that wishes to make a visa application must do so online at: www.visas.inis.gov.ie/avats/OnlineHome.aspx.
Based on the information supplied, it has unfortunately not been possible to locate any application for the person referred to.
If more information can be provided I would be happy to re-examine your request.
