Family reunification as provided for in S56 of the International Protection Act 2015, allows people granted International Protection to apply for certain family members to join them in the State.
The current average processing time is 10 months. Processing time can vary depending on the nature of the application and the documentation supplied.
Information on how to apply for family reunification as provided for in S56 of the International Protection Act 2015 is available on my Department's website here: www.irishimmigration.ie/coming-to-join-family-in-ireland/family-reunification-of-international-protection-holders/
