The person in question made a visa application in December 2003 to enable him to come to work in the State. The application was accompanied by a work permit valid for a 12 month period from March 2003 to March 2004. The visa application was refused because the work permit was due to expire within a short period after the time the application was received in my Department. It is open to the applicant to submit a new visa application, along with an updated valid work permit, and the application will be considered anew.
