The application in question was received in my Department on 14 January 2006 for the purpose of allowing a non-EEA national reside in the State. The applicant had recently applied for and been granted a visit visa and is in the State. This visit visa is due to expire on 27 February 2006. The conditions of this visa require the applicant to return to his country of residence and it is then open to him to make any further application from there. Such applications will be examined fully by my Department. The passports which were forwarded to my Department have been returned by registered post to the address provided on the visa application.
