The application referred to by the Deputy was received in the Visa Office, Dublin on 8 November 2007. It was refused by the Visa Officer on 13 November 2007 for a number of reasons:

1.There was no clear link to the reference shown.

2.The obligations shown by the applicant that they would return to the home country were not deemed sufficient.

3.The financial evidence provided was deemed to be insufficient or incomplete.

The decision of the Visa Officer may be appealed within two months of the date of decision, in this case before 13 January 2008. Guidelines on making an appeal can be found on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service at www.inis.gov.ie.The information received from the Honorary Consulate in Bangkok is that it is the policy to return all original documentation and to keep photocopies on file. No original documents for the application referred to have been held, lost or misplaced.
