The application referred to by the Deputy was lodged in the Honorary Consulate of Ireland, Manilla. The application form submitted when making the visa request was incorrect. The applicant has been advised of this and documentation, including the correct form, has been returned to them.

The applicant must now submit a fresh application along with supporting documentation to the Consulate in Manilla. The normal processing time for 'Visit' visa applications is 6 — 8 weeks.
