It is not the practice to issue long term multi entry visas for the purpose of visits, which, by their nature are of a short stay duration. However the Deputy will be aware that my office previously issued one year multi entry visas to the persons referred to and unless there is a significant change in circumstances my Department is happy to continue to provide this facility in the future. The previous correspondence referred to by the Deputy was replied to on 29 February, 2008.
