I am informed by the Visa Section of my Department that it is not aware of any major issues or delays currently in the processing of student visas either generally or specifically in the case of the countries detailed. Visa applicants are advised to allow as much time as possible when making a 'Study' application with a minimum time of eight weeks in advance being recommended. The Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform's Customer Charter (2009 -2011) sets out customer service information for customers of my Department, as a whole. Specific information relating to all aspects of visas, including student visas, can be found on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (www.inis.gov.ie).
