Based on the information provided by the Deputy the Visa Office has no record of a current visa application connected to the person referred to.

It is, however, open to all persons resident outside the State and who are visa required to complete an on-line visa application form for the appropriate visa. Comprehensive information when making a visa application, inclusive of details with regard to the required supporting documents, is available on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (www.inis.gov.ie). Each visa application is considered on its individual merits the onus resting with the applicant to satisfy the Visa Officer as to why a visa should be granted.
