Persons who have been legally resident in the State for over five years on the basis of work permit/work authorisation/work visa conditions may apply to the Immigration Division of my Department for a five year residency extension.

An application for Long Term Residency from the person referred to by the Deputy was received in September 2009. I understand that applications received in June 2009 are currently being dealt with and it is likely, therefore, that the application of the person referred to will be processed in the next few months. As soon as a decision is made on the case, the person concerned will be informed. The person concerned should ensure that her permission to remain in the State is kept up to date while she awaits a determination of her application.

I wish to inform the Deputy that on 17 May, 2010 EU Treaty Rights Section wrote to the representative of the applicant requesting further documentation in relation to her client's application for residence in the State.

To date EU Treaty Rights Section has not received a reply from the applicant or her representative.
