I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is registered in the State as a student on Stamp 2A conditions until 9 December 2017.

The person concerned made an application for a change of their immigration status on 16 February 2016. This application was considered, and it was decided that the person concerned was not eligible for permission to remain in the State on Stamp 4 conditions. The applicant was informed on 9 June 2016 that they were to be provided with permission to remain in the State on Stamp 2A conditions. The person concerned was informed at that time that if they wished to change their status to Stamp 2, then they should attend their local Garda National Immigration Bureau office with the relevant documentation. It is noted that, should the applicant obtain Stamp 2 permission, then they may engage in casual part-time employment (further details on the INIS website).

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in questions where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
