I have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned entered the State on 22nd October 2015 and was registered as a student on Stamp 2 conditions between 23rd November 2015 and 25th October 2016.

It is noted that the person concerned has not made contact with INIS Residence Division in respect of their position in the State, and there are no applications pending with INIS. If the person concerned wishes to change or extend their immigration status in the State, then they should make contact with the INIS Residence Division.

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 specifically 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 Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
