Section 13(1) of the Employment Permits Act 2006 states that a request for a review of a decision to refuse to grant an employment permit must be submitted by the applicant within 28 days of the date of a decision not to grant it.

In the application you refer to, the applicant was the employer, not the employee. As the decision to refuse to grant this employment permit was made on 8 February 2018, the applicant - the employer - had until 8 March 2018 to submit a request for a review.

On 27 February 2018, the Employment Permits Section received correspondence from the employee for whom the employment permit had been applied requesting a review of the decision. In response, on 27 February 2018, the Employment Permits Section replied to the non-national, clearly explaining for a second time that such a request could only be submitted by the applicant - the employer.

However, as no such request was received from the applicant within this timeframe, this application is now closed.

Please note that a refusal to grant an employment permit does not preclude the submission of another application for an employment permit.
