The person concerned was granted permission to enter and reside in the state as a beneficiary under the Irish Refugee Protection Programme (IRPP) Humanitarian Admissions Programme (known as IHAP). The person arrived in Ireland on 7 May 2020 and is required to register their immigration permission with their local Immigration Office. On production of the required documents, they will be granted a stamp 4 permission for 3 years duration, which is renewable.
The Registration Office in Burgh Quay closed to the public on 22 October 2020 following the introduction of Level 5 restrictions under the Government’s Framework for Living with Covid-19. The decision was taken in line with public health guidelines, for the safety of our customers and staff. First-time registrations require the taking of fingerprints and therefore cannot be done online. The Office will reopen as soon as Level 5 restrictions are lifted and appointments will be available to people living in the Dublin area who are required to register for the first time.
