I note the case to which the Deputy refers regarding visa application documents. Under the Data Protection Act we cannot release information relating to this case. It is open to the applicant to submit a subject access request (SAR) or FOI request on their own behalf to the Department of Justice to obtain the information requested.
Policy and procedure related to the provision of visas is a matter for the Department of Justice.
