As previously advised to the Deputy, if a person is residing in the Dublin area and has an existing valid permission to be in the State, then they do not need to seek an appointment to renew their permission. Since 20 July 2020 all renewals for the Dublin area are being processed online at: .

Since its introduction, more than 138,000 renewal applications have been completed.  Customers can now apply up to 12 weeks in advance of their current permission’s expiration date and I have significantly increased staff capacity to process the applications on hand due to high demand.

Further information is available on my Department's immigration website at:

If customers are experiencing any difficulties they can contact the Immigration Service Helpdesk at: immigrationsupport@justice.ie who will endeavour to assist them.
