The person referred to by the Deputy holds a Stamp 3 permission, which expires on 16 July 2025.

There is no open application with my Department to change the immigration status of the person concerned.

As the Deputy will be aware, registrations for people living outside of the Dublin area are processed by the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) through the Garda Station network. It is open to the person concerned to contact their local Immigration Office in the first instance to request a change of stamp.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility at INISOireachtasMail@justice.ie, 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 Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in the cases where the response is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
