The person referred to by the Deputy lodged a review application in respect of their EU Treaty Rights application decision on 28 September 2021.

Processing of this application is ongoing at present. As each application is examined under it's own merits, my Department is unable to give an exact time-frame for completion. However, the person referred to by the Deputy can be assured that there will be no avoidable delay in finalising their application.

It is open to the person referred to by the Deputy to contact the EU Treaty Rights Division to request an extension of their Temporary Stamp 4 permission. This request should be sent by Registered Post to:

The application for the person referred to by the Deputy was received by the Undocumented Unit of my Department on 23 February 2022 and continues to be processed. Due to the large number of applications on hand it is not possible to provide a definitive timeframe for a decision to issue.

The processing times of applications will vary depending on the complexity of the application, whether it is a single or family application, the supporting documentation and the vetting process. Applications where there is an existing deportation order in place will require additional processing.

Each application received is assessed individually in accordance with the published criteria, available on my Department's immigration website at: www.irishimmigration.ie/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Undocumented-Policy-Scheme-January-2022.pdf.
