The person referred to by the Deputy created on-line Employment visa application on 23 June 2022. Supporting documentation and relevant fees were received on 12 July 2022 in the Abu Dhabi visa office. Further documentation was received in the Abu Dhabi Visa office on 15 December 2022.

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

The person referred to by the Deputy will be notified as soon as a decision has been reached by a Visa Officer.

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 (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 Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
