The Employment Visa application referred to by the Deputy was created on the 12/01/2024.

Once the applicant is satisfied with their application they should click “submit” and print a copy of the “Summary Form”.

The summary form contains some of the information they have entered. It will also contain instructions on what they are required to do next in order to submit their documentation.

The instructions will differ depending on which country they are applying from.

They should lodge the summary form together with the relevant fee and supporting documentation with the Irish Embassy/Consulate/Visa Office as soon as possible. They should make sure that the supporting documentation is as up to date as possible. Only upon receipt of the necessary documentation, can the visa application be processed further.

The summary sheet and supporting documentation has not been received by the relevant office to date.

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: IMOireachtasMail@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.
