I can advise the Deputy that Afghan nationals are visa required and must have a valid Irish visa before they seek to enter the State. Any visa required national that wishes to enter the State, and remain, for up to 90 days must have a Type C Short Stay Visa. A visa required national that wishes to reside in the State for longer than 90 days must have a Type D Long Stay Visa.

Any person that wishes to make a visa application must do so online at: www.visas.inis.gov.ie/avats/OnlineHome.aspx.

Based on the information supplied, it has unfortunately not been possible to locate any application for the person referred to.

If more information can be provided I would be happy to re-examine your request.

It is important to say that all current immigration avenues remain open for new applications, including visa and family reunification applications.

Ireland supports the entry of migrants through legal pathways, to facilitate legal migration into the State. These include arrangements for various categories of persons, including; workers, business persons and international students.

Details of these legal pathways can be found on the Immigration Service website at the following link: www.irishimmigration.ie/.
