Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 December 2025
467. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the reason a person (details supplied) has not received a response to their spousal visa appeal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [70931/25]
View answerI can advise the Deputy that the visa appeal referred to was launched on 14 March 2024.
All visa applicants are advised that the responsibility is on them to provide as much information in support of their application as they feel is necessary. Guidelines in this regard are posted on our website. People that carefully follow these guidelines have an improved prospect of receiving a positive decision.
It should be noted that visa appeals are dealt with in strict chronological order. A decision will be issued to the applicant as soon as full consideration has been given by a Visa Appeals Officer.
The person concerned can now directly check the status of their visa appeal on the Immigration Service’s Customer Service Portal. They can register for, or log in to their existing account, at: https://portal.irishimmigration.ie/en/
As an Oireachtas member, you can also request the status of individual immigration cases 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 Question process.
