The Extension of Work Permit Conditions (EWPC) application from the person referred to by the Deputy continues to be processed by my Department.
It is important to note that no two applications are the same and some take longer than others to process. Each EWPC application is evaluated individually and the time taken to process an application varies based on a number of factors such as the number of applications on hand, the complexity of the case and the quality of the application received.
Applicants can now directly check the status of their immigration application on the Immigration Service’s Customer Service Portal. They can register for, or log in to their existing account, at: [www.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.
