A non-EEA national wishing to join their family in Ireland should apply for a Join Family D visa from their home country or a country where they are ordinarily resident.
The person cited has made an application for an Extension of Visitor Conditions (EVIC) and also as a Spouse of an Irish National (SOIN). These applications are under consideration.
It should be noted that any Extension of Visitor Conditions (EVIC) application will only be granted where the circumstances have changed from the time the person was granted the original visa. EVIC applications are not granted for the applicant to reside with their family. More information is available here: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/extension-of-visitor-permission/
More information about applications as the spouse of an Irish national (SOIN) can be found here: www.irishimmigration.ie/my-situation-has-changed-since-i-arrived-in-ireland/spouse-civil-partner-of-irish-national-scheme/.
The applicant is permitted to remain legally in the State while their applications are under consideration. The person concerned will be contacted as soon as a decision has been reached.
In relation to travel any person intending to travel should ensure that they hold an appropriate immigration permission and any visa required for re-entry to the State.
As an Oireachtas member, you can 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.
