Ireland Visitor Visa Refusal

[duiter]

Dear all,

Have you ( or your girlfriend ) applied Ireland visitor visa ( or any type of visa ) and got rejected ?

Do they ( Ireland Immigration Dept / Consulate/ Embassy ) give "special word" ( or "special mark ) to the passport that belongs to someone who got Ireland visa application rejected ?

Thanks

I assume all passports that have been refused visa would comek up on their system once a person reapplied to the same country

Thanks for your reply

The reason I ask is if there is mark or refusal 'symbol' on passport due to Ireland visitor visa, when she applies visitor visa to other countries, other embassies /consulates will see that this girl has been refused by other country immigration

The UKBA put a little stamp in the passport with a reference number, which alludes to the case file, any Border Official or Visa Officer will know what it means.

I suspect that the Irish visa officers would make a similar entry.

Don't mean to pry

Has she made applications to many other countries before ?

You can re submit a fresh application for entry clearance (visa) refusals do happen. I find when dealing with the Irish Consulate in BKK they dont make any decisions the passport will go a Kuala Lumpur they can never make a decision so they will send it to Ireland.

Yes, she wanted to go to USA for holiday 1.5 years ago, and again wanted to go to Australia for holiday 9-10 months ago but she got visitor visa refusal

I saw "special marks" on her passport - I do not know what is means

if she gets another special "mark/stamp/symbol" from Ireland Embassy, it will be much more difficult when she applies visitor visa to, for example, Japan, NZ, or other western countries

She just "managed" to get visitor visa from Korea and India

Thanks

Whether the Consulate marks the passport or not, your girlfriend would still need to declare that she has previously been refused a visa.

Thais don't require a visa to visit Korea, assuming you mean South Korea.

As I said in my earlier post it indicates that a visa has been refused, nothing really wrong with these stamps, providing she declares that she has previously been refused visas. I suppose a visa officer might be inclined to look more carefully if there are too many.

None of our business, and not relevant to this topic.

As theoldgit says, most (all?) embassies do make a mark in a passport when a visa has been refused. I wouldn't be surprised if these days there is also a data base they could consult.

However, this should not have any effect on a future application as each application is, or should be, judged on it's own merits; whether made to the same country again or a different one.

The only problem would come if she attempted to hide the past applications and refusals by not declaring them when asked. I have seen a UK refusal notice where the reason for refusal was simply because the applicant had answered 'No' where it asks if she had ever applied for a visa to another country, when she actually had previously applied to the USA and been refused.

Of course, the reasons for those past refusals need to dealt with adequately for any future application to be successful.
