Good luck Dirtycash.

Looking back through the thread I see INIS also advised you the website was a guide and used the same paragraph as they sent to me yesterday.

It should be borne in mind however that the information contained on the

website is intended to act as a guideline only. It does not limit the

discretion of the Visa Officer in dealing with individual applications.

hello

here is the email i recieved today from inis ( irish immigration dept ) see below -

to me

Thank you for your enquiry.

I am directed by the Minister for Justice and Equality and Defence to refer

to your correspondence of 20/10/2014.

It is open to a visa required National to make a visa application, for any

purpose, the onus resting with the applicant to satisfy the Visa Officer as

to why the visa should be granted. All information that is wished to have

taken into consideration should be included where a visa application is

submitted.

The first step of the visa application process is the completion of an

online application form, which can be accessed via the following link:

https://www.visas.inis.gov.ie. The signed two page summary sheet, along

with all the required supporting documentation must then be submitted to

the Visa Office/Embassy/Honorary Consulate as indicated on the summary

sheet, contacts for which can be found on:

http://www.dfa.ie/home/index.aspx?id=285

Information when making a visa application can be found on the Irish

Naturalisation and Immigration Services website:

http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Irish%20Visa%20Information

It should be borne in mind however that the information contained on the

website is intended to act as a guideline only. It does not limit the

discretion of the Visa Officer in dealing with individual applications.

I also draw to your attention that a visa is merely a form of pre-entry

clearance to seek permission to enter the State; no automatic right of

entry or residency is conferred. Whether a person is permitted to enter and

the exact period for which s/he is allowed to remain is a matter for the

Immigration Officer at the point of entry.

The processing times for Visa Applications vary depending on the volume of

applications lodged and the time it takes for an application to reach the

Visa Section in Dublin from the Embassy in which it was lodged. You should

allow as much time as possible when applying for a visa but a minimum time

of 8 weeks is recommended.

Please ensure that you quote the visa transaction number if making any

enquiries in relation to the application.

Finally, in accordance with the Data Protection Act, 2003 only the

applicant and the authorised reference, as stated on the online application

form, can be provided with information in relation to an application.

Kind regards,
