LATEST UPDATES

Regularisation Scheme for Documented & Undocumented
The scheme for "Undocumented" immigrants started today 31st January and closes on the 31st July next.
This is NOT for asylum seekers who are "documented" immigrants.
It is very disappointing that the scheme for asylum seekers announced at the start of December last has not be formally announced or details given by the Minister's Department. The only information available that we can find is from Citizen's information and is as follows:

"International protection applicants are not undocumented, but can apply for residence through the scheme. You are eligible if it is at least 2 years since you made your international protection application. The application process is different for international protection applicants. You will be contacted by the Department of Justice with further details"

SO YOU ARE BEING TOLD TO WAIT! (HOPEFULLY FOR NOT TOO LONG MORE)
