200. Deputy Joe Carey asked the Minister for Justice to provide an update on a residency matter (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27653/24]

I can advise the Deputy, if a parent or guardian wishes for a non-EEA student to take up residence in Ireland to attend a primary or secondary school, they must:

• Register the child in an appropriate private fee paying school

• Pay the appropriate school fees before their arrival in Ireland

In the case of a boarding school student, they must provide a letter from the school confirming that it will provide all necessary accommodation for the student

Further information regarding the immigration arrangements for non-EEA students who wish to attend a primary or secondary school in Ireland, is available on my Departments website at:

I can further advise the Deputy, that Afghan nationals are visa required and must have a valid Irish entry visa before they seek to enter the State.

Any visa required national that wishes to enter the State, and remain, for up to 90 days must have a Type C Short Stay Visa. A visa required national that wishes to reside in the State for longer than 90 days must have a Type D Long Stay Visa.

Any person that wishes to make a visa application must do so online at:
