2438. Deputy Barry Ward asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration if his attention has been drawn to a stamp 4 visa renewal (details supplied); if the renewal will be expedited; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [62412/26]

The person referred to by the Deputy applied to renew their immigration permission on 29 July 2026 and this application is currently in the queue for consideration.

The Registration Office provide a live application processing date broken down by stamp category, which is updated every Monday, and is available at the following link: www.irishimmigration.ie/registering-your-immigration-permission/how-to-renew-your-current-permission/renewing-your-registration-permission-if-you-live-in-the-republic-of-ireland.

I am happy to inform the Deputy that the time taken for a Stamp 4 renewal application to be reached for processing after submission has been significantly reduced in recent weeks, from over 17 weeks to fewer than 11 weeks. Work is continuing to further reduce this timeframe.

The person concerned can now directly check the status of their immigration application on the Immigration Service’s Customer Service Portal. They can register for, or log in to their existing account, at: portal.irishimmigration.ie/en/.

As an Oireachtas member, you can also 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.
