Further Temporary Extension of Immigration Permissions Announced until May 2022

The Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee TD, has today announced a further temporary extension of immigration and international protection permissions to 31 May, 2022.

This applies to permissions that are due to expire between 15 January 2022 and 31 May 2022 and includes permissions that have already been extended by the previous eight temporary extensions since March 2020.

The new extension will apply to the same three primary categories of people as before, whose permissions are due to expire between 15 January 2022 and 31 May 2022:

1. Renewal of existing permissions /registrations

   People who hold a current valid permission, or a permission that has already been extended under the previous notice(s).

2. Awaiting first registration

   People granted permission to land at a port of entry on condition they register at Burgh Quay or their local AGS registration office within three months but who have yet to do so.

3. Short stay visas

People in the country on foot of a short stay visa and who have been granted permission to remain for less than three months who may be unable to leave the State and return home due to uncertainties caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.

Since 2 December 2020, customers renewing their permission are no longer required to submit their passport to have an immigration stamp attached by a Registration Office.
