Delays on Issuing Temporary Stamp 4 and EU FAM Five-Year Cards

We have noted considerable delays within the EU Treaty Section which is a cause for concern for many of our clients. Rather than decisions on their applications after 6 months, some have received temporary two month visas and a request for further documents! Original documentation was always returned rather promptly but we have daily requests from clients seeking the urgent return of important documentation which remains with the Department for several weeks. We hope that matters proceed as normal and within reasonable time frames as soon as possible as such delays cause genuine problems for clients who wish to travel, work and maintain their employment in the State.
