UPDATE: Changes to Renewable Visa Stamps
|
|
|
As previously advised a change has been made to the regulations with regard to Renewable Visa Stamps for Doctors working in Ireland. From July 1st 2009, it is now required that any Doctor wishing to work in Ireland must have their Visa renewed on a ‘Type 1 Stamp’ synchronised with fixed-term working contracts with a duration of six months issued by the HSE. On foot of a request from the IMO to meet with the Department of Justice with a view to discussing the implications and effects this will have on this vital group of Doctors in the medical profession, a meeting was held on Tuesday 15th September 2009 between the IMO and members of the Immigration Policy Division of the Department of Justice.
At this meeting representatives of the IMO outlined the difficulties faced by non-EU doctors as a result of the changes to the visa regulations. As a result it was agreed that the IMO would draft a number of proposals as to the possible future operation of visas for non-EU doctors after which a further meeting will be held with the Department.
A meeting of the IMO Non-EU Graduate Committee took place on 21st October 2009 and this issue was a key agenda item for discussion by the Committee. The IMO is currently finalising proposals on the possible future operation of visas which will be forwarded to the Department for their consideration after which a further meeting between the IMO and the Department will be scheduled. In the interim the new arrangements will remain in place. |
