International Protection Granted, Stamp 4 query- SP v Refugee
I have a client looking to appeal a grant of Subsidiary Protection as he feels he is entitled to a Refugee Declaration (his choice of course, despite very little practical impact in his case). His concern - if he submits the appeal will this cause problems for him registering his Stamp 4 because he is still an 'applicant' for IP? This is as close to an answer as I can find from the IP Handbook on the IPO website but it is in respect of appealing a grant of permission to remain:
Microsoft Word - ~9780984.docx (ipo.gov.ie):
13.6 What happens if I am granted permission to remain but I decide to appeal the protection recommendation from the IPO to the IPAT?
13.6.1 You can still register at your local Immigration Registration Office so your permission to remain in the State (Ireland) can come into effect. However, if you appeal the protection decision, because you are still an applicant for international protection, you will not be able to enter or be in employment, or engage in business, trade or a profession until the outcome of your appeal to the IPAT is known.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Hi Leah. I just had a look at those sections of the Act - not easy to decipher, lots of jumping around, but that looks to be right. Thank you so much!
