Dear Sirs,
I have tried on numerous occasions to contact an official of the visa section regarding my visit, but the phone line between 3-4pm is always engaged. My question is that I went to the visa section on Merrion road yesterday, explained that I will be studying Kung Fu in china, and I did not know whether my trip counted as Tourism or study. Their answer was that I should put it down as study on the form. When I presented an e-mail (from the school to me) to the visa office, explaining that they were willing to have me study there, the person at the desk said that I need an official invitation from the school, stamped by the school. I asked her if I then need form JW202, and I was met with confused looks, eventually saying that I didn't. This seems an odd mixture of a tourist visa and a student visa as regards documentation. I have since e-mailed the school requesting the letter, but as I plan to fly on the first of January, and I guess the visa section shuts down for christmas, I'm not sure if I will be able to process it in time. Is there any information on closing times over Christmas?
As it costs me about as much as the visa would to travel to dublin and stay the night, I am not exactly enthusiastic about repeateed trips of that kind. any information on any of my questions is more than welcome.
Yours sincerely,
Mr.Chapman
