What is IPAS family reunification?
In some instances, families may become split between centres. IPAS Family Reunification is where family members make a request to live in the same IPAS centre. To make a request for IPAS family reunification, please note the following:
Les deux parties souhaitant bénéficier du regroupement familial doivent contacter séparément et par écritl'[email protected], en formulant une demande de regroupement familial.
La demande doit inclure les noms, les numéros TRN, les centres d'hébergement actuels et le type de lien de parenté de toutes les personnes éligibles qui demandent à être regroupées.
Who is eligible for IPAS family reunification
Les membres de la famille proche qui sont actuellement demandeurs d'une protection internationale, notamment :
- Mari, femme ou partenaire,
- Les enfants mineurs (âgés de moins de 18 ans) accompagnés de leurs parents ou tuteurs et
- Les adultes ayant des frères et sœurs mineurs à charge (enfants de moins de 18 ans).
Les membres de la famille à charge dont la situation de dépendance peut être prouvée. Par exemple, les parents d'adultes qui ont besoin de soins ou d'une prise en charge médicale. Remarque :
- IPAS must be satisfied that both parties wish to reside together. One or both parties may be contacted by IPAS in order to confirm that this is the case.
- If eligible family members can be accommodated in the IPAS accommodation location that one or more of the family already reside in, IPAS will facilitate.
- The ability of IPAS to facilitate eligible family re-unification requests is subject to the availability of suitable IPAS accommodation.
Please note that people who have received a decision on their international protection application and have been declared a refugee, granted subsidiary protection status or permission to remain for humanitarian reasons, are not eligible to be accommodated by IPAS.
Please note that there is currently an extended waiting period for approved transfers due to limited capacity within IPAS accommodation.
It should also be noted that IPAS family re-unification is different from the Family Reunification under the International Protection Act 2015 which gives certain family members an immigration permission allowing them to live in Ireland with the holder of an international protection declaration.
