My friend who is an army officer received this message from Embassy of Ireland and cannot understand what they mean. I don't understand either. Didn't know what to reply. He's was preparing to come to Ireland for two weeks visit before shortly before the outbreak of COVID-19. His visa application is still at the embassy though. If he consent to this email does it mean he has to start all over again and must submit all documents fresh again? Don't understand.
"Dear Sir/Ma,
Due to the ongoing public health issues with COVID-19, and the continued uncertainty in this State, a decision must be made regarding the continuation of your visa application.
To this end, and due to further travel and logistical issues, along with even greater public health issues, the most practical solution is for office to withdraw your visa application
Upon continuation of events as normal, and cessation of travel restrictions and limitations, you may consider applying again, and this withdrawal will not cause any negative impact on your immigration history in the State.
Please indicate that you accept this solution in the current instance. We require a response within 5 working days. Failure to respond may result in your application being refused.
Visa Office.
