The man, who has a permit to work in a restaurant in Ireland, has succeeded in his challenge to the visa refusal
Dublin: The High Court verdict came as a relief to the Indian chef, who had been denied a visa because he lacked the necessary skills to make tandoori chicken. The Hon. Justice Marguerite Bolger of the High Court rejected the Department of Justice’s decision to reject the visa application, ruling that the government’s action was not legally valid for a variety of reasons. The court also suggested that the visa denial decision be reconsidered.
The government denied the visa because the chef was unable to provide recipes for various dishes required in Ireland. In court, the restaurant owner and visa applicant stated that he was hired to prepare Indian food. The Justice Department, however, denied the visa.
A work permit for a tandoori chef in an Indian restaurant in the Galway region was obtained in June 2020. He then applied for a long-term visa. He was asked what kind of food is cooked in Ireland during a phone interview as part of this. He responded that it was Indian food, which included porotta.
The next question was whether he could prepare dishes such as chicken tikka. He responded that it was not part of his job. He was then denied a visa because he was not qualified to work in Ireland. The department also accused the employer of not searching for qualified Irishmen for this position before giving him a job.
He then filed an appeal. After that too was rejected, the High Court was approached.
The court noted that the applicant had previously worked as a tandoori chef and the employer wanted to make them. The decision of the justice minister was not logical.
