I am pretty sure that the immigration laws of Ireland do not over this situation. You have to pay the relevant tax ...

None (since I was relatively young with no known health problems).

Is it true that if one apply for WCATT he/she gives up the chance to be naturalised, I heard from someone but not sure? Could someone shine a light on this if they know. No. You could have heard it from the informationary booklet or from it copy on the web, where it says something like that "If you ...

What I do not understand is why asylum applications are considered in Ireland at all. I would imagine that most of the people claiming asylum arrived here from other EU countries. Those EU countries should be considering the applications. How many genuine asylum seekers can afford obtaining a ticket ...

can 3 month tourist (think this is stamp 3) visas be included? The type of your visa does not matter. Visa is a document giving you the limited right to enter the country.

How does one apply for Irish Immigration? No how. There are no immigration programs, no "Green Card lottery", nothing of the kind.

As far as I know: 1) If it does not count for LTR, it probably does not count towards naturalisation either. What kind of stam covers this period?
