If you are from a visa-required nation, then you cannot travel to Ireland without one.
I still don’t understand your issue though. There are a LOT of law firms along the border. Quite a few of them practise in both ROI and NI. Have you contacted any?
A quick Google search on ‘Newry Dundalk solicitor’ returned a number of firms who have offices in both cities and practise in both jurisdictions.
How you can get a link to virtual ceremony? I have not received any email.nojoyfrominis wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 2:07 pmThe link for virtual ceremony on 27th April is working for me.

Just wondering has anyone received a naturalisation Certificate in the last week or today ?
I have submitted my affidavit on 1 Feb.. no update so far and I have sent many mails ..no reply
Please do an update here.
Many Thanks
After repeated emails they replied me back saying they haven't received the payment which I had send back in Jan 2020, even though they had acknowledged the receipt of it that time. Now I'm in the process of paying again online.
Few of my friends had send the documents in first week of Feb and they already received the certificate. So keep on emailing them till you get a reply.
Virtual ceremony? Can anyone please explain what this is, I thought they're only doing affidavits and no physical or online ceremonies?

Finally... Received the certificate this morning
Hopefully you will get it soon as well. Thanks everyone for the help throughout this journey.
Thanks a lot for sharing! I received my certificate last week and there was no mention of virtual ceremony. Good to know that I should expect a link in my inboxluckyfish1985 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 10:30 pmhttps://www.thejournal.ie/irish-citizen ... =shortlinkchai wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 8:45 pmVirtual ceremony?

Congrats!
No. You are an Irish citizen from the day you got your naturalisation certificate. The virtual ceremony is purely for ceremonial purposes and has no legal effect.
I have already got my certificate of naturalisation and may not be able to attend this virtual ceremony because I would be @ work at 7pm on the 27th April. If there is no legal implications I better not to attend. What is your take on this.littlerr wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 11:47 amNo. You are an Irish citizen from the day you got your naturalisation certificate.

(In contrast, a live ceremony pre-pandemic is legally binding and applicants must attend it to be recognised as an Irish citizen.)
Can we say once you get the cert you can apply for passport without waiting for the ceremony?littlerr wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 11:47 amNo. You are an Irish citizen from the day you got your naturalisation certificate. The virtual ceremony is purely for ceremonial purposes and has no legal effect.

Thank you for the clarification.nojoyfrominis wrote: ↑Sat Apr 24, 2021 6:29 amYes you can apply passport online but do not send documents as they are only processing emergency apps till level 4

In a bit of a conundrum here and would appreciate any help/advice/pointers.
Its been 7 weeks and I haven't received the cert of naturalisation yet. I've written to them and have not heard back from the department. I wrote to the minister ccing them earlier today.
Is there anything I can do? I find this incredibly odd. I know that it was received a day after I sent it compliments of an post tracking.
Incredibly weird how there's absolutely no response from the department! Of course, the automatic response has to read "You should note that sending repeat emails simply adds to the burden of staff and will inevitably delay a response to your particular query." only to later read "Given the volume of e-mails we are currently experiencing Citizenship Division will not be in a position to respond to any query in relation to an approved application for a certificate of naturalisation or an invitation to the next citizenship ceremony. "
Oy vey!
