Hello there,
I am filling out my application for citizenship by naturalisation in Ireland and the 6 week absence rule has me very worried. I'm originally from Slovakia and have I've lived in Ireland for over 16 years now.
The thing is that I've usually spent the summer in Slovakia with my grandparents because I didn't get to see them any other times during the year. This was usually for a period of 2 months or so and I am worried this might cause problems for me during the application.
Naturally because of COVID it wasn't possible in 2020 but from 2005 to about 2019 it was.
I'm pretty sure even if these absences are excluded my residence would add still add up to over 5 years in the past 9 but the proofs of residence I have really only covers 2021-2016. Since I was under 17 years old before then I wasn't getting much in the way of official documents addressed to me.
How likely is the 6 weeks absence rule to be an issue for me do you think?
