Thank you very much for this response. I submitted my application in Jan 2020 and was positive I'd seen that the six week rule also applied while it was being processed and have been adhering to the rule. Lately, I'd begun to question that, as I couldn't find any reference to six weeks after application. This is what I was looking for - unfortunately, I thought that it was six weeks per year and this reads as six weeks for the entire time the application is being processed. Who knows how long that will be?Vorona wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 11:00 amhttps://www.irishimmigration.ie/citizen ... alisation/
"If you are outside the State for longer than 6 weeks after you submit your application, you must notify ISD by letter or email to explain why."
If you leave Ireland for a long period of time, the application can be put on hold until your return.
Could you please add further context on this information? Have you found any source that confirms that this obligation refers to 6 weeks a year?littlerr wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 3:02 pmIt is 6 weeks per year. I don't think they have a legal definition of whether this 6 week period applies to calendar year or the fiscal year starting from the day you submit your application.
As things stand, you should treat it as being the general requirement that you should not be away for more than 6 weeks during any 12 month period (until someone challenges INIS in court).
The idea is simple. You continue to take up the same amount of residency after you submit your application, which allows for an absence of 6 weeks a year.maguis wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 6:21 pmCould you please add further context on this information?

Also, does anyone know if the rule applies for 6 weeks in a row or is the accumulation of days totaling 6 weeks? thanks
While I completely agree with your line of thought, specially because some applications take up to 3 years, it is still a bit grey since the only single place where they seem to mention this rule is on that link where you download the forms and there they seem pretty clear that is 6 weeks max after you apply until you get it and that's it, you need to tell them you've been abroad and they seem to require a reasonable justification for that. (and again, I think it doesn't make sense since before the application is per year).littlerr wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 6:34 pmThe idea is simple.

My colleague was living in the UK for most of the time after the application and got his citizenship approved in around 13 months right before COVID started.
Cheers for this!
