Yes. The clock starts when they receive your application package & they have it. Right now, with no glitches, it takes about nine months. You might want to order documents for your passport. It'll be a long wait & then you'll want to do the other kids. Better to have extra set.The passport requires less documentation too.Tams wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 11:33 amHello
Just wondering what the experiences have been like for folk going through this process when I stumbled across this forum.
I have applied for my daughter on the basis of her Irish grandfather. Both my parents are Irish and I honestly did not realise that automatically confers citizenship on me. Will be looking into getting myself a passport when I get all my documents returned!
Anyway, we are based in the UK and my daughter LOVES languages. She is looking to work in France and also looking at the possibility of studying in Ireland. We will get this sorted for her and then my other 2 children as there is no rush for them.
It took me sooo long to sort out getting my documents together etc that I am counting my application from March rather than Oct.
Applied online: October 23 ish!!!! (No option to pay though!

P.S. - you can do the other 2 kids together later but it adds up.
