Applied online for FBR on Wednesday, 4/3/20 which all got paid & went through ok. Waiting on docs coming back from mums successful passport application. I Will update when I send my paper docs through. Ps I noticed the FBR paper application asks for a stamp, business card or headed letter for the a...
They told me that my docs will be posted 4 weeks after my passport was dispatched. Super inconvenient! Have you had urs back yet ? If so, how long did it actually take. Also where are you in the world. I’m in Scotland. I’m assuming that our location/s will also have a bearing on the length of time ...
I am based in Bristol and I have always used a photo booth for all my visas and passport photos and never had any issues with them , you can get your photos done for the Irish passport too now in boots and other retailers plus I have had my US student visa photo taken on the same one . Passport app...
Hi all. Currently working on a joint FBR application with my sister through our paternal grandmother. (We have been "working on it for years", but a surprise pregnancy has been a swift kick to the pants!) At this point, we are just waiting on the last few documents to be mailed to us. Today, I rece...
When you do finally receive the FBR certificate and subsequently apply for a passport. Do u need to send them all the birth, marriege and death certs again for the passport or does the FBR cert cover that aspect of the eligibility checks at that stage ? I am based in Bristol and I have always used ...
I’m based in ROI so most of my visas are for UK. They use Teleperformance as their partner now as opposed to VFS, so unfortunately I haven’t any idea how VFS works. I don’t expect them to be any different though. I don't like using them and prefered going to the embassies but so many use VFS now an...
Yeah I fully agree. Good luck with the visa. Tourism visas are normally fairly quick and they won’t give her any hard time. Thank you and I'll keep you posted, Just to ask have you had to use the VFS visa application centre before for Ireland for a short stay visa yet? Or are you based in the ROI?
I don't want to chance it with my wife travelling into the Republic from the North, too risky going by coach and I read about a lady whom was a resident in GB but was flying to Dublin and then was meant to get a connecting flight but didn't get on because the lady didn't have a transit visa and was ...
Well if your wife requires a visa to enter Ireland, she would just have to apply for that. Whether she has a PR in the UK or not is irrelevant. The only exception is: If you were exercising EU Treaty in the UK, she might be able to travel to Ireland without a visa. Did she obtain her PR based on yo...
You should check inis website or contact visa office first to find out if visa is required for your spouse. It can depend on where your spouse reside, what kind of documents she holds etc. If she needs a visa it is usually pretty straightforward process and it is free for family members of EU citiz...
Short term visit visa (Type C Visit) requirements are the same, regardless of whether you accompany her or not. In most countries she needs to apply for her application online and schedule for an appointment with the local embassy or the visa centre to take all the documents and biometrics. Thanks ...

I do know we need to apply online via AVIATS system and apply for a short tourist visa . Please help if yo...
Hi, I'm a UK citizen exercising EU treaty rights in Ireland along with qualifying family member. My job offer has been on hold possibly due to the brexit situation. However, i didn't wait and moved to Ireland and rented a place and making arrangements to go self employed while waiting for jobs to f...

At last my FBR journey is over now that I have received my Passport Card today , in total the whole process has taken 13 months and 2 weeks but it's worth it. My time line FBR online - 28/12/18 FBR app received in Ireland - 06/02/19 Address confirmation/citizenship e-mail - 11/11/19 FBR received - 1...
Hi, I got told my FBR application had finally been approved a few weeks ago (17th Jan) and that I will be added to the FBR register. They told me there is a delay on printing certificates - I contacted them today and was told there is still a delay. Does anyone know if it is possible to apply for a...
Has there been any inkling that the Irish gov May remove the grandparent descent FBR route?? I believe it is in the Irish constitution and would therefore require a referendum to remove. It's also in the constitution that non-resident Irish nationals (what we are hoping to become!) have no entitlem...
Hi all!long time lurker whilst going through the FBR process! Applied online - November 2018 Docs received - March 2019 (not sure why such a delay!) FBR received - 18/01/20 I’ve now submitted the passport application form online and pulled together the documents that I think are required and had th...
I wanted to send off my passport application this weekend or next but after asking my college teacher to witness and sign my witness section on the vericatoon form . I wasn't sure if I have my verication form signed with my witness details then this dosen't need a stamp but only the copy of state ID...
Regarding the witness I had problems getting any witness, doctor, bank manager etc who was comfatable in doing it. In the end I went on a website for finding lawyers where you can en-masse send an email to all lawyers in your area to ask them to witness your FBR form. Fortunately I was able to find...
Thank you, I also saw another post where the person said her Nationwide building society manager did it for free....certification of documents that is. Employing a Notary/solicitor gives peace of mind that everything is done correctly but I haven’t had any quotes done yet. Hi DRodgers , I wouldn't ...
My thinking was that if I was due to get onto the FBR in the next month or so, then I could pre-emptively go through the passport application process, upload a photo etc so I could get one of the identity forms and sort witnesses and all the rest out before it arrives, and then pop it straight back...
