I was in a similar situation and had 1 or 2 years where I was out of country for more than 6 weeks. But that being said, out of those 6 weeks, 3-4 weeks were due to my work activities and business travel - which I couldn't avoid. What I did - split those absences in two and on a sheet I provided tw...

Hi, unfortunately there is no right hand thumb rule on this but if you follow other thread on this topic , its suggested to cover the days you were outside >6 weeks. In your case 53+67 days. not to scare you and I'm not 100% sure but gap between stamp is not good but there is nothing you can do abou...

Hi, You applied on 10th August and expected to get your visa, passport, travel , accommodation (thou you already sorted before visa approval), shopping (being realistic) within one month!! Can you clarify also , on what date you received approval letter from WIT, is it possible you waited too long t...

Thanks littlerr, those are the three documents needed or is there any thing more needed and I'm missing ?

Thanks Sir, is there any other documents too that needs to be included or just those 3 ?

Hi ,

What all documents are needed for LTR application based on stamp1 and stamp 4.

1) Do we need to provide copy of all pages of passport ?
2) Do we need to provide copy of all previous GNIB/IRP cards?
3) what exactly means by copy of applicant's work permits ?

Thanks Littlerr, you are heart and soul of this forum always been very resposive :) Non-EU after 5 years (2 years CSEP + 3 years Stamp 4), I understand,: Can apply for LTR and naturalization application together, correct ? If approved, IRP card (Stamp 4) for 5 years is provided ? By chance, do you k...

Thanks hako, great information. I'm looking to apply for LTR based on 2 years CSEP and 4 years Stamp 4. From your story, I got little more information about the process.

Can I also ask after LTR, you still have to register for IRP card and what is the validity of IRP card (2/3/5/10 years)?

CR001 why are you keep merging different threads and questions ? Main topic of my recent questions is LTR , it's very confusing .

Hi, I'm having some confusion about Long term Residency and if someone can please help: 1) Is it ok to apply for LTR along with naturalization application or its not recommended ? 2) How long it takes for LTR application to process and approve by department ? 3) After LTR is approved, IRP card provi...

In addition , its better to inform the department about this change as far as I remembered permit states - if there is any change in details mentioned in permit changes inform them and 'Title is mentioned on permit'. There should not be implications if it's promotion with no change in original respo...

No , there is no impact and it's a common scenario , issue is if there is change in responsibility or title change from engineer to consultant that time they may question. If you want to be on safe side, you can write an email or letter informing the department about this change with letter from HR ...

Hi, I was living in a shared accommation where all bills were included in rent and no lease. For Form 8, naturalization application as proof of address , I have asked my landlord to write a letter confirming I was living in the house. Could anyone please suggest what all things should be mentioned i...

Hi expats, I need your advice and suggestions as I'm confused about right time to apply for naturalization. I have completed 5 years in Ireland and I'm elegible to apply for naturalization.

Hi all, I'm trying to get my 3 proofs of residence for the last 5 years together, and all is looking pretty good except for the first year, as during this time I had no utilities in my name, I used paperless bills for my mobile provider at that time (Meteor) who no longer exist so I can't download ...

I think they have started accepting now. Only fully completed forms.

I had a chat with an immigration solicitor friend, and he is of the same opinion that this is based on the application date rather than the calendar year. They had a few rejected naturalisation cases and they were all calculated based on application date. I’m interested to know whether it’s simply ...

Hi, Based on the information that i received from citizenship department via email, it is per calendar year. also based on this reply, it seems that if your work absences are not for a period longer than 6 weeks in a year, that means you dont need to explain them or list them. " Thank you for your ...

My apologies , it's *absence* in subject line. I'm not able to edit and fix the subject line .

From Naturalization Application Form 8 : "Point 5.6 Have you been absent from the State for more than 6 weeks per annum in any of the past 5 years?" My question is : How '6 weeks per annum in any of the past 5 years' , will be calculated ? a) Based on Calendar year : Jan 2019 - Dec 2019 , Jan 2018 -...

Hi, Please take a minute to advice. I am trying to collect address proof for last 5 years.
