Does anyone know if the process for evetting has changed recently? The reason I ask is, I submitted my application last year on 1st Feb 2022 based on 5 years non-EU stamp 1+stamp 4 residency. Got my acknowledgement letter only in July 2022. Since then I've been waiting for my evetting letter by post...

Yes, it has just been updated now and a PDF is available.
Does anyone have an idea what "Department of Social welfare annual statement " means? How will I get any statement dated for the past 5 years now if I never had them earlier?

That's great. Thanks for your quick responses.

Thanks very much for the clarification. :) I might look to send the documents in Jan then since most offices work at reduced capacity in December owing to holidays anyway. On the same point, how do I calculate the number of days spent outside the state. For ex: if my flight left Dublin on 10th Jan a...

Hi All, I've lived in Ireland since Nov 2016 and plan to apply for citizenship based on living here for 5 years on my Stamp 1 and Stamp 4 visa. In these 5 years, I've been on holidays for a total of about 100 days and in no year have I been out for more than 6 weeks. My question is: 1) Should I appl...
