i think you are wrong they are looking police clereances from your country of origin and all the other countries you have resided before coming to Ireland so you should contact the relavant embassies not the garda station in order to obtain police clereance cert

Look luck

Thanks for that, I still dont understand why does it takes so long,
But there is nothing we can do so keep waiting for this letter

It’s good to hear the update, me too submitted the application for LTR on 15th August 2006, I didn’t hear anything at all yet, or asked for any other documents, Is the processing very very slow or they lost my file? I tried to ring them but couldn’t get through I can see Maria applied on 14th ...

thats' the Biggest lie, because i read some where that the DOJ only have 6000 LTR application in hand, So theyhave been processing the application received in July for last 8 months? i dont think so, its Just an excuse DOJ wont be happy to see many people becoming permenant residents, Police clerean...

may be of some interest

Just an add on , the real problem with the LTR is , its not in law yet that LTR should be granted to person who has 5 yeras legal residence in ireland, they are processing appllications as an Administrative scheme, and of course its a law in all other parts europe execept Denmark and UK, all these c...

i dont think its a matter of lack of resources in DOJ, this delay is cauesed by the new minister and his new policies,when i followed up my application in july the DOJ told me they are delaing with the application received in july-06, i called up again in dec-07 they have the same story of course i ...

heard there is now a secret agenda in DOJ, They deliberately delaying the processing of Long Term Residency applications for 2 +years I guess they want to bring in some new legislation And further more rang up the migrant support asked them can they find out why does it this long process, or where i...

hope this explains

I think they are delaying the processing of applications in purpose, I mean it doesn’t take more than a hour to find out you are eligible or not, then why does it take too long surely they cant have more than 10000 applications , we have accept the fact that Foreigners are not welcome here ,

The processing time for longterm residency is went up to 14 months(Update is in Inis.gov.ie), This is only official but the processing time will be much more longer, so we all have to wait ......

dont know what to say

Irish govenment is milking the immigrants nicely , by charging them 1500 for work permits, 100 for Registration (even if you have unlimited WP they will only give permission to remain stamp for only one year),100 for re-entry visa,and if you have Fly this could be much more and the sad thing is they...

Green Tea,
Yes applicable to all europe except Ireland,UK and denmark (they deceided to opt out from this eu regulation as they have so called 'spacial arrangement')
But if the Immigration residence come in place this will be added to the legislation

hope this helps

The only thing about LTR is that the entitlement is not covered by any law, which means its entirely up to them to say yes on no to the applicant, I guess there is nothing we can do apart from waiting(source of this info is a solicitor) Good luck to everyone who waiting for a decision,I have been wa...
