If you are talking about ECCE "grant" ( some discount about 200 euro from the creche after the child is pre school age eligible) I have been granted years before the citizenship application and I got approved without any issue.

Today received approval for my daughter!

Hi Larysa,
hope you are doing well. Did you receive the certificate yet?
Was wondering if they started issuing certificates since covid 19 situation and how long is taking now.

All the best

I know ... the wait sucks ... my husband applied 4 months before me and ended up receiving the citizenship 6 months after me. His application was straight forward and mine more complicated since I was out of the state more than 6 weeks and needed more proof of address than him so I guess it is just ...

Congratulations. When exactly did you apply for your daughter and when was it approved?

Hi, applied early August 2019 and got approved apparently in mid March 2020. Was in advance stage since December 2019 as far as I remember.

My daughter's application was approved on March 11 2020 but unfortunately never received the letter. Because of the corona virus situation I didn't sent emails thinking they were not actively working but yesterday sent one just to make sure it doesn't get forgotten. Received the copy of the letter b...

Today received approval for my daughter!

Congrats! My daughter's file was ready to be submitted to the Minister since December 2019 so fingers crossed will receive the approval too this month otherwise patience ..

My husband used the fist time passport application online after the December 2019 ceremony. Very straight forward application. Got the passport printed and sent in our address 3 days after they received the documents.
We live in Ireland (Dublin) if that matters in this case.

No news yet..applied in August too and through email in December they replied that the application is being prepared to be submitted to the Minister but no news after that ..
I will email again by the end of the month and see if they will change the response

You should be using form 9. Download it and read the checklist part at the end of the form and that should answer the rest of your questions.

I don't think you need to worry, it happened to me and my husband a couple of times too. All I did was resending the same email after a couple of weeks and got replies. I think they receive so many emails that some of them just fall through the cracks.

If Father have received Approval Letter but expecting the Invitation and ceremony, In this situation Should I wait for the full process to finish till getting the passport? before Applying for my children Citizenship or I can start the process to apply for children Naturalisation? and same things f...

I applied early August 2019 for my daughter but I don't expect them to be in contact until they approve it or not so in 6-8 months time at least. Fingers crossed is not going to take longer for kids.

I can confirm the same, I was non EU and took maternity benefit for a couple of months and got naturalized. Best of luck with the new baby!

Received my daughter's passports back along with application number in less than three weeks. I've called them last week and asked to have it returned if possible as I wanted to go on holidays before the school starts so was super lucky and surprised when they returned it today.

My husband got the approval on Monday 15 of July 2019 (he applied end of May 2018), no invite has been issued yet but through email the department said will issue them 2-3 weeks prior to the ceremony.

Asked the same question to the citizenship department through email and their reply was: "Absences totalling 6 weeks or more in a 12 month period will be deducted in their entirety when calculating reckonable residency." According to the response it would be 100 days deducted from the residency. Thi...

My daughter got it for 2 years for the first time ever, I sent the copy of the Irish citizenship certificate ( the Irish passport is not issued yet still with the passport office)
Was processed very quickly as well 3 working days.

No test whatsoever but I there has been articles on the media last year about the possibility to include a language test. See for reference : https://www.thejournal.ie/language-test ... 2-May2018/

Hi there, I am very interested on this topic as well, please let us know if you find out more information. I think you are better off emailing the visa section in INIS about this scenario. Emailed them myself a couple of times and they replied in reasonable time.

Thanks all for all the useful information and responses. Hopefully I get my approval letter soon since I also applied in Dec. 2017. Best of luck to everyone. :) :) I just range them this morning and the lady said my application is complete and has been sent to the minister for a decision! What I do...

Hi, a couple of years ago my mother-in-law visa was refused as well but we actually made the appeal here in Dublin. The approval came in 3-4 days after the appeal but I think the reason for that was because the refusal made no sense, they said she didn't submit our GNIBs for example while the Irish ...

You can ask for a multilingual (birth/marriage) certificate in your home country. In my case I had both birth and marriage certificates issued in multiple languages including English so never needed to translate them. I used them for stamp 4 and then Irish citizenship application and haven't had any...

Just got the invitation for 28 June Waterford! Best of luck everyone.
I applied late September 2018 and second letter late April 2019, approval late May 2019.

When did they reply to you? I’ve sent them an email some time before the approval and had no reply, maybe because the approval was in the way, and now without reply about the ceremony maybe it’s because the comms are in the way. I emailed them yesterday (11 of June), I stated in the subject of the ...

FYI my daughter's re entry visa was processed in 3 working days. I am based in Dublin city centre if that makes any difference.
