Does anybody know whether INIS have access to UK API data? My FOI request here illustrated that INIS seemed to not to have any record of intra EU travel (only had data for travel outside of the EU) and would therefore only be going only on passport stamps

Hi, we are shortly to apply for citizenship for my American wife and would appreciate some advice on how best to illustrate our travel history We are struggling to come up with an accurate daycount for time outside of Ireland. We have travelled a lot over the last 5 years, especially around the UK a...

In the UK you can ask the home office for a record of all your immigration history including all entry and exit records that the state holds for you for the last 5 years - all the information that the Home Office would access when considering a naturalisation application.

Quick question with (hopefully) a quick answer NOTE: THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE APPLICATION, WHICH IS SUBJECT TO THE HIGH COURT JUDGEMENT When calculating reckonable residence over the 5 year period (spousal route) is it only the days per year IN EXCESS of 42 (6 weeks) that a...

So, appeal is in, but wont be heard until Oct 8. And that is subject to appointment of new judges. If they are not appointed, then it wont be until 2021.

So, over to the minister to pass emergency legislation. But that wont be until after the summer - 2nd half of September.

Great timing, huh!!!

Our passports don’t get stamped but they have all the info on airline database when you check in to flights

Does that include access to domestic UK airline databases between Belfast and a mainland UK airport. You don’t need a passport for them.

My local TD has confirmed that this cannot be dealt with legislatively until the 17 September, but it is the hope that the issue can be dealt with in a single sitting at that time. So even if it is dealt with “pretty quickly once the Dail resumes” we are looking at end Sep earliest before any clarit...

We finally got a statement from the department of justice which is as follows: We are studying the decision carefully and would take any necessary action in consultation with the Attorney General. One can only imagine what that coded statement implies. Clutching at straws, imaginary ones, but is th...

In the UK, there is a 12 months continuous residence requirements, but the law makes clear that absence must not exceed 90 days. The Irish state ought to have done something similar with this 6 weeks. Section 15(1)(c) really does not confer a discretion on the minister, and the judge is right on th...

THIS IS INSANE. My wife has stuck to the 6 week rule this year despite a sick family member in the USA and overseas work commitments. And some judge makes a nonsensical decision and pulls out the metaphorical rug. I feel sick.....we were due to apply tomorrow. Appointment with the solicitor all line...

Hi all, I am applying for citizenship, on a spousal route, having been in Ireland for 8 years and married for 5. I travel a large amount for both my work and leisure - I have literally hundreds of passport stamps in my extra large US passport. I have documented all my travel to support the applicati...
