Re: Long term residence application

If you've been in Ireland for 5 yrs on work permits then LTR is the one. If you've been here for 8, then you can apply for a Stamp 5, which is de facto permanent residency (in reality it requires renewal each time a passport expires ie 10yrs in most cases). Renewal is a mere formality as long as you...

Re: Stamp 4- Irish spouse registration

Based on the INIS site, it states that we must display our birth certificates, marriage certificarte, passports and proof of address to demonstrate that we live together, when registering. It is my understanding that non-visa nationals do not require either health insurance or proof of finances as ...

Re: Marriage and Family Certificate - Irish Citizenship

Oddly, re marriage, the detailed guidance on the form regarding Status in section 7 skips questions 7.5 and 7.6 entirely.
They're the only Qs without instructions to fill them in.

I wonder why? And if they are not legally necessary? 🤔

Re: General questions - please advise - couldnt find answer anywhere

That is very helpful Vorona. Thank you.

Quick Q. Can the pdf form eg form 8 be typed up and filled in on Acrobat or similar editor or must it be handwritten? (Bar the signed declaration of course).

Re: Stamp 5 query

Some notable differences between EU3 and WCATT: - You are allowed to live outside of the state for no more than 6 months per year on EU3, but only 4 months on WCATT. How long can one stay out of Ireland on a regular Irish spouse stamp 4? (5 yr) If longer than the 4 months you mention for the Stamp ...

Re: Stamp 5 query

Stamp 5 is taking the full 6 months from what I can gather from friends.

And yeah, they'll have to make it properly permanent and not dependent on good character checks every 10 yrs.

Re: Temporary Permission Extended

I'm a bit confused. If IRP/permission is expiring April 1 but had been extended by the extension in Dec to April 20, does this new extension apply again to that April 20 deadline and extend permission further until September? Or does it apply only to permissions that are expiring from April 21 on an...

What is your basis of applying for naturalisation? 3 years with an Irish spouse, or 5 years with your non-Irish spouse?
People can also apply via the 5 year route even though they've an Irish spouse, right? Less documentation that way.

Re: Citizenship delays: FOI and an application for an Order for Mandamus via the High Courts

- Information on my stamp/file from GNIB I've seen a friend's FOI and it had only two GNIB docs. One print out from the GNIB of all stamps issued/renewed and their relevant issue/expiry dates in a table format and one page like a database profile entry with port of entry, Tel number, occupation, whe...

Another extension?

Do you folks think there is going to be another permission extension? Surely there has to be given the recent extension to the lockdown. My sis is waiting on an application (that will involve change of stamp) that is said to come through soon enough. Should she wait as long as possible until automat...

Re: Card replacement programme: Non-EU Dependent of UK Citizen

Hi, Thanks for all the information from everyone on this thread, although some sections are still very unclear! My Wife's current Stamp 4 EU4FAM expires 03/03/2024 yet when on the system it says: "Also under section 1.19 (Do any of these sub-categories apply to you?) are we meant to fill in: Joinin...

Re: Withdrawing citizenship application

Note that they don't always send out confirmations of withdrawal apparently. A friend withdrew as he decided he didn't want to lose his own citizenship. Never got confirmation bar acknowledgement of receipt of letter. He rang a solicitor who said that the dept doesn't tend to run around tying up tho...

Re: Citizenship Applications - Content of Second Letter

Thanks. So it really should be send it to CMU2 so. They should change the wording heh. Also, that 13.3/4/5 part is confusing, isn't it, but as I say, it seems you don't have to fill it in if not a spousal application. https://www.newcommunities.ie/assets/files/pdf/ncpcitizenshipjuly_4.pdf (p40) No f...

Re: Citizenship Applications - Content of Second Letter

@Vorona You say you applied via the 5 year standard non-EEA route despite being married to an Irish citizen. I will do the same and thanks to you will send in my application to CMU1 so. That's OK right? Sorry to hijack but you could answer below I'd really appreciate it. Did you leave section 12 bla...
