Let the Visa-Free Travels begin

BTW, not sure if this info is relevant to this topic but...here I go. When I went to the Garda station with my NAturalisation Cert (issued in Irish) to change my wife's Garda card to Stamp4, the immigration officer behind the counter gave me a blank look and looked at the cert as if it was written ...

Let the Visa-Free Travels begin

They are only requesting naturalized Irish citizen to have their BC certified in the embassy of their country of birth Yep, looks like naturalizsed citizens always have that extra hurdle to jump. Was still thinkiing about it last week when I got the 'verification' form or whatever they call it from...

Hi All, apologies I haven't kept the forum updated for while. After a long wait I finally got my passport earlier this week. Dept of Foreign affairs, put my application on hold because they no longer accept long form of BC or an affidavit. They now require all first time applicants who do not have ...

Hi All As Krb pointed out it seems to be a new rule with passport office (only applied to new Irish though) They sent my application back last week as well asking for Birth Cert to be attested by my home country's embassy. Also my original passport from home country. Reason for birth cert to be atte...

Folks, i received the Form 7 yesterday - There's no mention of 'Approval' in the letter accompanying it. just instructions to take oath at the nearest district court & the fee details. The letter also states 'If Application is granted, a certificate will issue in the name of 'xxx xxx' - I'm confuse...

Called DoJ this morning. Nice lady on the phone told me that she herself printed my Cert yesterday and now it has to be signed & sealed by minister. Once they have a GOOD FEW of them printed, only then they send them to Minister @ Dublin. According to her I could be waiting another 1-2 weeks or even...

Congratulations Adura.

Hi Nanette, May be you can help me on these two : Oath: Do I need to bring anything else except yellow form & photo ID ? Passport: Did you apply passport in person or via passport express ? Any difference ? Are they fussy about documents in passport office for 1st time applicants like us (new Irish)...
