Re: Spouse Citizenship Query

I don't think applications of spouses are processed any quicker than other applications. Certainly not based upon my experience (23 months after application and still waiting). The only real advantages I can see are that you only have to submit 3 year's of residency evidence, not 5, and that you can...

I wouldn't waste money getting a notarized copy, that's likely to cost more than just ordering another original birth and marriage certificate from the Irish state. https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/b...

Re: Police Clearance Certificate - NI and Scotland/UK

https://www.mygov.scot/police-record points you break towards ACRO for a certificate for visa purposes. PSNI also point you in that direction if you need a PCC. So it looks like the ACRO PCC would cover the whole UK. Whilst the sites explicitly list countries they know accept PCCs... It sounds like ...

The new system for proof of residency was introduced earlier this year, and applications typically take 18-24 months to process, so there'll be no one who has completed the process who applied under the new points based residency assessment system.

Re: Bank statements, consecutive 6 months?

It sounds to me like you already have 6 consecutive months. Your years of residency proof don't have to be calendar years. You have October-March statements, so why not apply based upon residency from October 2017-September 2022, for example?

I don't think so, no. It looks like that option is if they fall into a category other than solicitor. They're supposed to have striked out anything that didn't apply.

Re: Long Term Irish Visa for Naturalised Citizens who don't have Irish Passport

As an Irish Citizen, I don't think there's any category of Visa you can apply for. You don't need a Visa to enter or stay in Ireland, just your citizenship, the easiest way to prove your entitlement to this is with an Irish Passport.
