I had a gap of nearly 6 months in my last year, due to delay in getting my home country passport renewed due to Covid (as was renewing just when the pandemic started) and then IRP taking a few months to renew. I wrote a cover letter explaining the reason and it didn't cause any issue as I got my app...

Got my letter for Dec 5 ceremony end of last week. Btw if you are relying on anpost mail forwarding DO NOT. My invitation letter went to my old address and not the forwarded address I provided to anpost. Luckily we have contact for new tenant in our old house and they were able to let us know that m...

Oooh, great to see invitations coming in. Hopefully mine will arrive in coming days

Just to add to the above. I got approval a few weeks ago and I have travelled after for a month and came back just last week. The passport control officer just asked me about the country I came from and then about how the weather was where I was then proceeded to joke about how the whether is shit ...

Your IRP card is valid until the expiry date or the date you become an Irish citizen, whichever is sooner. In theory, an IRP card should be cancelled on the day of your ceremony. However, that is simply impractical. I doubt if they cancel any existing IRP cards at all. You can travel with a valid I...

Thanks @meself2. It certainly is a minefield. Hopefully someone else might know exactly what the situation is.

Assuming your IRP is in date, you should be fine; airlines will just check the validity on the card itself and on Irish border I'd expect them to either just let you through or quiz you about the journey before doing so (and I hope you notified ISD about your absence if it was more than six weeks, ...

Have my E-vetting disclosure viewed today. I'm really hoping the approval will come quickly. I hadn't heard anything from them since March 2021 then all of a sudden things are moving fast. Hope it will keep up this way. Looks like evetting is taking 9-10 working days to be completed. Here's my timel...

Any Idea on how long it takes between the E-Vetting Permission Letter & the email.

I submitted the letter on the 1st of July, and no email yet.

I posted my permission letter on July 8 and got the email today. Wasn't expecting it so soon as seen others taking much longer.

As far as I know you'll need to list all your previous addresses, so having them handy might be useful.
Here's this guide but I'm unsure about how up to date it is: https://vetting.garda.ie/Content/UserGu ... rGuide.pdf

Cheers for the link. Will check it out.

Just a side question. When did you apply your citizenship application? I am still waiting too. Submitted in May 2021.

Oh I applied November 2020 and only just getting e-vetting. I had given up hope completely

Hi guys, So today I finally received the e-vetting request letter. I will send back the form tomorrow and wait to receive the online link. I am travelling within Ireland for the next two weeks and I want to be prepared incase I receive the link while I'm away from home. My question is, for those of ...

Hi all, I applied for citizenship in Nov 2020 and other than initial communication for more information in early 2021, I have not heard anything from the team. Not even eVetting request. I now see that 2021 applications are receiving eVetting requests and I'm wondering if any other 2020 applications...
