Hi,

Can someone tell me please if I can apply for Irish Citizenship based on the child being Irish? His father is Irish so he got his Irish passport too. I am EU citizen and wonder what is the best way to get Irish citizenship? Based on 5 years residency or based on Irish child.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
May be someone can advise if a Russian citizen and a holder of Finish residence card can travel to Ireland without visa or still need to apply for one?

Thank you

I was thinking about lottery and will play it this year, but what are the chances of winning? Also, my sister will now apply for my mother and i know it is faster process, she can get her GC in a year or so. So after she gets her GC she can file for me as unmarried over 21 y.o. What would be the wai...

Hi, I am a Latvian citizen, residing in Ireland 5 years now. My sister is a US citizen. I have visited US once. What are the chances to move and live in US? Thank you.

I didn't know that i can register her for PPS number, i thought first i have to apply for the residence card and then PPS and etc. If its like that i will do that for sure, and i also remember when i opened my bank account here i did not have any utility bills, so i took a gas bill on my landlord's ...

Thanks Monifé, i was thinking to do the same, only as far as i remember to open a bank account they again asking for the utility bills. haha anyway will go there and ask. And yes, she is my dependant.

Just a quick question. In the application for the residence card check list there is a requirement to provide utility bills in the name of both the applicant and EU citizen. My mom is only 2 weeks here and does not have any utility bills not even a bank account yet. She lives in my house, where all ...

You are right Ben, i meant to say apply for the residence card. Thanks for correcting me:)

No problem at all, i hope if you ever in the same situation you won't have all the troubles i had. Thank you and all the best to you too

Hi, just a quick update. My mom finally got her D visa after we applied 3rd time, so she will be here next week. Then we have to apply for EU treaty rights. But i dont really worry about that after all the breakdowns we had during this time. Thanks again for all your support and advises. I am so hap...

Mummygirl, do you mean that i have to go to Riga and travel back to Ireland together with my mom? Thanks Ben, SOLVIT Latvia are actually very helpfull, they are trying to do something as think, we are still communicating, i have to submit more information, its what i am doing at the moment. So as so...

Thanks guys, i will do it this way, i have lost so much time... i wish i new all that before... mummygirl, what about bank statement? if she is dependent on you Embassy is asking to show them your bank statement with 4 or 5 grand.. i simply dont have this money, but it does not mean that i cannot su...

Thanks mummygirl for this info. Is your mother holder of an Alien passport also? What exactly did you write in the letter? that you invite her for 3 month and going to support her? Did Embassy ask you to provide bank statement showing that you have 4-5 thousand euro? This what my mom has been told i...

Just have a look what reply i've got from SOLVIT Latvia: Irish authoritiy have checked residence place of your mother in Ireland, not in Latvia, therefore any proof of sharing the same household in Latvia is irrelevant. You should submit the documents either where you prove that you live together in...

Hi Acme, i pm to you but it is still in my outbox for some reason and not in my sentbox.. let me know if you got it. Thanks Obie, i sent that link i found on INIS website to INIS itself because they refused a visa, so lets see what they say about it. I started the money transfers to my mom already j...

Thanks acme for your help, i really appreciate it. I never dealt with this sort of problems before so i was totaly lost. Do you think it is a good idea to make a petition to the European Parlament and complain to the Ombudsman? I will try to find a good immigration lawyer see what they say, and you ...

Thanks acme for your info. If its the way you said it seems there is no point even to appeal only on the basis of the same household. I have to start sending her money every month so i will be able to show my statements when we apply next time, it would probably be the end of August. Will ask a lawy...

Hi, as advised here before i emailed SOLVIT with my problem. Here is their reply: With reference to your enquiry, Article 3(2) of Directive 2004/38 states the following: " (2) Without prejudice to any right to any free movement and residence the persons concerned may have in their own right, the hos...

Thanks acme4242 for your reply, i am not gonna leave it like this, its just getting even more ridiculous, firstly i am going to call inis monday morning and see how they explain it, then someone advised to give a call to the immigration council, then a lawyer. What is MEP? member of the European Par...

Just an update, my mom just got a call from the Irish embassy saying that she refus3ed visa again... the reason that she didnt prove her financial situation or something like this, she couldn't tell me exactly as she was so shocked... but we didnt try to prove any financial situation or dependancy o...

Benifa, just wanted to ask you something. My mother went today to the Irish Embassy to apply for a visa again and has been charged 60 Euro for visa, but as we were applying for EU Treaty visa i was sure its free of charge, but receptionist refused to take any docs without paying for visa.

Hi Benifa and thanks for your reply, i called today myself to the Embassy and talk to the girl and find out that she thought that my mom wants a visit visa... but why she thought so i still dont know as she has an application form and a letter from me where she clearly could see what we are applying...
