If they stamped her passport indicating that she was refused entry I would suggest that she applies for a new passport because this basically renders it useless for any kind of travel. There is a perception that Brazilians are entering Ireland and working illegally, which is true to some extent. Its...

You need 5 years reckonable residence, so if you have 5 stamps which for example equal 3 years thats not enough- your application will be refused and returned to you. The immigration officer probably just glanced over the stamps and didnt pay much attention to the duration of the permission to remai...

Time spent on a work visa/authorisation counts towards the 5 year residence requirement. However once you have the 5 years it is likely your application will take between 2.5 and 3 years to process as there is a huge backlog.

You can apply for 'regulier onbepaalde tijd' after 5 years. I believe you have to wait another year after this to apply for naturalisation but you should check this with your 'Gemeente'. 'Deze verblijfsvergunning kunt u alleen aanvragen als u: – vijf jaar of langer in Nederland woont met een verbl...

Permanent residency does not really exist in Ireland. You need to live in Ireland for 5 years before you are able to apply for naturalisation. After about 2.5-3 years you will find out if you have been granted citizenship, after which you can apply for a passport.

Yes, you can change from being a visitor to being a student and it would not technically be called a visa- more like permission to remain as a student which is a bit different. You need to register and pay the fees, get a letter proving this, and you need to take some bank statements showing you can...
