Hi. My husband and I are hoping to go for holiday this summer. I am Irish and he is stamp 4 holder. Does he need schengen visa if we are travelling together in Europe? I know about re entry irish visa but unsure if he needs visas travelling with me. Thanks As long as he does not have stamp4EUFAM ty...

According to the application form “ The original of your current passport and any previous passports valid during periods of residence in the State, together with a photocopy of the biometric page of each passport.” But if you feel including the entire pages in your passport will help your applicati...

Thanks Rosay36. So you only did the biometric page (containing name, dob etc) of every passport u had, is it?

Just the biometric Page you don’t need to include the entire pages in your passport.

In my case, I received letters after my application requesting further documentation and then an acknowledgment all from Team 2. Sent an email requesting an update on my application,i got a response from Team 1. Sent another email after a few months, got response from Team4. Few weeks ago I received...

Hello all. I would greatly appreciate if someone could answer my query. I am about to submit my application for naturalisation based on my 5 years residence in Ireland. I know I have to send my original passports along but should I make a copy of every single page or just the first one containing t...

I am going to apply soon but I can not see any where on the naturalization form they are asking about 6+ weeks absents from the state , so where can we declare them ? I couldn,t find anything like that on application form anymore. [/quote] You could always include a cover letter along with your natu...

No update since I received the second letter

My heart goes out to you guys it must be frustrating waiting this long and still no decision on your application. Fingers crossed you will get your approvals very soon. As for me, the day i was told my application was at the final stages was the same day someone else from the department told me I wa...

Application Based On: 5 years residency
Applied On: August 17. 2017
Application received On: August 18, 2017
Acknowledgement & Passports: August 23, 2017
Second Letter: April 11th 2018
Approval: Pending

I applied in Aug 2016 under the old application. Emailed them yesterday to see if any update and was told that it's in the advanced stage of processing, What exactly does that mean? I think it means that your application has been submitted to minister for decision. Once it back from minister office...

Ohhhh is that right? Thanks rozay36 👌👌 the rules of what documents needed are quite confusing to be honest. Is there a thread I could check here for documents they submitted for themselves and their partner from successful applicants in Northern Ireland? I could only find this thread https://www.im...

I had the exact same response from them. Apparently I’m in the final stages of processing and should hear from them in four weeks.

I spoke to them earlier today and I was told my application is at the final stages of processing and was been handled in the normal way and I should hear from them in 4 weeks. I honestly don’t know what she meant by that.

Thank you Rozay36. I was misinformed that’s why as I applied from Northern Ireland lol I didn’t know the rule is 3yrs marriage to Irish National. + 1yr continuous residence leading the the application that and 2yrs statutory residency. So basically the letter says at the point of application on 8:0...

Hi
Same reply I got as I also applied in April 2017 so don’t know how much time it will take

That seem to be a very long time though I’m 4 months apart from your application date I applied in August. Were they able to confirm what stage your application is at the moment?

Hi Guys, I have just been refused based on ineligibility. According to the letter I’m 271days from application date which is due this October. Has anyone been in this situation before? When making another application, is it going to be a continued application or a new application? If it’s a new app...

Hi How can u even contact the citizenship office I tried contacting them a number of times on the numbers that given on the website . Either it’s goes to busy tone or just rings out. Any hints to contact any other way . I applied back in oct end but yet to get anything after 1st letter Calling them...

Hi Rosay36. If you don’t mind would you please tell me when you applied for naturalisation?

@SA3 I applied in August 2017

Yep - I received an approval letter last week! :) exactly 1 year, 1 month and 23 days after applying! I was expecting delays from the outset as I have some complexity in my case (already a dual national of UK & US so double the legwork for them) but have to say I was still surprised it took as long...

In my opinion I think it’s pointless contacting them as you will receive little or no information. I would suggest you still give them sometime. As they say “70% of applications are processed within six months while some may take longer”. No one knows you might hear from them very soon considering t...

Congratulations That’s definitely an approval letter. You only need to make the payment of €950 to be included in the upcoming ceremony.

I’m in the same situation as yourself I applied in 2017. My last contact with them, I was told that my application is currently been processed to establish if I met statutory conditions for granting of naturalisation such as lawful residence and good character. From reading through people’s post her...

Did anyone get any correspondence from INIS this week?

I'd say so! If it is further processing stage it means that they're only doing now the background checks on you and will send it to the Minister asap. It shouldn't take more than 2 months - but you never know...

Thanks for the quick response, at least that’s some progress

Called in today and was told “your application is at the further processing stage” does it mean I could hear something soon?
