Re: Penality points driving license - irish citizenship

Whether your application will be approved depends on how serious the offences are and how many offences have been committed by the applicant. If you sped within 10% there is usually no problem whatsoever. However, if you sped over 100% there is a high chance that your application will be refused. Th...

Re: Question regarding employment when filling eutr form

As suggested above, you should put down the details of your current situation, not your future situation. It doesn’t really matter that much for EUTR applications anyway.

Re: My work permit is rejected in Ireland, please help me.

The short answer is - no you cannot work for him as things stand. I could have registered myself as a freelancer, work for a company, and then hire my girlfriend as my employee and give her some of my money. Will she qualify for an employment permit? Of course not. As meself2 mentioned above, the 50...

Re: Courts and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022

I think that the changes with regard to being absent from the state may only apply to the calculation of continuous residence i.e. only the last year? That is correct, since the legislation requires only the 365/366 days before your application date to be 'continuous'. This bill clarifies what the ...

The refusal reasons are quite self-evident. You can’t work for someone who just says they have a company with no employees, and the company must be visible online.

Most countries have long stopped having explicit requirements as to how much a person should have before applying for a visa. Requirements for short visit visas are simple - a person needs to prove that: (1) They have sufficient ties in their own country so that they will abide by their visa conditi...

Re: Type C visa for Filipina Girlfriend

For short visit visas, it would be better if she could show proof that she will be able to pay for her visit by herself - at least to some extent. Your sponsorship helps, but it is not the main determining factor. Having a boyfriend/girlfriend doesn’t mean or guarantee anything in the eyes of a visa...

They don’t need to be that accurate - nobody could really remember the exact date (or even month) after a few years of moving in and out.

It is technically not valid any more, but your airline does not need to know that. :) Bring a copy of your naturalisation certificate. When you come back to Ireland, show both the certificate and the IRP card to the border control. If you haven’t received the cert yet, bring a copy of the approval l...

Re: Parking at citizenship ceremony Killarney

There are parking spaces but they tend to be filled up quickly. I went there early enough to get a space. Not sure if there is space for everybody in the end. Most hotels nearby will allow you to park there for free or for a nominal fee though.

1. Bond has been in place for many years. It is a very popular way of proving financial situations. You will not be rejected if you provide bond without bank statement, however, as stated, they will likely ask for more proofs of finance if there is any doubt, which does happen a lot (the amount of b...

Re: Dress code? For ceremony

You wear whatever you want to wear. There is no dress code. It’s summer. It can be very warm, and it can be raining a lot in west Ireland.

Some people wear formal and come prepared (learn the Irish anthem if you wish!). Others just come with t-shirts and flip-flops.

Re: Ireland travel with EU registered partner

Sounds like your residence is based on marriage with a Dutch national. You will need a visa if that’s the case.

You said it says ‘Article 10 of Directive 2004/38/EC’ on the back of your card?

You can email them with a valid reason and proof, although it is questionable whether a non-refundable holiday is considered one of them. If they accept your request, they will tell you alternative options. Usually it means you will be placed on to the next scheduled ceremony, which is a few months ...

Apologies I didn’t read the entire thread in detail. Thought you were doing IRP renewal or filling in the initial naturalisation application, which you don’t need a Person ID.
Yes for Garda vetting you need a Person ID. Glad they were able to respond promptly.

You can’t apply for Irish passports directly. You need to apply for a naturalisation certificate. Approved asylum seekers need 3 years of residence, backtracked from the day of arrival into Ireland. Your wife can apply right now. You should go through the standard 5 year route from the date when you...
