I'm not originally from Ireland but obtained citizenship through one of my parents. It was quite simple. They were here only 5 years and I got it 1 and a half years later. Many friends I know who have emigrated to places like Austria and Switzerland talk about having to wait 8 to 10 years before ev...

A general answer they did not even specify you in the reply.

Your application has now been initially assessed and has proceeded to the second stage of processing.

This statement indicates you were moved to the second stage for those asking frequently about content of second stage letter.

This is the part that I mean and I dont understand, all the time just I am thinking of being an employee in an Irish embassy, otherwise how can I work for the Irish government out of the state.Can anybody give me examples, even in an embassy , I dont think they will recruit a non naturalised person...

Scenarios that are considered as exceptional cases include: - Work for the Irish Government branch which requires the resident to be posted abroad This is the part that I mean and I dont understand, all the time just I am thinking of being an employee in an Irish embassy, otherwise how can I work f...

This was very helpful. Thanks Everyone. I forgot to mention that while away from Ireland, I will still be employed in state, on Irish payroll and working from home. But reading through replies it looks like it wont make a difference. You can have a job or own a property, but if you're not living he...

You will need to notify INIS if the travel is more than 6 weeks even after you applied for citizenship. If it is essential travel they might give it exemption. I agree with you, although he wants personal experience, I think in 6 months he will get his passport back so he can apply, and then notify...

Haven't received the approval letter before as well. : Did your letter mention the payment of the fees?If yes!T...

What are you talking about?

I am just surprised, I think if you are working alone you can send 1100 of these emails or whatever, in 3 days, don't you?!

In RTE link I shared, Minister said that around 1100 will be receive affidavit in few weeks. I think after they do most processing for those they will send to another batch. 1100 in weeks? What processing are you talking about?Suppose you are working alone, how many application,how many application...

Shelter, I think it is a positive response, to my knowledge FOI is a right, and you should get it, but I think of it in another way and positively, they mean you will no longer require your file as you will get a decision even before the specified period, they told you previously that your applicati...

All I am saying is, that I believe that a decision on whether or not to grant a citizenship to a foreigner is much quicker when the applicant is an EU citizen. That is for reasons I have described and also because the checks on EU level tend to work out much faster than on international level. Mart...

While I understand that the process is long, confusing and frustrating, let's clarify one thing. It is pretty obvious that, in the majority of the cases, the application process for EU citizens is way shorter than for non EU applicants. And it should be. Reasons? Firstly, the EU applicants do not b...

Please note that your application for naturalisation have being submitted to the Minister for a decision. If further documentation and/or clarification of any matter related to your application is required from you, we will write to you requesting it. Otherwise, you will receive a letter in due cou...

I was just wondering are the 4000 applicants being sent the affidavits only those who got an approval letter to pay the €950 back before March 2020 and the ones who got the same approval letter recently? Just wondering for my mom’s application No body can give you an exact answer, but I think it wi...

In addition if you were number 8000 in the queue it would be far better than to withdraw and re apply and again only to be number 27000 in the queue.

The minister can wave 2 years from the 5 years when you apply as a spouse of an Irish citizen, but it is not called an Irish association, generally in your case it is one ifthe fastest ways, but I think the current situation and last year problem contributed to this delay and I am sure i the next sh...

Yes

I might email INIS sometime this week to add it to their FAQs on how long employment permit holders can be absent from the state during the pandemic, as it’s important information. Why do you search for difficulties for yourself and the others in the fututre.You may be searching for problems and th...

Your friend can apply directly when she fulfills the reconable dates.

I think they have one page to be witnessed infront of a witness e.g a solicitor..it may mean to them that is yourself who is sending the required documents..the good thing is that they are working on your file..why not you send dicuments with a letter as you mentioned and try calling them if you got...

I think you have to inform your local immigration officer again and make sure that he changed your address in the system..he might have done so already and the address in the card was by mistake, but what is important for you is to make sure that the address is changed in the system which is a simpl...

Well first they will send statuary declaration doc to sign, upon return that doc to citizenship dept. They will send naturalisation certificate in post. Thanks luckyfish..because the above 2people are arguing in no point..they are may be they are not aware of that certs will be sent without ceremon...

I thought there is no ceremony anymore and they will send the naturalisations certificates by post, this is what I understood, am I right?
