My parents visit visa from Pakistan took over 7 months. I am an Irish citizen, living and working here long time.

Its an absolute disgrace to wait for 7 month for 3 months visa....

OK Thanks. I also sent an email to the citizenship department and they confirmed that the passport is sent back within 3 to 4 weeks.

Dear All, My wife will be applying for her naturalisation at the end of Oct 2016 and we are planing to travel at the end of Nov for three weeks.

I am waiting for my parents visit visa for 7 months at this stage. For a 3 months visit visa and to wait for 7 months is an absolute JOKE..............

@ roxyali3005

Where did you applied the visa from ?

Is it visit visa for 3 months ?

What is your status ? Irish passport holder or on any visa ?

Is that for your parents / spouse / brother / sister ?

Did you ever tried to contact INIS ? If yes, what response do you get ?

Thanks,

@ Hamza2013 - Thanks for your reply but my parents visa is only a 3 month C-Visit category. It shouldn't take over 6 months.

1- All URDU documents needed to be translated to English.

2- No need to buy flights.

3- Yes medical insurance will be required.

I am an Irish citizen

First of all try to find out what would happen to British citizen and their non EU family members in Ireland after Brexit. How would the immigration impact on the family members of british citizen ?

Hi All, I have applied visit visa for my parents from Pakistan in Jan 2016. Six months had passed and it's now July 2016 but still no reply from INIS. I have contacted INIS so many times but got the same standard reply that we will get back to you in due course. On INIS website it's clearly stated t...

@Llian2345: Yes you will get the visa straight from the officer. Once you have your appointment, make sure you are in the office 5 mins before of your appointment time and they will call your name. You will present your documents and within few mins the officer will issue you your visa. alternativel...

My experience with the re-entry visa is below:

Appointment made for 8:30am

I was called at: 9:20am

Was out of INIS office at : 9:40am

So what's the point of online appointment system when you have to wait for over an hour.....

Thanks @ Zohaibmustafa

So you don;t need to get another ticket ?

So who would you show your appointment letter and who will deal with you as soon as you enter in the office ?

Hi All,

Did anyone went through the re-entry visa these days ? I have booked appointment online but still do you have to wait in the office or is it smooth now ? and still you need to get the ticket ? OR how the queue work ?

Thanks,

Best to talk to the department of foreign affairs OR to the Irish embassy. I think you have great chances to claim citizenship through your ancestors.

Good Luck

I agree with noajthan, best to get married first and than move to Ireland as join spouse visa will cost you over 6 months waiting and if you are coming here on a green card so, your spouse visa will be approved with your's one.

All the best..........

My parents applied for their c-visit 3 month visa on: Case submitted : 23.01.2016 --> Karachi , Pakistan Case received in Dublin : on 23.03.2016 --> INIS confirmed to me via email I am an Irish citizen, my kids and wife here too. This is the 5th month and no sign of their visas yet. Now sure why it ...

I think to renew your residence card you should not be absent from the state more than 90 days per calendar year and for citizenship you should not be absent more than 6 weeks per calendar year. If you are out of the state more than 6 weeks, the citizenship division will ask you for an explanation o...

Use your local embassy
