Thanks Vorona, Have to calculate it again but I think it was really 42 days, not counting the departure and the return. I booked the solicitor for the signatures, but now I was reading that citizenship is not acknowledging new applications because of the lockdown. We would like to go on holiday in M...

Hi Everyone, My girlfriends will apply for naturalization shortly, she is non EU, she had her first stamp 4 in April 2015 under Eu treaty rights. We were together out out the country in 2016 for more than 6 weeks, I believe for around 7 weeks. My understanding is that the 6 weeks rule applies to the...

Yeah 6 weeks it s quite of a scandal though, we submitted the application on the 30th of July, received on the 31st. Then Monday the 3rd was a bank holiday. I don t expect to hear anything before the end of next week. This is for a temporary stamp after submitting the application for permanent resid...

If you are not in a rush to travel abroad, send the Burgh quay office an email and wait for their response. If you are in a rush, you can try and apply online under the Irish spouse option. You should be exempt from fees if you select that option. You just need to explain why you selected this opti...

No fee for this.Happened to me also as some didn't know the rules so I showed him an email to confirm there is no fee for this from EU treaty officer. Yes there should not be any fee but the website was not implemented correctly then, If I try to apply for the stamp https://inisonline.jahs.ie/ asks...

Any *advice* of course, it seems I cannot find an edit button.

Hi Everyone, I am a EU citizen and my partner holds a 5 year S4EUfam expired on the 1st of July 2020 (but due to Cov-19 my understanding is that it should be extended for two months), we live in Dublin. We posted the permanent residence card application in March, Eu Treaty rights confirmed it was re...

Yes the last few pages of the application are required to be signed by a witness. A few copies such as the birth certificate also need to be certified by the witness. The witness can be a solicitor, a peace commissioner or a commissioner for Oaths. Most people just go for a solicitor because there ...

She can apply for citizenship based on Irish Associations. This would reduce the requirement to 3 years. However, it will be up to the minister to decide whether the 'association' is strong enough. Since it's just 3 more months till April, I would strongly recommend that she applies based on her ow...

You can start to gather all documents early, but the application MUST be signed by the applicant and the witness (usually a solicitor) when the 5-year requirement has been met. The application date will be filled in by the witness on that day. I’ve seen certain immigration solicitors saying that th...

The GNIB card is expiring in November this year, we will renew it before hand as the 5 years granted will end in July 2020 ( her passport was expiring in Nov 2019 so they stamped it until Nov 2019) My question ...
