Citizenship Application - Non-EU - Timeline of the Stamps - Needs Suggestion

[youngmoon]

Hi All,

I'm planning to apply for citizenship based on my residence in Ireland and I have a few doubts about the citizenship calculator. The years mentioned in the calendar, is it the calendar year, or does the year starts backwards on the date of application? If we take it based on the date of the application, the calculations are below. All the stamp dates are based on the IRP card. The dates in the passport stamps are different for 2016, 2017 are different as during those times, it was the normal practice outside of Dublin, the passports are being stamped during when we got the IRP card(second visit) and not on the actual application date(first visit). So I used the validity on the IRP cards and I have a copy of every card I hold.

In 2017 and 2019, I was not in Ireland for more than 6 weeks. When I'm eligible for applying for citizenship?
Shall I send the application now or do I need to wait those 97 days to be complete? (ie. March 2022). Please let me know.

You must wait 97 days to make up for your absences in 2016-2017 and 2018-2019.

Thanks, Vorona. I will wait until I complete those 97 days
