Naturalization of Non EEU spouse of a naturalised irish citizen

Post by intothewild85 » Sat Mar 12, 2022 6:04 pm

I was hoping to get some clarification about naturalization of Non EEU spouse of an irish citizen. Basically my wife and I are originally from India and I've just received my irish naturalization certificate this week. Can my wife (who's with me here in Ireland on a spouse visa for last 4 years) apply for citizenship as well now?

I see on the website the eligibility criteria says "Should have been married to, or in a civil partnership with, an Irish citizen for 3 years".
So we have been married for 4 years but I only became an irish citizen this week. Does she fulfill the eligibility criteria to apply for naturalization in that case?

I think she should be able to, not sure. But are you an Irish citizen? Yes. Were you married for more than 3 years? Yes.
