Work Permit 3 Years

Hi, Im on work permit for three years and expacting my baby in feb 2010. Will my baby be entitled to Irish citizenship and if yes how will I apply for it. Your response will be appreciated.

yes, you should be.
Once you have the birth cert, you can apply for his/her passport. You will also need to send in your original passport, GNIB card and a letter of explanation to show which pages in your passport carry the stamps pertaining to your residence in Ireland.

See http://www.dfa.ie/home/index.aspx?id=263 for more details.

Thanks strongbow, any chance of getting stamp4 residency for myself after having baby's irish passport. I know people had residency on the basis of being parents of irish citizen. Thanks for your assistance.

Are you sure? That her baby will get Irish citizenship?

Where are you from? How long have you been resident in Ireland?

Is the father an Irish citizen?

Have a read:

Entitlement to Irish citizenship of persons born to certain non - nationals.
A person born in the island of Ireland, since 1 January 2005, shall not be entitled to be an Irish citizen unless a parent of that person has, during the four years immediately preceding the person’s birth, been resident in the island of Ireland for a period of not less than three years or period the aggregate of which is not less than three years.

Hi ciaramic,

You might want to re-read stmani's original post against what you quoted above. It is self explanatory.

The child will be entitled to Irish citizenship if either of the parents (must be named on the child's birth certificate) have GNIB stamps in their passport totalling up to 3 years within the last 4 years. This is the case regardless of the citizenship of the parents. The exemptions to this are residency for the purpose of studying and perod of time while refuge application was under consideration.

I don't think you'll be entitled to any form of residency stamp based on being the parent of an Irish Child. Not any longer. The IBC scheme which made this possible for children who were born prior to Jan 2005 has ended.

You may be entitled to apply for either Long Term Residency (LTR) or Irish citizenship after 5 years of being on work permit. Both are currently taking btw 23 to 36 months to process

The Irish Born Child (IBC) scheme ended on 31st December 2004.

EDIT: Crossed posts with 9jeirean.

I know someone who was recently given residency on compassionate grounds through having a Irish Citizenship child.

The IBC scheme itself is been abolished.

However if the parent is able to obtain Irish citizenship for the child by any means, the authority would have to make provision for the parents through whatever means.

I don't think it is automatic, but if compassionate grounds exist, the parents will be able to obtain residency.

Hi I did read the original post, she said she is on a 3 year work permit not that she has been here for three years??? Or was I mistaken she might have arrived in Ireland last year? No?

Hi, a friend of mine got stamp4 residency on the basis that his baby was given irish citizenship because of he fulfilled 3 years residancy requirment however he had to sent a request letter in department of justice explaining that he wish to get himself engaged in business activity and unable to show large investment. it took 2 months getting response from them which was positive!
