Does Irish naturalisation offer any benefits over UK Citizenship when travelling? Travelling with an Irish passport might bring you less attention (i.e. Brits are disliked in quite a few countries, for obvious reasons; the Irish...not so much). I am sure some countries allow Irish passport holders ...

No, P60 and P21 are Revenue Forms, confirming your employment and payment of taxes. Dept of Social Welfaire is to confirm payments made by the government for social needs, as sick leave, maternity leave, unemployment subs..... but how can i get one? is there any electronic service from dept social ...

Here is an update about the naturalisation processing workflow and time frame : Applied for irish naturalisation based on 5 year residence in the state in early February 2006, with complete documentation pack as specified in the application form. Received request for following documents in early Se...

Hi friends, I just got the police clearance letter which is required for LTR. I've few questions on this.. - Within how many days I need to submit the PCC? - How long will it take to get the LTR approval letter after submitting the PCC? - Within how many days I need to show the LTR approval letter ...

No refresh of bank statements, P60s, etc were required. were you married before you applied or you married after you applied????what does the marriage afficavit does? sorry to be nosiey, if you dont mind i asked such as a personal question, all i wa...

Applied in July 2005. Next available civil court sitting is the 19th of Nov when I am required to "declare my fidelity to the nation and loyalty to the state" - and pay my €950. What a relief! After eight years in limbo I can at last make new plans and boldly go forward! Hi Injasuti I g...

Any official query regarding the excessive processing time is usually fobbed off with the following meaningless standard reply: "The granting of Irish Citizenship through naturalisation is an honour and applications must be processed in a way which preserves the necessary checks and balances t...

Guys, it's amazing how noone knows how long the processing of applications is taking at the moment..I would have thought that any serious organisation like "the immigration council" for example would have the power and would actually keep asking INIS until receiving a decent answer..We re...

My wife and I are both non-EU nationals who have been working here--I have been here for 7.5 years while my wife has been here for the past 4 years. We are expecting our first child next month and given the fact that both of us have been here for more than 3 years on a legally valid work status our...

guys, the worst feeling about this article is the quality of the services of GNIB. i have read many of this type of article in internet forums. all the irish gov is saying people should pay for the services they use and many countries in the world charging for residency permit. i really do agree wit...

The situation is funny as it is tragic, since I don't really understand how being away from my family, especially my little girl, would make me a good worker. The green card application made in my name by my company (Paddy Power) was rejected because the position I was nominated for is not the kind...

Under 2004/38/EC, language tests for EU-citizens and their family-members are ILLEGAL. Although not necessarily for naturalisation applications, I think. But back to immigration, one way around the English—Gaelic issue would be to say that a satisfactory knowledge of Gaelic was acceptable: the nu...

it doesnt surprise me if they increased the time for registration as well. welcome to ireland, be prepare to wait forever unless miracle happened haha

it is shame that they are started to ask 950 euros, it was same at germany as i remember they were charging about 800 euros for citizen ship, after alot of complains and Turkish campains fights at the Eu human rights courts, they have won. and also he kept there receipts got the money back, so Sugg...

Ireland will lose out in terms of international students. They are actively encouraged in other countries. I see countries, such as Australia not only allow a student to work, but will also allow dependents to work also (only 20 hours per week, but that's better than not being able to bring them!)....

This is the vary reason everything is so behind here. I don't think it is so much that they are understaffed, though I'm sure that contributes, but in reality, it's the fact that they don't train their immigration officers properly. The thing that sucks, and if you want them to let you in, you have...

Talk about immigration officer not knowing anything about immigration. I had to go through this old guy. He basically told me that I was making up the Stamp 1A for trainee accountants. It took the guy nearly 30 minutes to let me in, and then he gave me a week. When I told him that I was going to pi...
