Thanks for this update as I was not aware we have a new minister for justice.Does anyone know if personal persona plays a big role in descions made by the moinister ro do they depend on civil service officers to assist them to make descions. Will he be more kind and human then previous ministers an...
look guys. i know everyone is trying hard and think of everything they can to make the DOJ make the application faster. writing a letter to the DOJ minister is one way. did anyone think of write a letter to the president or the prime minister and gather together and deliver it in person but make sur...
Hi everyone, As we talked about, we've got to send in clear police certs from all the countries we have ever lived in as part of the LTR system (but not until asked). I tried to get INIS to take my 2-year old clear RCMP cert but they wouldn't so I have to get a new one. I've sent in the request to ...
unfortunately this strategy won't work in all cases: In my case the visitor has a Lebanese passport and usually resides in Canada on a permanent residence-permit. Such residents of Canada will not receive a stamp on re-entering Canada. yes, but you dont have to say did you overstay or not. it is up...
You should seriously look into getting some counseling for that chip on your shoulder. I have never mislead anyone in this forum, nor have I neglected to mention any information - which is widely accessible through various posts anyway. I am an Irish citizen, I'm not waiting on anything. Finally, m...
What exactly is your point? Take a case against the Government for providing misleading information if you wish- it sounds as if you are holding me personally responsible for the Governments lack of implementation of their own policies - I think you may have lost touch with reality. And I am not mi...

mktsoi you are belligerent and frankly I dont care who issues what to whom. Read the documents and deal with the various Government departments yourself. I dont need to prove anything. What I can say with some certainty is that you are incapable of reading and/or interpreting the documents issued b...
Technically you qualify for permanent (or long term more accurately) residency after either 5 years (through work permits) or after 2 years on a green card employment permit (www.entemp.ie). However if you get long term residency in the form of a 5 year stamp after being on the green card for 2 yea...

Very good find Marielmcp! Marielmcp is right, they are asking for a "police clearance certificate from all the countries you've been resident" from all applicants for LTR, retrospective as well (it doesn't matter when you applied, before or after this rule was introduced) plus the English...
Did they give you a stamp3 despite that you went to GNIB with a green card? So, it was their mistake. They should not charge you again, if you ask for correction. It happened to me once a few years ago, I went back on the same day. They corrected it on my passport. But, then it was free of charge. ...
Hi There, I & my wife are non EU citizens. I have LTR & waiting for naturalization(since July 2006). My wife is in Ireland on spouse visa, she got GNIB stamp 3 and have PPS number. She want to start looking for work. My understanding is that she is not eligible to work without work permit a...
Thanks Joe. it looks like it's getting longer and longer every month. According to my calculation, -based on the letter that was issued last November- it's now 16 months i guess... (jul 06 - nov 07) it reminds me of the old irish saying "all good things come to those who wait" ... all goo...
I disagree with Mktsoi here. i think the residence rule is the irish citizen and spouse have to live in ireland 2 out of the 3 years prior to apply for naturalisation and not total 3 years. If you read here it says: * You must be married to the Irish citizen for at least 3 years * You must have had...
First of all thanks for the replies. What I meant was applying for Irish citizenship for my husband-through naturalization.... Iam aware that we have to be resident in Ireland...but I thought as a spouse of an Irish citizen my husband can apply after legally being married after 3 years providing we...
hi there, When calculating "reckonable residence" in the State for Citizenship purposes, do periods spent on "Tourist - C Type" Visas count? According to CitizensInformation.ie , they say the following: Certain periods of residence do not count for the purpose of reckonable resi...
Hi, Well, all of you poor souls still waiting for LTR are gonna love this latest update: Just off the phone with a rep from INIS & they are apparently still processing LTR applications recieved in July 2006!! How this is possible I don't know as 10 weeks ago in September they were on the same m...
Actually the 'green card' is more beneficial in that after 2 years it is renewed indefinately and you can also apply for a 5 year permission to remain stamp after the 2 years. http://www.entemp.ie/publications/labour/2007/guidegreencards.pdf If you currently hold a work visa you can continue to ren...
Sakura, I havent bothered pursuing it any further. I just went and got him a latvian and RSA passport. You must have been here 3 years before the birth to qaulify. All this seems ludicrous, I mean, I own a house here, my mother is Irish, my great grandfather was Irish and my application is in for n...
My application was accepted on the basis that my great grandfather was irish. I applied after being in the country one year and ive been waiting for a decision for a year now. Im here presently on a stamp4eufam for 5 years. Your application may have been accepted as valid, but does it mean that it ...
As far as how long the GNIB takes, I really don't know. like i mentioned before, gnib has the discreetion power to grant you the stamp 4 in the same day if they wanted to. but yankeegirl is right. you better off get married somewhere else instead of waiting in ireland and come back with your marria...
thanks, sahil. just a few questions: 1. when did your friend get married here? 2. how long did it take for the GNIB to grant him permission to work in ireland and leave? i appreciate it. if you are from states, then you dont need to get a visa before you come into ireland. you said you have been li...
Hi everybody, i m been living in ireland for last 5 years, 2 years ago i got married and my wife is irish citizen, thats how i got stamp 4. i held this for last 2 year. but i have to go once a year to immigration office to renue it! does anybody know how can i get an long term recidency or when can...
