sorry, my mistake. i mean not part of great britain but is part of the uk.

I heard this morning on the Radio that the UK will scrap the common Travel Area arrangement with Ireland to introducte the new "E-Border" system in the UK. That means all people will need a Passport to Travel from Ireland to the UK from 2009. Do you think Ireland will join Schengen now? A...

i would like to make another suggestion for you. may be it is funny but hey, it might work one day. loads of illegal irish working in usa and the irish government is trying hard to make those illegal irish in states to be legal!!!!!!! why dont you work illegally here and get the usa government to ge...

Hi, I am IT Speciliast having 9.5 years experience in Telcom after my three year Diploma in Engineering in India and have a potential job offer for €55k in Ireland. Could anyone advise whether I would qualify if applying for Greencard? Thanks in advance. Sai hi, potential job offer? does it mean ...

Benifa: if your child is an Irish citizen, I don't see why you would have to do anything to register him. Because he will not be an Irish citizen forever. When my son completes his National Service in Singapore at the age of 18, he will have to then formally renounce any and all citizenship other t...

The Dept/Jus is hiding behind a wall of silence, and their civil servants have no reason to want to increase their workload by actually helping individuals. If they are pushed and forced through sheer volume of activity you can bet that they will get off their collective lazy rear ends and do somet...

The is no border control upon arrival in the UK from ROI. Fly from any airport in ROI and you can enter the UK without any immigration checks. Theoretically, to enter the UK without a valid visa is illegal. In practice, however, there is nobody to check you. My wife, who is non-EEA, and I flew from...

I think they are delaying the processing of applications in purpose, I mean it doesn’t take more than a hour to find out you are eligible or not, then why does it take too long surely they cant have more than 10000 applications , we have accept the fact that Foreigners are not welcome here , :x y...

Did I dream it or I saw that the non eu spouse should have resided legally for 6 months in another member state??? That way, having the French residence card would only help for half of the problem. Would we need to spend 6 months in France before filing the application in Ireland? Or do both in pa...

I'll be joining in to picket the Dail no matter whether this affects us personally or not. It's crazy that the DOJ can discriminate against non-Irish EU nationals and their families. Surely any action of this kind should be taken against all EU nationals with non-EU spouses or no-one. If this actio...

Hi mktsoi and joesoap101, Thank you for keeping me updated with the information you have got from the Justice Department. I think in November, I will just simply renew my Work Authorization for this time (on the expired date after 2 years) and this new WA wil be good for another 2 years, then I wil...

Hi all, I am a bit confused now - I got my Green Card, arrived in Dublin and applied for my GNIB card. The Garda told me that it would be valid for a year and after that I have to renew it again and pay another 100 euro's. But from what I read is that the GNIB should be given for two years. Thnx di...

Well be prepared to wait in vain. Face it the Irish are the most incompetent bunch you will ever come across. I am here 6 and half years and applied about 18 months ago. Still no answer. I applied to move to Canada in meantime. It will take less time to hear an answer. I think immigrants in Ireland...

Current processing time for the LTR has already grown up to 14 months. :shock: :evil: :( Currently they're processing the applications submitted on the first week of July 2006. What a shame! Just slightly over a year ago, when I was submitting my application, the queue was just 2.5 months long, now...

Hello, It was mentioned on one of the websites that only those who are on stamp 1 and stamp 4 are eligible for an Irish Green Card . I have a job offer at a well known multinational company for electronics engineering and the salary is above 30,000 Euros per year. They gave a job offer on the basis...

Dose anyone have the info ?? thats the idea of the work authorization and work visa. the holder can work for whoever he/she wishes within the 2 years period of the work authorization or work visa. so you can even work for one day for the 2 years but bear in mind that if you dont work enough and pay...

Heyi Guys im in a dilema in a wrong country and i need any available advice//I hve been working in Ireland for morethan 5yrs on workpermit and my passport endorsements equals 62.The renewal for my sixth workpermit was delayed by my company and the permits dept rejected the application and the whole...

Well their policy is that if you have a 'green card' employment permit for 2 years you can apply to the DOJ for LTR. If you're on a work authorisation then you have to wait 5 years before being eligible to apply for LTR. Some people are waiting up to a year to have their LTR processed but even taki...

Yeah, Thanks for this. The issue that is worrying me is that while a work authorisation is in force, they will not grant a green card. So I need to have them process my green card after my working holiday authorisation (or apparently any work authorisation issued under the now defunct work authoris...

by the way. dept of enteprise is giving you the correct info. you can apply to the green card and they can process it but can you stay in the country as a green card holder or not is up to the dept of justice to say. so apply to the green card now and go change you status in GNIB after you receive y...

I'm from New Zealand on a working holiday authorisation, which is the same stamp as a work permit. Entemp did say it would be OK to switch (it's possible to switch from other permits to this), but then I got declined as my visa is issued by the department of justice. They said I should try to get p...
