Renewing GNIB for schengen visa

Hi, Currently our GNIB cards are valid until August 2010. We are trying to plan various holidays in June/July 2010 but need to apply for a Schengen Visa for pretty much anywhere in Europe. It would seem that no embassy is willing to issue a visa unless your GNIB card is valid for 3 months after retu...

Baby born to Non-EU Parents

Hi,

Been living in Ireland for 2 years now and am working on a Green Card. My wife has a spousal Green Card. Our baby was born a couple of months ago in Ireland so just wanted to check - do we need any GNIB card or stamp in baby's passport like we do as adults?

thanks

GNIB

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

I heard that we would need return airtickets? And we need bank statements and some sort of marriage certificate? Not sure if all of this is true, hence me asking.

Thnx

Green Card arrived - What else needed

Hi All,

So finally after months of waiting and going backwards and forward I have received my Green Card. What types of documentation will be needed upon entering Ireland? I mean apart from the obvious passport and Green Card, what else would we need (my wife and I).

Thanks

Work Permit

Two ways of going about it. One is the Work Permit and the other is the Green Card. Either one you need a job offer from a company and for the Green Card you need to either earn above 60k or between 30 - 60K for certain jobs. Cost for either permit is 1000 euro. Currently the Green Card processing t...

Green Card for Spouse

Hi, I am a non-EU person waiting for my Green Card. My question is this - How easy/difficult will it be for my wife to get her "work permit" once I have received my Green Card? And secondly, will this also take forever to be processed? Anyone in a similar boat that's been through this? thn...

Which post stated one week? As far as I know someone mentioned that they got theirs in about 4 weeks, which is pretty good considering the dept tells you between 8 - 12 weeks. For my application the dept told me last week that it would take about 4 - 6 weeks. Yesterday someone from the dept told me ...

OK, So after getting a Green Card I can apply for residency after 2 years? Can I then apply for a passport or do I have to wait another 5 years to apply for citizenship and then apply for the passport? I am a non-EU person married to a non-EU person :) This is all so bloody confusing as everyone has...

Citizenship - Now what

Hi,

Forgive my ignorance but what happens after you have received your citizenship? I mean what does it mean - benefits to you or the new country? Can you apply for a new passport then?

Thnx

Green Card

I think most of us are in the same boat. We have all applied and now we are waiting - and it seems nobody knows for how long we will be waiting.
