Re: IRP renewal (stamp 1G to stamp 4 change also) for spouse after naturalization of husband

I did that for my de-facto partner. You simply do a renewal of Stamp 4 online. Just upload her original permission letter if she has one, upload your naturalisation certificate or passport, and put in a one-sentence explanation in the application that you have been naturalised and therefore wants he...

Re: Confusion on irish naturalisation residency calculater

There shouldn’t be too much of a difference between the t...

Re: Irish visa on original passport when apply first passport

No. The only purpose of submitting your current passport is to verify your identity. The passport team belongs to DFA, which has nothing to do with INIS. Ireland is one of the few countries which allow you to use your foreign passport to enter and leave the state. They even have a dedicated Stamp 6 ...

Your application will be rejected straightaway if you do not provide a certified copy of your birth certificate. 3. ...

As a general consensus - 90 days. Special arrangements are available for people who have permission letters under the likes of IIP and EUTR, but for most other categories it's 90 days. I'll quote the correspondence I received from Burgh Quay a few years ago. Generally, a residency permit holder is p...

Re: For how many days can I stay in Ireland if I resign while on CSEP Stamp 1 after completing 12 months?

Usually the minister will grant you 3-4 months of extension of Stamp 1 from the date of your termination. You can work without an EP during this period but you are expected to have your new EP ready by the end of this extension. Note that applying for a new EP, especially when the existing EP is sti...

This comes as a bit of shock to me to be very honest. I heard from my missus's friend who got naturalised recently partially based on 3 years of Stamp 1A. In my mind Stamp 1A is a student permission. It counts towards the 7-year limit on student permissions, and once a Stamp 1A holder becomes a cert...

Anyone who transits in any UK airport to an Irish airport must always pass through UK border control.

Stamp 6 is not a visa. It’s a stamp in the passport that is not recognised by airlines. The correct process would be to first apply for a Stamp 6, and then apply for a Re-entry visa, both of which are free. You have plenty of time to do both if your trip is in January. Do not apply for a new IRP car...
