Paraguay would be good too 6 months residence each year for 3 years and you can become a Paraguayan citizen but the Paraguay passport does allow visa free travel to Thailand. Then there is Chile the closest to western standards, Ecuador nice beaches history and Colombia looks like an amazing countr...
I have watched a few YouTube videos about getting residency in Paraguay, Panama by making a bank deposit of $5.000 but this comes with conditions etc like not staying out of the country for too long plus you will have to fly back every so often but is there any other countries in this region which ...
The report was made by the BBC and the figures were from 2 sources firstly the numbers for as follows FBR UK applications (Irish department of Justice ) Passport UK applications (DFA) FBR cert issued (Department of Justice) The passport applications will always be much higher and as for the FBR app...
Hi Lee, The figures you provided seem really low - aside from the passport application number. Previously, I have been advised as part of an FOI request that in 2018, 25,823 worldwide FBR applications were received by the DFA and 17,414 entries made on the register. As I mentioned at the time I pos...
Unable to be parted from my UK passport or driving licence for such a long time I had my witness certify a copy of my licence. I know with absolute certainty that this was included with my application yet according to the chatline operative, no such paper was scanned into their system. There is no ...
Hello, I live in New York City and submitted my FBR application in September 2018. I got a receipt and application number right away, and then not a peep. I am concerned about timing now because I will be moving in July, and my current post office is one of the lower rungs of hell. Has anyone who s...
I had dinner with one of my tenants in Bangkok last night. He and his girlfriend are from the U.K. and live together in Thailand. They have been here for over 2 years. His girlfriend has an Irish grandfather and applied for FBR through the Irish embassy in Bangkok on July 22nd 2018. She had a reque...
That must be a relief to you Lee. Am so glad they sent back your passport, I take it they took a copy or do you now have to supply a certified copy? That is a long time to wait to get through to them, I will need to call them as the local embassy just isn't replying to anything sent on the web cont...
First-time poster here, so for your first time Irish Passport application even submitting it via Passport Express in that post office in Liverpool the turn around time will be a minimum of 65 working days, the extra payment for that "express service" is just a postal charge. This type of ...
To clarify, I mean that my mother if she were to apply for the FBR because she was born before the July 1956 date of the act, would be retroactively a citizen from the July 1956 date because there wasn't really a register for her to have been on. Correct? IrishAmerican2 Here is a link explaing abou...
I have emailed the embassy in London via foreign.london@dfa.ie to see if I can get a response. Applying over a year ago does seem longer than most. Jacqui I have tried calling the number for 2 days now and I didn't get a chance to speak to anyone but I have sent an e-mail today to the irishembassyl...

Those emails are shut down you should defiantly call first thing Tuesday morning the lines would be open at 9 am, even after checking and seeing your original passport with the rest of your documents it would be kept hold of until the end of the application process unless you contact directly reque...
On the NI issue and Guardian article, the position of those in the North is very serious. Under the GFA, those born in the North can identify as British, Irish or both. With the UK leaving the EU, those in the North looking to exercise treaty rights as EU/Irish citizens - for example, a right to ha...

That was how I understood it too. Thank you for confirming <3 The article made me question whether my understanding was correct. The article from The Guardian does not deal with people from Northern Ireland being ineligible for Irish citizenship. Quite the reverse. It addresses a certain group of p...

When you say you sent copies - what do you mean? I believe that all documents need to be originals. That is apart from the passport, other documents should be originals or copies obtained from GRO (sorry I think of those as originals too) but not photocopies I believe - I could be wrong and someone...

We are currently living in London but may ...
