All of your answers are answered on INIS's website. https://www.irishimmigration.ie/how-to-become-a-citizen/applications-based-on-irish-descent-or-irish-associations/ The wording on waiving reckonable residence is: An association going back two generations without any other link to the State is gen...
I thought of you @shakey! Congratulations btw! What is also interesting to me is: 1) Albeit, I applied after one year, but they held my application up to the 2.5 year mark which would have brought the application closer to the desired 3 year mark imo; then choose to deny it. 2) it seems to violate B...
I applied for citizenship through Irish associations relatively prematurely. Normally, the general rule of thumb being you have minimum 3 years reckonable residence. I applied after 1. Therefore, I was not entirely surprised that it was denied. However, what I am now uncertain on is two-fold: 1) in ...

1. If the UK person has been exercising their EU Treaty Rights prior to the start of a de facto relationship , can a partner still get in under EUTR1A? i.e. the UK person exercised their EU Treaty Rights prior to 31 December 2020, but the de facto relationship begins after this time. 2. If not, if ...
I am not sure how they get in under EUTR1A if they were residing in the State on separate permissions prior to 31 December 2020 i.e. OP was in the State on a Stamp 2 and not dependent on their partner (de facto/spouse) prior to 31 December 2020 so therefore was not a "family member" prior...
The 40k requirement is for applicants under domestic laws. You both have been living in Ireland before Brexit, so that does not apply to you. EU Treaty rights apply to you, which do not have a set amount requirement. You just need to apply for it as soon as possible, as it will be increasingly diff...
We’re concerned largely now about the sponsorship aspect. He had very little income this year, and cumulative income from the two years prior to this one would not add up to €40k I don’t think. He only just finished his PhD so we need to both find work. He has a lot of money in savings from a few s...
Thanks for this although it does not really state what I should include in that letter. INIS was also not helpful when I eventually got a reply. They told me I had to be a de facto partner with my partner prior to getting married and then applying for a residence card on the EUTR1A, if that makes s...
"Where you hold a separate immigration permission within the State for the purpose of study or work for example, and then become the spouse, civil partner or de facto partner of a UK citizen, a change of status request may be made to the Department of Justice at the address below: Unit 5 Domest...
Good news - they emailed me back and said they would now issue a new IRP card without having to renew online/pay the €300.00 twice. I would normally have waited, but since I am on a Stamp 2 and will be switching to a Stamp 1G - I could not wait i.e. I cannot apply for a Stamp 1G before the expiratio...
I recently noticed that my permission is supposed to be valid until 31 December 2021. However, my IRP card and the stamp they placed in my passport is only valid until 31 October 2021. I have been emailing Burgh Quay Registration for four months now and finally received the instruction to "appl...
I think that will be an interesting point and potentially a future case, although I am not certain on what grounds. Essentially, it would be put before the court whether the Minister/the Office is attempting to circumvent or create new law by creating a practice not to review applications until year...
I have no idea how I missed this before, but they are saying applications based on Irish Association take an excess of 30 months to process. So I think I am right to say I will hear closer to my 3 year period. https://www.irishimmigration.ie/citizenship/applications-based-on-irish-descent-or-irish-a...
I applied this route as well in November 2019. Last letter I received was in March that they were processing my application based on my Irish associations (my mother is the FBR, grandmother has her citizenship and great grandmother was born here). When I applied I had only been living in Ireland fo...
I work for a law firm in which we provide notary/commissioner of oath services, since we provide essential services, we are open and the service is done by arranging an appointment. I know of other firms that are doing the same so it shouldn't be too hard to find a solicitor to swear your document. ...

I am hopeful but wish I had more time under my belt. Ages ago, user jhbmike applied after only two years and was approved. However, I don't know how strict they've gotten since.
I would think your odds are good since you've passed the 3 year mark! my time line is: Application Based On: Irish Associations- mother was Foreign Registered Birth but filed after I was born Applied On: 11 November 2019 Acknowledgement : returned passport, letter dated 12 November 2019 Second Lette...
I applied under these exact same circumstances November 2019 - great grandmother was born galway, my grandmother received her citizenship under a different law, and then my mother received hers under FRB but filed after I was born. I was wondering if you heard anything for your application? Sorry, ...

3 July ceremony has now been postponed. Really was hoping they could get this sorted by now, but hopefully everything is running by 10 August and they can do one in September. http://inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Immigration-Service-Delivery-Covid-19-FAQ4.pdf/Files/Immigration-Service-Delivery-Covid-19-FAQ4.pdf
