It appears that Garda vetting process was amended according to this update from 9 of April: https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/e0004-temporary-citizenship-process-grants-almost-1200-new-irish-citizens/ "From this week, eVetting has been introduced in the naturalisation process, replacing the m...

Explain better, add a photo of the letter without your personal details.
Garda vetting is part of the processing already and is normally carried out at the second stage without any letters asking for consent.

After repeated emails they replied me back saying they haven't received the payment which I had send back in Jan 2020, even though they had acknowledged the receipt of it that time. Now I'm in the process of paying again online. Contact your bank and initiate a chargeback of the original transactio...

1. Did anyone get an email of approval or everyone just got letter in post ? I got in post but no email. Is email mandatory ? I read it on INIS website that people will be informed by email !! 2. Postal letter has 'Declaration of Fidelity' and 'How to pay the fee' attached. Is there anything additi...

- Enter periods of covid extensions as normal permission stamps. - Fiscal year - starting and ending dates of each permission. - Days of departure and return do not counted as absence. - Excusability of absences is decided individually. Create a spreadsheet with dates and reasons for each trip and a...

so business trips are also deducted :( lots of people here said they shouldn't be deducted as long as you have company letters to prove it and i was thinking of not deducting them Only COVID related absences clearly considered as an exemption. Everything else will be assessed during initial stage. ...

Hi Vorona, Do you have any idea if we should deduct business trips or not? I was absent in 2018 for 83 days, 30 days for personal trips and 53 for business trips, i have HR letters to prove it, do you think i should deduct them? really appreciate your response! Yes. 5.6 Have you been absent from th...

How long does it take to get the refusal at the initial stage assuming they don't accept the explanation? Ineligibility is not a refusal. Refusal is a decision given by the Minister at the final stage. Applications failed at the initial stage are deemed ineligible as they do not satisfy reckonable ...

Not to derail the conversation but the reason for my absence was my wedding. I have all the receipts, invitation card, etc. Do you think providing that can explain the absence? I was also absent in 2017 for 50 days, 30 days of which was a business trip which I have a letter from my previous employe...

If Gardai were involved, then explain what happened on a separate sheet and include it in your application.
Better safe than sorry.

Yes.

She needs to contact the embassy or a consulate which refused her visa and ask for a duplicate of a refusal letter.

just print them off from your online account, your old online statements shouls have your old address on them.

Some banks don't allow to download old statements for some reason.

Thanks Vorona, but considering littlerr's point that they won't issue FCPN untill few days or weeks and some Garda may even wait for months before they register the offence on PULSE system, and I can't pay for FCPN until it has arrived. I have already addressed this in the previous message. You can...

Yes.

Bank statement used to prove that you have lived here during particular period of time by showing day to day expenses for food, utilities and so on.

Your bank must send you the copies to your new address. Ask them again. They will be accepted.

Oh my God. The person had stopped 4 months after applied but the application delayed for 39 months and 4 to 5 Garda vetting once every 10 months? Even after apology and paying the fine ticket? I give up already. I am hopeless now. This is my first time getting stopped and fine. I have prepared apol...

Pay the fine and send a letter to the Citizenship Division, with an explanation and copy of the receipt.
Better if you disclose this yourself, than if this comes up after another garda vetting.

Absences totaling 42 or more days per year will most likely be deducted from your reckonable residence. When applying, give details of your absences on a separate sheet, excluding the days of departure and arrival. Contact your former employer or airline and ask for a copy of your travel tickets and...

It doesn't matter. You need to give details of your employment in your application.
Any additional details related to your employment (and/or anything else) that you wish to clarify must be explained on a separate sheet and attached to the form.

Tick boxes "Employed" and "Other" in 9.1 and explain your second employment in 9.2

Thanks. One more thing, my eufam 4 is expiring next month should I wait for citizenship decision or apply for eu3? You must renew your permission before it expires, citizenship application has nothing to do with it, unless you get an approval letter an invitation to sign the declaration before your...

What should I reply? Or should I contact to a solicitor? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Send them a copy of the visa refusal letter together with your explanation.
You don't need a solicitor for such a basic task.

I don't understand the correlation? Two or three people in this topic reported that they did not see much being done to their application in a long time apart from repetitive Garda vetting requests. What I'm saying is that it is possible that you will not see anything new on your file other that an...

Is it allowed to make FOI twice? If someone made the request like last year, can the same person make another request this year? Yes. If you think you can find anything interesting you can ask for another one. But personally I wouldn't bother, it's probably going to be another Garda vetting request...
