Now I'm thinking about something important: what if you go on holidays and in the meantime you receive the approval. Would the citizenship division shut down your application if you don't pay within those 10 days? I find it very bad that they introduced this 10 days rule honestly because on their e...

Yeah, true. I wonder what makes a case straight forward or not? I’ve lived at the same address from day 1 in Ireland. Although I did live in England before, but also only at one address. I thought thAt made my case more straight forward. But then I suppose with regards to addresses, if you lived at...

Anyone else from 2020 still haven't heard from them? I guess if nothing comes today then we're not going to be included for this ceremony and have to wait until December. Really didn't see this coming as I thought my application was a straight-forward case but apparently it isn't. :cry: I applied i...

There are currently 26,934 applications on hand at various stages of processing, of which 4,631 applications (17%) were received prior to 1 May 2020. Of the applications in progress, 3,191 have been issued with a decision but the applicant has yet to complete the required declaration of fidelity pr...

Nope but they mentioned that if you dont make payment within 10days to be included in June ceremony, application process cant be completed until next ceremony in December

Wow I'm speechless! Jeez I really can't wait for this nightmare of a process to come to an end.

Yes there is a limit. I have received approval today and they have started that the process of swearing of the oath of fidelity will cease. I reckon it would only make sense to issue a bulk approval for June ceremony in Killarney. So it would be mandatory for people who will be getting approval fro...

Add me to the forgotten crowd :D I applied in June 2020 and still no e-vetting or anything as well. A friend of mine who has a very similar profile to mine and who has applied after me got her approval 3 weeks ago. I'm being optimistic now and hoping that everyone who's been waiting will get good ne...

For the question about turn around time.... Applied Feb 2020 and I got the letter for e-vetting in September 2021. Sept 20th, 2021.... I received the vetting request by email. September 29, 2021....Vetting was disclosed to the citizenship department No further correspondence until February 2022, wh...

I applied in June 2020. No second letter. Received approval today. Keep the faith

Congratulations and thanks for giving us some hope! The silence has been quite depressing to be honest especially knowing that getting the passport is going to be another 3 or 4 months even.

Thanks....if I get my passport in the next week it will about 2 months & 2-3weeks since documents arrived. Considering the glut of applications I'm quite pleased with the time it has taken. As I've told people before --notarize everything & send extra stuff too ///extra proof of name & ...

Congratulations jgclancy! Jeez applying for the first passport seems to be even worse than the citizenship! The fact that you might get sent to the back of the queue is infuriating to be honest, especially if they already have the required documents. So how long on average it's taking people now fro...

I have been waiting since March 2020 and now I'm thinking to go for FOI. I didn't bother them in the last 2 years but now that I see people who have applied 6 months after me, are getting their approval, it seems unfair to me. The last update I got from them was my second letter in mid 2020 and the...

I applied in June 2020 but still radio silence like everyone else. I applied for FOI at the beginning of this year and received it last week and looks like the last thing that was done is the Garda vetting in December 2020. Since very few applications have been approved recently, I'm hoping that a b...

What email can I use to reach out for a status update, or other way to contact anyone. I submitted and received confirmation of my application Dec 2020, and thus far crickets. Thanks in advance! This is the email: citizenshipinfo@justice.ie Just don't get your hopes up, i.e. don't expect a useful o...

I missed their call from an unknown number and a week later got an email from them to confirm the address. So I wouldn't worry. They know how to reach you but it might delay things a little bit.

I've emailed them twice. The first one I told them that I will be outside of Ireland and asked them to automatically extend the 28 days response timeline in case they require anything while I'm abroad. They responded after two months (after I returned to Ireland) telling me about the status of the a...

Thank you littlerr for the helpful response (as usual!). From your experience, do you know how long it would take approximately to get the new card? My appointment to renew the IRP is at the end of September and I'm trying to book flights after this date but not sure how long after. Is applying for ...

Hi, When you need to renew the IRP card, do you get it on the same day as your appointment nowadays (outside of Dublin)? I remember in Dublin before the pandemic you get it straight away (i.e. same day as appointment), but I'd like to know if it's the same day or a different day outside of Dublin th...

This sounds very dodgy my friend!

It is one of the inferred requirement that many non-EU nationals ignored. Most of the residence permissions require you to have a private medical insurance. Most insurance companies require you to be registered with a GP. Any health related services (e.g. prescription drugs, taking a vaccine, makin...

Today I got a mail asking me to provide these. Here's the exact sentence: Please submit a Doctor's letter showing date of registration and dates of attendance for the years 2015-2020 I've never heard of this requirement before. Do they mean a GP? What if I never registered as I never needed one befo...
