Re: Children naturalization application

Is the typical time for naturalization for children same as that of adults? I would hope and expect it to be shorter. Is it the case? Thanks The citizenship office will quote the same average (19 mos) as they don't differentiate in their processing timeline statistics. TDs have asked for this infor...

Re: Original passport application based on naturalization

It appears on the other thread that some people have been successful sending in the original citizenship certificate, a certified copy of their full passport (similar to the naturalization process - i.e. certified copies of every page) plus a certified copy of the PSC. I also sent a certified copy o...

I don't want to rant but disappointed with the decision of making people wait for another 6 months. I'm sure ISD is dedicated and wants to reduce the number of applications in queue, I think people should reach out to TD's and request Minister to have another ceremony before December or continue cu...

There are many issues which provide "reason to still use that": 1) The wait time of 6 months (or 5, or 4, or 3...ultimately, it's an arbitrary wait of any length) 2) The cyclical influx of new passport applications in an already strained system 3) Forcing people to take a day off of work, ...

Hey, Unfortunately this was predictable that temporary process will end. The government was not ready to change the law. They only agreed for temporary solution. The only question now is why the department schedule only two ceremony for this year. I think it should be at least 4 or 5 based on previ...

Looks like as of this month the affidavit process is no longer going to be used - my 'proposal to grant' letter received a few days ago (17 May 2022) includes this language: With the re-introduction of citizenship ceremonies the temporary process of swearing the oath of fidelity to the nation by mea...

Re: Can the citizenship be revoked?

That is, technically yes you must - if you will be resident outside Ireland for more than 7 years. Even...

Re: Naturalisation query - absence issue

I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice, etc... My understanding is that: - Absences under 6 weeks in a given year are disregarded in calculating against the reckonable residence days - Absences over 6 weeks in a given year are subtracted *in their entirety* (i.e. no 6 week "discount"...
