will I need any police certificates for all the countries that I've stayed more than 6 months before coming to Ireland during the e-vetting process ? I have recently passed e-vetting and I'd lived in various countries for more than 6 months before coming to Ireland 14 years ago. I have not been ask...

Great information! So do we know if it’s cleared all necessary stages (I.e. 5 of each?) and is only waiting to be signed into law? See the details at the foot of the information from the link that Nala2021 supplied earlier today. Again, I think it worth encouraging TDs to ensure that the bill is en...

I think those already have a contact with TD(s), it would be more beneficial if they bring this bill and ceremony procedures to their attention instead of asking questions only for specific cases. Otherwise, math says the backlog will get worse as approval per year is lower compared to new applicat...

I am somewhat uneasy regarding what is going on as rather than clear the backlog starting from the old years it would appear that INIS have cherry picked 2023 applications in order to test their new system. By coincidence this will bring down the average processing time a lot more than if they clear...

The only real hope I have is that they recently committed (in writing) to complete all 2021/2 applications this year, so we’ll see if they stick to that commitment or not. All I have seen is "Our expectation is that applicants from across 2021-23 will be amongst those invited to citizenship ce...

Complain to your local TD. Show them how the 2023 applications are being processed in a few short months, whilst 2021 and 2022 applicants in many cases haven't even reached e-vetting stage. Utter disgrace!!! Thanks for the advice. I'll see how I get on with my TD. I decided to wait 2 months before ...

Tracking where? On the Garda vetting site? This would have nothing to do with the ISD. Have you tried contacting the vetting bureau? I phoned the vetting bureau but they told me that they won't communicate direct with applicants; only with the institution that made the application. So I was told to...

I wanted to know how many others were also still waiting to start the e-vetting process. My e-vetting process started in March (I applied for naturalisation in May 2022) but appears to have stalled. I suspect that the influx of vetting requests has knocked back my vetting application. Tracking show...

Hi there, I am just wondering when it was that you applied? And did you just submit the boarding passes etc. with it? Thanks I applied a year ago. No. I don't think it a good idea to send too much stuff with the application so I just explained in an attachment. I have kept the supporting boarding p...

Hi all, I have put a few queries up but the more I look into this, the more confused I am. I am UK citizen so don't need to do the calculator but I have also been away travelling a lot. I just wonder if you've been out of the country for more than six weeks, just from various weekends away, does th...

I submitted a request using the form.....

Thanks for posting this. I hope it works for you and that you can keep us advised of progress.

What is INIS up to?!? I’ve no idea if as many as 5% fail e-vetting or if those passing would need to go through e-vetting a second time due to the delays in processing applications. Others may know whether such a scenario makes sense. Just curious where can I get that stat? If not available through...

It's disgraceful that people are waiting 12-18 months for e-vetting if they applied in 2021 and 2022, when people who applied in 2023 are getting e-vetting in days to weeks! WTF is the delay with getting it done for 2021 and 2022 applicants if it can be done for 2023 applicants so easily. What is I...

Thanks. I suppose if they aren't happy first time round it will just mean some more delay.

I have started to prepare for eVetting as over the last few decades I have lived in various different countries and at over 40 different addresses. It seemed straightforward enough to put the year that I was first associated with an address and the year when that association ended. This gives rise t...

I compared them side by side on my computer and couldn't see any change apart from the version numbers.(But I did miss the spelling correction.)

Well known fact is CMU1 (non-EU) and CMU2 (EU and UK) has different queues and work loads. So it wouldn't be fair to compare non-EU and EU queue.

According to Form 8 (April 2022); EEA nationals, UK nationals and Spouse of Irish national - CMU 1
Non EEA nationals - CMU 2.

Having completed my application I found a couple of differences between Form 8 v6.5 and the current v6.6. p29 - "Family law matters" included in 11.1 which suggests that you may not be considered a person of good character if you have been involved in family law matters. p39 - Clarificatio...

Now updated to Version 6.6 Apr 2022.
So far I haven't been able to find any difference between Version 6.5 and Version 6.6 but I note that -
"If you complete an old version of a form, it will be returned to you and you will have to start again"!
