scrudu: You already had some idea in mind and still posted the question, you were just hoping somebody support your decision to go on holiday, and if other people suggested different ideas as yours, you defined them as unhelpful. People weight Naturalisation invitation differently. Don't think above...

Just received ceremony invitation in Dublin, it is on 2nd or 3rd Feb 2012.

Hi IQU, thank you for the input, will check with GNIB office.

I have got citizenship approved recently. haven't applied for Irish passport yet. I need to use my original passport to travel back to home country recently,do I have to pay 100 euro if I apply for re-entry visa? Can i get re-entry visa without the GNIB card?

got approve letter today, applied on July 2010, had 5 year working visa in IT section.

Granted LTR 5 years stamp in Aug 2011(applied on Mar, 2011), hope this helps.

A friend of mine and myself both received citizenship approved letters today. Me: applied July 2010 Me friend: applied Mar 2011 Both were not asked for additional documents. It seems the governments are doing something, I am sure those who are still waiting will receive reply soon. 950 euro per pers...

...They're double-yellow parking & one headlamp not working (bulb-failure)! at separate times. Thanks. Hard to believe you got rejected with two minor offences. But some people posted here saying they got citizenship approved with penalty points. I have 1 penalty point for making illegal left t...

If you do indeed still have the option of renewing your WV. I'll say go for it for the reasons aforementioned. If however everyone is now being lumped on the temporary stamp 4 bandwagon, then you can only hope and pray. I have no idea what the option will be after my 5 year WV completed. does anybo...

. I will however advice that you may be better off to renew your WV for another 2 years. thanks 9j. Will I have choice to renew another 2 years? I though the 1-year temporary stamp 4 was compulsory after your 5-year Working Visa according to this: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Policy%20for%2...

I am on working Visa(IT) on stamp 4, next year my visa is going to be expired, it will be my 6th year in ireland, will I get a year temporary stamp 4? I am not going to apply for Long term residence as I have applied for naturalization. will i be able to renew the visa if one-year temporary stamp 4 ...

Don't mess with agniukas linn, this user has insider info....i think agniukas works in DoJ :shock: ! i wish :D We all wish, so that many of us who are waiting for decision of citizenship can no longer chase inis staff called "Marry" but you. :lol: I am considering applying for LTR, but no...

just to correct you on long term residency. it does not take 2 years now. it's just under 12 months. LTR are processing application received february 2010. yes, 2010 :) Not sure where you got the information from, look at inis website http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Long_Term_Residency : Appli...

Thanks bpsai09. It's been almost 2 weeks, I haven't received any response. Have you solved your name issue yet?

Hi, I recently applied irish naturalisation, but they have sent the documents to amend few details on it. That because i have printed the names of dad, mom & my wife (first name + surname format). The supporting documents which i have submitted from india has got the names in , starting with in...

Thank IQU, am just scared cos i got a good job and i dont want them to refuse me. My landord gave me a letter and copy of the prbt form that he will be applying and i send all the copy to DOJ Hi Johnkenn, did you get your temporary stamp 4 after working 5 years? What is the requirement to renew the...

People who are applying for LTR are optimists with too much money, IMO :) I did not apply for LTR but applied for Citizenship, not sure if it is correct decision or not. The LTR takes around 2 years and costs 500 for 5 year visa, and citizenship takes around 2.5 years and costs 950 to get a passpor...

I've got my "temporary Stamp 4" almost a year ago. What is "temporary Stamp 4"? Did you mean you get a year stamp after you have 5 years working visa? Last year I had my third working visa renew for 2 years, does it mean I will get that "temporary Stamp 4" on my next r...

Has anybody noticed this police update? Those who have worked over 5 consecutive years and in the process of LongTerm Residency/Naturalisation will be exempted from the requirement to hold a work permit but have to renew the visa on annual basis instead of 2-year basis: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INI...

Hi, can anyone tell whether claiming for Medical Expenses tax relief affect the Naturalisation approval? thanks!

Don't worry about that zafarzafar. I got the citizenship with 4 points on my licence. Penalty points and fines do not affect citizenship applications. Good luck Hi Nehro, I have 1 penalty point and 2 parking fines, am about to apply for citizenship. There are two fields on the application form rega...

Thank you strongbow! The link is helpful. The reckonable residence is actually about the Stamp on ur passport rather than the days you staying in the Ireland.
