Hello, On Sat 30 May I flew to Stansted airport on a flight coming from Dublin. I was quite surprised that when we arrived, we were asked to show our passports and our boarding pass. Normally, the authorities in UK airports ask for the boarding card only since there is a Free Travel Area operating b...
This is quite bad actually! I mean, even if you're foreigner, you might be registered to vote here, so they shouldn't make that comment at all. They might have thought you were a tourist (did you have a camera?)... But still, I think the comment is completely inappropriate. Anyway, I don't think Fin...
Got my approval letter 28/05/09 (regular post!). Letter dated by 26/05/09. Applied 10/04/2006. Additional docs requested and sent back late September 2008. Sent to minister (from INIS "Help" line words) 01/04/2009. Any news about Court appointments in Dublin? Congratulations u0453! It loo...
The link has disapeared. But the page is still there: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Contact%20Details%20for%20Citizenship%20Section It looks like somebody at INIS removed the link to the page by mistake.... Or probably they're working on the page and they have taken it "offline" tem...
LuasPassenger, The cynics said this day will never come. Yes it came. A ragtag band of foreigners declaring their rights (and privileges) to be Irish based on rules set, yes you've become one of them. You've struggled for what did not seem possible before, that is what Hope is. Keep us in your hear...
Hello friends! I have some very good news to share. Today I received my approval in the post! :) (It wasn't registered post). I got an appointment in Dolphin House for September. :( But anyway, I'm happy that I already got the approval!!! I have just added my details to scrudu's spreadsheet. Here is...
[...] Just a quick Qs to all. I was just wondering if getting the indefinite residency (stamp 5/6) would speed-up things? Nop. It wouldn't make any difference at all to your naturalisation application. I asked this to INIS and they told me the naturalisation process and the "without condition ...
Wow! :o What's going on in INIS? :? So many approvals this week! :D :D :D (Did they shorten the tea breaks or was there just a good round of 4r$e-kicking?) No sign of mine yet though. :roll: They probably managed to get tea intravenously through a continuous drip. That way they can be productive wh...

I am an Indian citizen with a multiple entry 6 month tourist visa for the UK, I read somewhere that I will not need a separate visa to enter Ireland (Dublin), I plan to go there from London. Is this true? thanks! This is not true. You DO need an Irish visa (even if you have a UK visa) to travel to ...
278. Deputy CaoimhghÃn Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of pending naturalisation applications that were filed in 2006; the number that were filed in 2005; and the number that were filed in previous years. [18802/09] Minister for Justice, Equality and ...

Folks I have recieved my approval letter today. Very relieved after a long wait. I called INIS about 3 weeks back and was told my application was ready to be submitted to the minister. So looks like it took less than three weeks to get the decision. My timeline: Application : July 2006 Acknowledgem...
What about trips to the UK? I'll be travelling in 2 weeks to the UK and I will be checking in online. Do I still have to go to the Ryanair Visa/Immigration Desk? And by the way, where is this desk located in Dublin airport? Do they have this desk in all airports that serve RyanAir flights? Are they ...
Hi LuasPassenger, Question for ya. I got WCT (Without Condition as to Time) endorsement last week on my passport. There is no mentioning of stamp 5 or 6. I guess I'll get it when I go to for GNIB card ? Am I right ? Also after that do I need to go to Visa section to get some sort of WCT sticker on ...
Hi El Niño: I don't see why not. Nothing indicates otherwise in the INIS website. Just to be sure, I'd give them a call just in case. (01) 6167700. Choose option 3 and then option 5 (if they haven't changed the menus---anyway it should be general immigration and they only attend the phone on Tuesd...
Hi guys, I have just applied for the WCAT stamp on Monday, I am not really sure if I am entitled to it or not but I applied anyway. Anyhow, my question is if I do get granted the Stamp 6 on my passport, will I be able to leave Ireland for a long period of time ( studying in another country for 2 ye...
Hello, As most of you already know, I applied for a WCT (Without Condition as to Time) endorsement / Stamp 6 in February. Well, I just wanted to tell you that I just travelled for the first time with this endorsement. Yesterday I passed through Immigration in Dublin airport and the Immigration Offic...
