You will have to submit an application form with all the original documents in relation to the residence for both of you and your wife's exercise of EU Treaty Rights.

Statement by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence, Alan Shatter, T.D., in response to the Immigrant Council of Ireland’s report on ‘Access to citizenship and its impact on immigration integration’ Key Points: · Figures date from 2008 – given the unprecedented changes since then, these are ...

if you were born on the island of ireland they will find out about your irish citizenship, and application for EUTR will not be accepted, or will be refused.

i wouldn't worry about that. they use your legacy 69/ number as the reference number. that was the case for everyone up until recently.
it's just your reference number, so that they can find you easily on the system when you write in or send any documents.

no, just naturalisation

Obie, just to correct you a bit... it costs 175 EUR to lodge an application for naturalisation

they are all your reference numbers that you have to quote with your correspondence to department of justice. legacy number 69/...../.... is your old department number person ID 123456-12 is your personal number. it will stay the same all the tim application number 1500000-ICC-12 is your application...

i don't think that OP has permanent residence yet, therefore, the 2 year timelimit does not apply.

Absence of the EU citizen from Ireland for more than 6 months could have implications for you. There are some exceptions in the Regulation, check them out. I think it's Regulation 8.2 but not sure and cannot find it now.

if the card has not been issued yet, then he will need visa to enter ireland

As far as I understand, if your hasband has a Residence or Permanent residence card from Italy on the basis of being your spouse and you, the EU citizen, exercising your EUTR in Italy, he does not need entry visa to ireland if you are both travelling together and have a marriage cert and his Residen...

COCAO, it's easier if the parents are non visa required. Then they can seek permission to remain as self sufficient person. they would have to show the financial funds (pensions from back home, etc) and have medical insurance. they could get stamp 3.

I would guess that the certificatation division is preparing naturalisation certificates. I would say you don't have long to wait.

That means that you got a six months 'window' to enter the country. It will probably be from today to start of August. Your spouse must enter before her entry visa expires. Entry visas are valid for crossing the border only. At the airport your spouse will get a stamp for either 1 or 3 months. Then ...

I heard some stories from people that were stopped at the airport and it was found out that they were on the social welfare payments while spending a few months abroad 'on holidays'. Also there are cases where the whole plane has to put all their luggage through the x-ray machine in search for cigar...

I would say that until you hold an Irish passport in your hand, the fee for the GNIB card for your spouse will not be reduced.

as your wife is not irish, you have to wait until you complete 5 years on stamp 4 / EUFAM before you qualify to apply for naturalisation. You will still have to renew your current permission when it expires in 2013 by applying for EU3 or EU1. You also have an option to change your permission to resi...

it's a standard reply, meaning that it could take 6 months or it could take longer, lets say 12 months

I would say that you have to wait another year. then lets say a month before your stamp expires, try to renew your permission with stamp 4. that way, you will covered, and can submit your application exactly a year after your jan 2013 stamp without any gaps. or you can apply for long term residency ...

once your husband starts employment, he will register his employment with Revenue and will be issued a tax credit certificate, which he then can submit with EU1 form

people mainly went for Stamp 5, because it is valid till the expiry of the passport. lets say passport is valid for 10 years, so Stamp 5 covers you for 10 years and you dont have to renew your stamp and pay for the GNIB card every year, which is 300 Euros now

if you application is based on de facto with irish national, i am not sure if you can consider yourself as having stamp 4 while waiting. If you are in de facto relationship with an EU citizen other than Irish, then you should receive a temp stamp 4 shortly if you and the EU citizen satisfy the condi...

well, it's possible that back in 2010 they did not check the 'character' whether you have been good or bad. that's why you were granted stamp 5. but if they checked now and something came up, i am not sure how it will be dealt with. by the way, with a drink driving conviction you would have a proble...

are you an asylum seeker and still waiting for your application to be processed? if not, what is your current situation, what kind of permission do you have.

if you want to renew your stamp 5, you have to send them ORIGINAL passports.
