In Cork City, where I live and took my oath, you just turn up at 9.30 any Monday morning and they take you in. No need to make an appointment. The snag may be the address on your yellow form. Phone the District Court and ask you may be lucky. Failing that you could always try telling them that you m...
I emailed the Spouse of Irish National Unit on: INISsinu@justice.ie. Explained that my daughter, who is now 25, arrived in Ireland with me in 2002. She has been on a Student Stamp ever since. As I am now Irish could she also be given a Stamp 4 like my wife? They replied in a few days and asked for h...
Following my naturalisation I was able to immediately receive a Stamp 4 for my spouse. On application I was also granted a Stamp 4 for my daughter who had lived in Ireland for seven years but always as a Student.
The Irish SOLVIT Centre now has its own dedicated website at: http://www.solvitireland.ie SOLVIT is an informal problem-solving network launched by the European Commission in 2002. It was created to solve problems that EU citizens or businesses are experiencing with the public administrations of EU...
Unemployment should benefits should be made available to irish citizens only, not immigrants who have paid low tax for a short period of time. immigrants should be working, not living off the irish taxpayer Very helpful comment you idiot! I paid tax on an income of €80k to €110k for eight years...
My whole family and I made use of Dental Benefits, Healthcare, Children's Allowance etc. The only thing we never used was Jobseekers Allowance. I had no problem getting naturalised. You guys are becoming neurotic. One guy even asked whether getting caught driving in a bus lane would disqualify him. ...
You need to send all the stuff asked for in the application form. Copies of every page of everyone of your passports, Birth certificate, 3 months bank statements etc. In addition you need to send full copies of your mother's passports from the date of her arrival in Ireland until her naturalisation ...
No she's still on Stamp 2 student visa. You have Irish connections and can apply for naturalisation. You need to make all this very clear in your application. They will then waive the need for five years reckonable residency or count the time spent as a student, same result. Please read my earlier m...
A word of caution: Once you elect to register at an Irish College as an International student you are not allowed to change your status even if you later qualify for EU fees. I had great difficulty changing my daughter's status from international to EU even after living in Ireland for seven years an...
When I took my oath in Cork, where I live, they asked for my address. I got the distinct impression that had I lived outside the Cork area they would have shown me the door.
The difference between that scenario and ours is that that situation was based on a student applying for naturalisation solely on the basis of residency in Ireland. Unfortunately this will never be successful as the time spent as a student is not reckonable. My daughter's application is based on her...
The other issue I am wondering about is how do they claim dealing with different categories separately (asylum seakers, minors, and spouses) from the general naturalisation queue, if our applications would take 2 yrs+ to process. I am quite buzzled.. Sure these 3 groups toghether are only a minorit...
while watching asylum (or economic) made-citizens walking in front of you in EU side with no wait and everything is nice and smooth (While I am paying their social benefits !). I object to this facial statement. I am probably paying the social benefits of several Irish citizens and am also a senior...
