...please support this and make your statement clear to one and all. Nope, sorry. I will not support this or anything else designed to "crack down" or "control" any immigrants, be that legal or illegal. Because most probably it will make the life of legal immigrants harder by in...

I have a child born in here in 2002 while I was under work permit. I applied for citizenship in 2005 and after waiting for 36 months, the application was approved. I was always in work permit up to certain point, they grant me work permit for life (unimited), but still I have to go to GNIB every yea...

I don't know how long it takes as I never do this.
May be 2 weeks. can others help?

Yes, your child will still entitle to Irish citizen because he/she born in the island of Ireland which include Northen Ireland. I will advise you not to take chance to apply for WCATT anyway which will take shorter time to apply. I don't think it will affect your citizenship application in anyway. W...

Just to balance thing, I was in hospital several times couple months ago and the treatment were exceptionally good all nurses regardless ethnic. I have my citizenship last year. But if you remember a survey conducted by some newspaper couple months ago, non-irish name or name that looks like from ot...

If I remember correctly, you will need to send original nat cert. you can check in passport.ie.

http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/0828/migrant.html Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern has announced new rules for certain migrant workers who have been made redundant. The Government said the change is part of its policy of protecting employment. The changes relate to those people who are not citizens of ...

I cannot understand why it takes 4-6 weeks to apply for tourist visa. People that work in this section must be really under pressure (or no pressure) should I say. This is because the recommended cut back.

Folks, I have checked up on this. The only requirement is that if you move out of the country you need to file a declaration of intention to retain Irish citizenship at the Irish embassy of the country you are moving to. You need to do this every year. If you don't do this AND you live outside Irel...

Remember i lived in the UK for 11 years, before my family moved to Ireland. I went there as a 9 year old child. I am therefore saying this from personal experience and observation. I spent more time there than any other place on earth. I was in UK for 1 year and I can feel that. Of course I look di...

7. Q. What happens if I leave the State while my application is being processed? A. If you are leaving the State on a temporary basis, it would be preferable that you advise the Department of the circumstances, so that officials will be aware of the situation if they need to contact you in relation...

Thank you strongbow, I am pretty much the same, although I am no sure if I have to return my passport for cancellation. I'll ring the the embassy. is your old country allow dual citizenship? No, in whatever ways do you have to return your old passport to your ex-country? Not sure, will check do you ...

I would like to hear what people generally do about their original passport of their ex-country once they have received their irish citizenship. is your old country allow dual citizenship? do you have to return your old passport to your ex-country? do you apply for 'without condition endorment' in y...

I have not been travelling since I got the citizenship but have been admitted to hospital instead and claiming illness benefit.

That's right, applying by post is quicker. Funny enought when the passport is ready, they send your passport and other orignal document in REQULAR POST. When you received the naturalisation from INIS it was sent using REGISTER POST. can someone help me and explain, why passport and other important d...

cheers

No It won't. Every Irish child under 18 years old entitle to child benefit. A lot of people receiving child benefit and still have their naturalization granted.

Yes, they will need a visitor's visa for UK even if just transiting through the U.K. If you are a national of a country to which the transit without visa concession does not apply and you are transiting to Ireland, you will need to hold a visit visa for the United Kingdom. A direct airside transit ...

Hi guys, I applied my application in dec 07 and last time i heard from them was about a year ago,Should i ring them? I was employed when i applied my application but since last year im unemployed so this mean they won't grant me the naturalisation. Please reply back soon and especially anyone who i...

You can go for holiday of course. It means you must have 12 months resident permit in the last year of your stay.

If you have reached reckonable period of 5 year, the decision have to be made in 6 months, not 23 months, plus more waiting. The reason for this is so people can plan ahead and not hanging around waiting for decision. It is a bit unfair. It is better to say the reckonable period is 7 years so people...
