Well both me and my partner and my child are irish now. I can certainly say I will be staying here. As LP said if the economics permit. I like the style of living in here and I certainly like Dublin. But it something happen to me because my race like in the Romanians, I sadly have to leave. I am in ...

colako, Worry more about getting her past Immigration in the airport. This should be your area of focus. Once in Ireland, obtaining a PPS number for your fiancée and her receiving free antenatal care is a doddle. correct, and if you plan to bring her in, Make sure you tell them it is for family re...

I used to apply for UK visa, I believe once you have been granted visa in the past, the subsequence one will be straight forward. But I never came across finger printing, may be this is new. I used to apply them via internet then send passport and supporting document by post. It takes about 2 weeks,...

I remember reading a rule that tourist have to pay for hospital as well as consultant, the hospital will cost roughly 1800 a day. If you tried to get healthcare insurace like VHI, you only will be covered when the waiting period is over, this is about 52 weeks if I remember correctly. However I DID ...

if you are flying from cork, I don't think you have to. a lot of people now turning away from Ryanair, not just because this visa check. Last year I was flying to and from italy, luckily no visa stamp required at that time. But the boarding process was a mess for both way. I was bringing 6 years old...

Hi Guys, thanks for all your response on my question. Sorry I wasn't able to response sooner (being admitted to hospital).

Singapore. Does it depend on coutry?

If someone has been naturalized become irish citizen. Can he/she obtain stamp 6 on his/her previous foreign passport if the country of origin does not support dual citizen?

If I were you I just apply on the basis of your child has Irish parent and see what next

Lost Soul After applying in June 2006 I finally received my Certificate of Naturalisation yesterday. It is an A4 laminated certificate fairly presentable but two points stick out: 1) The INIS are too budget conscious to use decent envelopes so the postman folded it in half. 2) The certificate is com...

Yes mine is the same.

Anyway thanks for the update.

Yap that's right. acknowledgement. Mine was dated early last week, this mean even though I posted the letter 2 weeks before christmas, it was only open last week.

Strongbow I sent mine around 2 weeks before christmas and have confirmation letter last Friday. If I was you I will wait until the end of this week. The confirmation letter is using normal post.

Mendo, I kept my approval letter too, event though it has court stamp on it.

Strongbow, did you receive the confirmation letter once you have sent all letters?

I didn't send mine, but I sent my GNIB card (as per request.
I think the travel document might be for asylum seeker.

You probably need to purchase a travel insurance even though there is no guarantee visa will be issued. You need invitation letter from your freind stating you are being invited and will be staying in such address and will return to your original country. If your freind is not irish citizen, you als...

I would not suggest you to go to solicitor at all. Remember citizenship is an honour and in minister absolute power. The best thing is to write to your local TD and ask for help. It may be at the descretion of the minister, but they owe the applicant an answer whether positive or negative. This is ...

I just got confirmation that my file is still in the 'dreaded' Dublin office. I feel like walking on the walls now (I applied Jan 2005). :cry: Please honorable members of the forum, give me suggestions on how to tackle this problem ...solicitor? TD? I have written letters and made calls a 'million'...

Yes you do

Hi, The economy is in bad shape...and Ireland needs all the relevant foreigners that are actually helping out the economy. Therefore it is in the government interest to only fast track these applications. Ireland borows 45 millions euros a day. This is a game changer. If you've been here more than ...

Got a call from DoJ today.. although my case is kind of peculiar. you can read the background in my earlier post.. in summary the lady apologised on behalf of her colleagues who mishandled my application and told me to re-apply all over again.. that is after i've waited for more than 30 months.. th...
