COuple of questions: 1. Given that his passport will have less than 6 months validity at the time, will he ha...
Just a general question? Does that mean a naturalized Irish citizen's spouse has to show her own financial means to get the citizenship? Don't think so usually. But I think this particular situation is complicated by the fact that we won't be having any income for the next year unless my wife takes...
...tried to contact them in tipp. today but after approx. 47 mins. of listening to a pre-recorded message i decided to hang up !! Surely it doesn't take THAT LONG to attend to a general telephonic enquiry ? Extremely poor customer-service....inis, it's time to pull your socks up.... They could just...
@9jeirean, She's on a stamp 4 (spouse of Irish citizen). [That is where it gets a bit trickier seeing as you are planning to leave the country. IMHO, I think your best bet is to send in those documents now ahead of your leaving he country and hope that they don't come back to ask for updates. Good l...
I agree with AShawna the condition for naturalization is that the applicant is living in Ireland, and are not burden on state etc. Since your wife applied on her own behalf (not being spouse of Irish citizen) she will be judged as a normal applicant (meaning jobs/payslips/p30 etc etc). ok, I unders...
I am Irish by naturalisation, got naturalised in Dec-2008. My wife is non-EU and she has applied for her naturalisation in July 2009. She applied on the basis of her own residence in state for 5 years (she did not apply as the spouse of Irish citizen since 3 years had not elapsed between the time th...
ben, Thanks for the quick reply. She's already got a 5 year tourist visa to UK, so airlines etc is not an issue. Does she need to get any specific stamp at the airport to say that she's entering as a spouse of EU citizen? I didnt understand this part. After the first three months, you will need to g...

My wife needs to provide P21s to the Justice department for naturalisation process. We(my wife and I) are being jointly assessed since 2005 and I am the primary assessee since my salary is higher than hers. When my wife requested for P21s she got P21s with only my name in it but it mentions the empl...
Just wondering if anyone can help me with this. I am trying to find out if my spouse is eligible for naturalisation on the basis of marriage to an Irish citizen. I've been asking the Dept of Justice for this but did not get any answer at all. She is already eligible to apply for naturalisation in he...
I have a query regarding change of name. My wife and I have been married for 4 years but my wife has retained her maiden surname so far. She is non-EU whereas I got naturalised recently. She will be eligible to apply for her Irish naturalisation in April this year and she also wants to assume my sur...

Can she now work without a work permit? 2. if so, is it just a case of both of us going to GNIB and showing them our marriage certificate a...
