Looks nice. You may want to add that: can the response be followed by the name of the person attending to the email, so that You can be very specific with the source of the information.

Hi all, I received my visa to travel with my british wife to Ireland to exercise the EU Treaty Rights by living and working. I applied for visa to ACCOMPANY EEA SPOUSE but got JOIN EEA SPOUSE !!! The matter now is we will be travelling together on the same day and plane to Ireland and i am afraid t...

I am a Dependant of my mother who recently became an Irish Citizen. The valid question to ask here is are you 18 or older? This is because there is a limit to what your Mum can do as you would be considered an adult. We would like to know if we can change my stamp 3 to stamp 4 and if it's possible ...

I am not sure if 'asylum seekers' have GNIB cards. Maybe you meant if OP has been granted refugee status.

Apart from your letter of invitation, it makes sense to have a valid ID with you, preferably your current valid passport.

The next citizenship ceremonies will take place in The Convention Centre Dublin, Spencer Dock, North Wall Quay, Dublin 1 Monday 20th May 2013. Some 2080 candidates will attend the ceremonies where they will take an oath of fidelity to the nation, receive their certificate of naturalisation and there...

Certain nationals can be required to have transit visas irrespective as to whether they leave the airport or not. For Schengen states, EU family members are except from this requirements (see visa code). EUsmileWEallsmile that is correct. Airside transit visa is required by some countries for passi...

Thank you DKD. That insightful post gave a more sensible reason why so many applicants are stuck in the roller-coaster that is "Garda checks"

I know you would say that. I am sorry but I dont believe you really are. Anyways best of luck with your opinions and point of view. Just because you dont believe me does not diminish the fact that I am a naturalised Irish. Sometimes, it is sensible to see things from a different perspective and not...

You have to be naturalised to understand my point and I have never seen any naturalised person arguing about this. I still think it is irrelevant. However, just so that you know, I am not just a naturalised Irish Citizen but also that of another Non-Shengen EU state. I tend to only debate this with...

Being a Naturalised Irish Citizen does not mean you denounced your previous citizenship. Ireland allows dual citizenship so Naturalised citizens could reside in the country they were born as long as they please without the need to filling a bloody form every year for the embassy. I dont remember su...

I strongly disagree with comments. Firstly may I ask if you are naturalised ? That question is irrelevant to this debate. Secondly naturalised citizens dont have to bear in mind all the time that if they did not register their intention to retain Irish citizenship that it may be revoked!. Why not? ...

If they travel and live in their country of origin, what happens to their citizenship then? The Citizenship is generally based on the premise that the applicant will continue to live in the state in the foreseeable future. Except where the applicant has confirmed that he/ she do not intend to stay ...

Critical conditions to be met includes: - Ensure you are insured to drive the car - Ensure a valid road tax disc is displayed on the car - Ensure you have a valid driver's licence I can almost with certainty confirm that you should be GRAND! :) All the best, valid road tax: is this just UK road tax...

I am British citizen currently in United Kingdom with my wife and we are making plans for residential stay in Ireland. Basically she is from a "visa nation" and she doesn't hold a residence card issued for family members by an EU country. However we want to travel together although she do...

First post- but have been lurking for awhile as we plan our move to ROI. Thanks for all the useful info so far. Wife (UK citizen) and I (US citizen) are moving our business to the ROI (self-employed), under DW's EUTR. We are currently US residents. I expect I'll be posting with other aspects of our...

Hi Emilie, I have only started this ridiculous process myself and I have encountered equally unhelpful gardai at my local garda station where they take at least 10 days to return your call and don't seem to know anything about the immigration system that they are running.... BUT I went into the cen...

Only spouses of irish nationals need 3 years reckonable residence. All others need 5 years of reckonable residence, even if they are parents of Irish citizen children. If she already has 3 years, she needs another 2 years before applying. Thanks Agniuskas, Any one else please ? I called the Irish I...

Hi, I got my naturalization recently and I wanted to apply for my wife on the basis of 3 Years residency. She is on Stamp # 3 which means she did not work till now. But also did not claim any benefits. So I am sending following documents in support of her application. 1. Completed Naturalisation Ap...

You should count the reckonable periods from your passport, ie the time you were on work permit conditions. Do not count the gaps or the periods when you were not in permission. also, could you find out whether your permission was revoked when you left your employer? In anyway, if you think you qua...

Since they are both exercising their rights and thus no longer have restrictions. The "restrictions" are that they need to be exercising treaty rights, so no in the example you quoted, no citizenship. EUsmileWEallsmile, Now I am "almost" confused too :) But in the examples given...

But he born in Ireland and he has been her for more than 5 years!! Blue bird, You are very unlikely to get approval for your son. The conditions for a CoN for a minor are clear - at least one of the parent must be entitled to Irish citizenship. Except, either one of you have been in Ireland at leas...
