At long last I am now an Irish Citizen 🇮🇪 ☘️🍻 Documents received by the DFA: 10th February 2020 Address confirmation email received from the DFA: 31st March 2022 Congratulations email received the DFA: 4th April 2022 Documents and Foreign Birth Registration Certificate received: 8th April 2022 Almos...
I do agree with you that the DFA’s handling of FBR applications beyond a joke! But at the same time your constant posts about your personal situations really don’t need to be posted on here! You only applied for your FBR in June of this year so won’t be getting anything back regarding You being gra...
With all due respect, what the British government has negotiated (and agreed!) is not a concern of the Irish Government - Their concern is the safety of their employees, and, speaking with a family member who works at DFA, they only ever expedite claims in pregnancy, so the child will still have th...
Congrats Hollyq, I bet it was fab to receive the Irish passport with a golden harp on it. Can't wait until that day comes for me! Seems like in most cases it's taking about 18 months. My British one ran out and that is taking 10 weeks as opposed to the usual 3 - but I can live with that. I guess al...
I'm just off to the Post Office to sort out my UK passport application - seeing as I won't be getting my Irish passport with a golden harp on it any time yet. With all due respect I think you need to search for friends on Facebook for random chit-chat. I don't think anyone here needs daily updates ...
Can I please point out that no one's FBR application is guaranteed to be successful and citizenship on the basis of irish grandparents is not an automatic right, hence why an application has to be made and proof needs to be submitted which in some cases is not deemed sufficient enough. So let me ge...
I have to say, the fact that the office is likely now closed again all the way until at least April is absolutely insane. I could understand the office being closed during the first lockdowns, when this situation was new and the whole world was caught by surprise and shut down, but they've now had ...

As much as it is mightily inconvenient for those of us waiting for an FBR I'm not sure we should be criticising the way the Irish government are handling it, especially here. Pretty much every government in the world has faced criticism for the way they have handled things, whether it's doing too m...

I myself am about to go though the Foreign Birth Registration and register myself as an Irish citizen through my grandparents on my mothers side (who was both born in Ireland before moving to England to get married and live in the early 1950’s) I have original copies of both my grandparents Irish bi...
Please pursue it until you get a satisfactory answer. Don't you worry I will do! & Latintraveller I was talking to about this yesterday & he was not happy when he heard this, as he was also made to pay not only for his wife but his son too! S/ 700 in total & he also was telling me about...
I don't know, post back when you find out please. Once someone in Ireland replys I will post it up on here, They will probably say its an administration fee, which I find a bit steep, but the fact is we was told it was to cover courier fees which we have since learned to be a blatant lie! I'm sure ...
@chelsearob77, It is good that you challenged the fee. While the supporting documents might not have left the embassy, it is likely that the passport was sent to and from Mexico. If your wife cannot travel this time round, she could apply for another visa. The visa is for entry. Once in Ireland, sh...
Complain. The visa should have been free. My wife was grated her visa this past Monday so she went to the Irish embassy in Lima to collect it, but the fella that runs the embassy is a bit of a clown & forgot to give my wife back her supporting documents, so once she realised she called him &...
Others have posted that the EU commission considers reasonable postage charges to be outside of the scope of being "free", ie embassies can charge postage fees. That said, it seems to be quite a lot of money for postage. I would be inclined to ask for a breakdown and justification of the ...
Who is doing the charging? The Irish embassy or some intermediary? The Irish embassy in Lima, Peru are the ones charging this fee of s/ 350 (£90) claiming it is to cover the costs to send the application & documents to Mexico & back, me & my wife both think the man that runs the Irish e...

I also was charged this fee myself when my wife applied for her Irish visa in Peru last month, me personnely won't be saying anything to them regarding this fee until my wife has her visa from them
@chelsearob77, Not necessarily. Scenario 1: EU and non-EU enter together. Non-EU must complete within three months. Scenario 2: EU arrives first. Non-EU joins later, Non-EU must complete within three months of their date of entry. Ok there say I was to go to Ireland first then my wife was to join m...

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/transitthroughtheuk/visa-to-transit-landside/ Yes I've read this link you provided before But it don't seem very clear, What I need clarification on is will my Peruvian wife need a visa to trave landside onto Ireland with myself (if do which type ...
I'm a British citizen married to a Peruvian citizen (we have two kids together who are also British citizens) anyway we have been living in Peru for the past two years & are in the process of moving to Ireland, my wife applied for her Irish visa about a month ago (which should be granted early M...
The clock for EU starts three months after your first entry for treaty rights. A separate clock starts for non-EU spouse if entered post spouse in terms of deadline for making application, time spent toward five years' residence, etc. So the EU1 form would need to be completed & submitted withi...
just an update to the steps me & my wife would need to take to enter the UK to live via Ireland (I've added the correct names of the forms & in the order they are required) 1. I would need to find a job in an EU country (aside from UK, as i am a UK citizen) - Ireland would be fine. 2. My wif...
