Why should it be less?
It's 5 years.

Does this card have permanent residency written on it or EU fam ? Any body have permanent residency in ireland. I have it. It says 4EU Fam and they usually issue it for a period of 10 years. i thought that the card was issued based on the number of years left on one's passport. Of course, but permi...

Every time she was answering, she was saying something good and was quite precise comparing to others. So, yep, this is a quite good news. Now i hope the s...
