Thanks again chaoclive for that. The disadvantage in SS (if I'm correct...) is that you have to have lived together in another EU country outside of Ireland (your "now" state) and the UK (where you want EUTR). Given that you've gone down the renunciation route, would you recommend it...? ...
Thanks chaoclive, both for your insight and the links - I can indeed see that, within one document, one class of application refers to "the State", and another to "the island...". As for why not exercise EU Rights in UK, the complication is that the EU citizen holds both British...

Thanks for your reply - yes - I understand that NI is part of UK, but... You accept that the application for spouse citizenship specifically mentions "in the state", but also refers to the situation where the required three years have been spent in Northern Ireland...? So if THAT form see...
I totally understand that, and with respect, I’m not confusing different laws, rules, or regulations. I’m simply asking for a definition of “in the State” on the Irish version of EU1. And I’m not nit-picking - you’ll be aware that in the original constitution of the Irish Free State, the “State” re...

My partner was asked why his signature on his passport doesn't match that on the application form. We just replied and told them the truth: he signed his passport in Chinese but now has adopted an English signature (having been here for a few years). After writing the reply to INIS (August, 2017), w...
Depending on a type of application. Have you applied to UKVI or INIS. UKVI usually take long time to make decisions. 12-18 months normally but right now they must be extremely busy due to high numbers of applications because of Brexit. I'm sure Arr51 means the Irish citizenship application (to INIS...
Thank you so much for your reply actually this is the bit which confuses me. Why they are referring 5 years. I m just concerned that may be they have any requirements to must live 5 years before apply for Naturalisation under atleast 3 years of being married/ civil partnership. 2 out of 4 and then ...
It's definitely 3 years living on the island of Ireland as long as you are married/in a civil partnership with the Irish citizen. The details are here: http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/moving_country/irish_citizenship/becoming_an_irish_citizen_through_marriage.html#l1f4da http://www.inis.gov.ie/...
Hi there I'm an Irish citizen living and working in the UK. I don't have British citizenship. My civil partner has an EEA family member residence card issued under Directive 2004/38/EC. We plan to travel to Greece soon and would like to ask if any other same sex partners have had any issues entering...
It's the EEA Family Permit for 6 months. I can only apply for the 5 year Residence Card once in the UK. I don't think the EEA FP will allow entry to Ireland. You need to have a residence card: 'Residence card of a family member of an EU citizen You do not need a visa for Ireland if: You are a famil...
hi there i am writing on behalf of a mate. she is a british citizen who is dating a female filipino citizen. they want to get married and them move back to northern ireland. there are a few things that she needs some help with: 1) are filipino citizens able to take part in same sex marriages with br...
You're an Irish citizen. I think the only possible exclusion may be if your father was on diplomatic business (but I don't think that applies in your case). The only thing to do now is to provide your long-form birth certificate and apply for your passport on the relevant form. Where is your home co...
I was wondering about how long (roughly) it may take from the second stage letter too. My civil partner received his 2nd stage letter today, after waiting just over 3 months. I'm just curious about long other people had to wait. He applied on the basis of 3 years of residence in NI as the civil part...
My civil partner (Chinese, living with me (Irish only) in Belfast) got his PSNI report within 3 weeks so don't worry about that timescale. It might be quicker. I would email INIS (citizenshipinfo@justice.ie) and explain everything. You can send them a copy of the certificate of application as it cle...
I was told that the citizenship division would accept printed electronic payslips/bills etc at the citizenship application stage for my non-EEA civil partner. I don't think this would be a problem when applying for a passport either. An electronic document is an 'original' document. 'Original' doesn...
Naturalised Irish citizens should not assume that their citizenship will automatically be revoked due to inadvertent non-compliance with this requirement. They should, however, be aware that it's a possibility. Being "aware" of something doesn't really add any value in itself- what specif...
Unless you have a residence card issued by a member state that specifically states that you are the family member of an EEA citizen, you need a visa. A work permit from Portugal will not allow you to negate this requirement. See here: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Family%20Members%20of%20EU_E...

Out of interest- once she becomes an Irish citizen she immediately becomes "settled" in the U.K.- and since you're also a British citizen she could apply for British naturalisation immediately as long as she has 3 years legal United Kingdom residence at the time (although there is a physi...
Hi there Just wanted to add a timeline. My civil partner applied as the spouse of an Irish citizen living in Northern Ireland. Application Based On: 3 years of residence in NI as civil partner of an Irish citizen Applied On: 8th August 2017 Application delivered On: 10th August 2017 Acknowledgement:...
Form 8 (APPLICATION BY A PERSON OF FULL AGE FOR NATURALISATION AS AN IRISH CITIZEN) states: 'Where the residency is in Northern Ireland, evidence must be given of being lawfully resident in that jurisdiction for the period of 1 year immediately prior to the application and a further 2 years in the 4...
