Applying by end of December? Is that ok?

[javiercarrillo]

Hello - Based on my residency calculations (had to deduct over 60 days due to absence from the country a few years back) I can apply for citizenship on December 28.

I was wondering if that would work (e.g. INIS is closed or similar) or if I should just wait until January 2 (or maybe later?)

Thanks for any info

Your application day counts from the day the solicitor signs & witness it so you need to bear this in mind (make sure it is signed on/after the 28th of December). Some solicitor offices close for the christmas break and only return on the 5th of January. A week or two will not make a difference to your application to be honest.

Hi,

I would apply on Jan. 2, stamp with solicitor on Jan 2 and sent it right away after. There is no point to snd your passport on Dec.28 as it will be delivered only on the Jan 2.
