Irish citizenship and holidays

[jiyakhan7860]

Hi All.
I am living as EU Spouse on EUFAM 5 years RC in Ireland since 5 Feb 2017
I arrived in Ireland on 5th Feb 2017 from another EU Country on RC Card, on arrival i got entry type stamp, then i went out of Ireland for few days to UK and came back ireland on 15th March 2017 at that time i got a stamp saying register with INIS in 3 months that stamp valid till 14 June 2017, i applied on EU1 Form and got Temp stamp upto June and then on 1st Nov 2017 i got EU CIT CARD FAM Letter and got my stamp in passport on 16 Nov 2017 till Nov 2019 ( till expiry of my Pak Passport, which i renewed now till 11 Nov 2022. I have 3 questions now.
1. What date and year i will b able to apply for my Irish Citizenship.
2. What date i will apply for my permanent RC. EU 3 and how long application take for decision.
3. Can i go on holidays in 2021 for less then 30 days or no as due to rule for nationality that i need to b in Ireland for full 365 +1 days.
Just clarifying here i always only stayed less then 30 days out of ireland since Feb 2017 till 2020.
My EU Spouse always worked plus self employed in the state and v never claimed any benefit at all so far.

You only count the periods where you have explicit permission to stay in Ireland. This can be stamps on your passport or a permission letter.

Based on what you described:
- 15 March 2017 - 14 June 2017 -> 3 months
- 16 Nov 2017 - 16 Nov 2019 -> 2 years
That means you need another 2 years 9 months from 17 Nov 2019.

This gives you Aug 2022.

You can be out of the state for up to 42 days every year.

Thanks for ur reply.
Sori i m more confused.
I got 3 month stamp on 15 Mar 2017 till 14 June 2017 at Dublin Airport.
I got Temp Stamp 4 from June 2017 till Nov 2017.
Then i Got EU FAM 5 yrs letter in Nov 2017 but my passport had only 2 years left in expiry thats why i got stamp in my passport till Nov 2019 and now on new passport i got till Nov 2022.
What about can i go on holidays again in 2021. What bot wen can i apply for EU3 Permanent RC.
Thanks

Ok so just some minor adjustment:

- June 2017 - Nov 2017 -> 5 months
- 16 Nov 2017 - 16 Nov 2019 -> 2 years
That means you need another 2 years 7 months from 17 Nov 2019 i.e. June 2022.

Your reckonable residence is based on the Stamp 4 stamps shown in passport and/or the GNIB card expiry dates shown on your card. When you changed your passport is irrelevant.

As I mentioned, you can spend 42 days out of the state in any of the 5-year period.
