You can go for Stamp 5, but for that you will need to stay in Ireland for 8 years and student permission doesn't count for that. You can also try and find another way of staying here (ie work permit) if you wish to find another way for independence.jjose033 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 02, 2022 12:32 pmthanks for the reply, that would make sense my confusion was arising since based off my permission I am being treated as a minor/dependent young adult, I am happy enough with stamp4 the only thing is its restrictive such that I need to stay in same house etc. which means i cant move out into other region for a separate job or settle down elsewhere whereas on stamp 5 I should have some sort of freedom also might save a few quid with renewals since stamp 4 i usually get for 1 year stretches'.
Also judging from my case would I be correct in saying that I have missed my chances at citizenships at two instances one when my mother naturalized and i was still under 18. and two when i returned in 2018 when I was 23 whereby i could have applied as young adult instead of getting stamp4 .
I have no idea, honestly, if your time spent in the country as a minor would count, so you can either wait and see if anyone else will provide their input or seek professional legal advice (you might start with MRCI, for example, I emailed them my query when I was rather desperate and got a reply).You have completed 8 years (96 months) legal residency in Ireland under the appropriate permission which will be reflected by Immigration stamps in your passport
