Yes. 50+50+70 = 170.
Everyone can request it, but it will be empty in your case, as you didn't receieve social welfare; it won't count as it shows nothing.
Thank you so much for your insight! It really cleared up the confusion.meself2 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 6:02 pmYes. 50+50+70 = 170.Everyone can request it, but it will be empty in your case, as you didn't receive social welfare; it won't count as it shows nothing.
For the last part - if that's all you have, go for it. This system is only a year old and there's only been three? approvals with it - there's a huge gap about what's acceptable and what's not. But they seem to be lenient.
The way six week rule works is as following:yuki_vm wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 7:44 pmJust one more question about the timeline -
if i counted my time from Nov, 2019, I could start my application Nov, 2024? then, if i considered 20 days extra (on top of 6 weeks each year) that I was travelling outside of Ireland only last year, I would be able to start my application Dec, 2024? Is my understanding correct?
Thank you for explaining the 6 weeks rule. For the final year before the application, do I have to stay in Ireland for continuously 365 days or I can still travel outside of Ireland for less than 6 weeks?meself2 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 8:13 pmThe way six week rule works is as following:yuki_vm wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 7:44 pmJust one more question about the timeline -

- if you were outside of Ireland for less than six weeks (42 days) for the year, you can count this year as if you were fully present in the country.
- If you were out for 43 days and above, you have to be in the country for 5 years + 43(or more) days.
Feel free to consider your absences, taking into account the rules, and calculate when you're able to apply.

You can travel for less than six weeks in the final year, but be careful - if you're out of the country for longer, continuous residence requirement will not be fulfilled and you would have to wait another year.yuki_vm wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:50 amThank you for explaining the 6 weeks rule.

In both cases, the final 12 months must be continuous residence in the State with up to 6 weeks allowed to facilitate foreign travel for business family or holiday purposes.

Payment statement is for social welfare you have been paid out, so it should be zero.yuki_vm wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:00 pmI read something on fb today regarding the social welfare annual statement, and then I requested the 'contribution statement' from my welfare, I do have records since 2019. But for the 'payment statement' shows 0. I am hoping to get more clarification if this could be used as the proof for the Department of Social Welfare Annual Statement - 50 points?
Someone posted on FB some screenshots of the e-mail communication with the citizenship helpdesk stating either a payment statement or a contribution statement can be used for the 50 points. I will also try to get more clarification myself from there just to be safe. I don't have a strong proof in terms of the rental agreement, that's why I am seeking some extra points at least for the 1st year.meself2 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:29 pmPayment statement is for social welfare you have been paid out, so it should be zero.yuki_vm wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:00 pmI read something on fb today regarding the social welfare annual statement, and then I requested the 'contribution statement' from my welfare, I do have records since 2019.

For the contribution statement, I wouldn't put hopes on it; going logically, ISD can already see how much you've paid for your social welfare contributions via EDS, so this does not give them any additional information besides what they'd already know.
Best place to get clarification on this would be from ISD, I reckon, unless other forum members have more experience with the system. I'd say throw it in and get 50 points elsewhere for safety sake if you can, but that's my opinion.
hi,rajqorajqo wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 10:19 pmI have used dept. of social protection annual statement generated from mywelfare and it is still a statement even though it says you didn't get any money from this department. it does have your pps number, address and shows the dates. rules doesn't specify there has to be some payments made compared to the bank account, where they want 6 consecutive months and in each 3 pos payments by card in ireland.
They submitted their application this year; average processing time is 1.5 - 2 years. I'm afraid they won't be able to give you a definite answer.azee81 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 12:27 pmhi,rajqorajqo wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 10:19 pmI have used dept. of social protection annual statement generated from mywelfare and it is still a statement even though it says you didn't get any money from this department. it does have your pps number, address and shows the dates. rules doesn't specify there has to be some payments made compared to the bank account, where they want 6 consecutive months and in each 3 pos payments by card in ireland.
