Stamp1G to Stamp 4 conversion for dependant of Irish Citizen(Naturalised)

[sv23367]

hi there,
i got my naturalised last dec and received my cert last week. iam thinking to convert my spouse's Stamp1G visa to Stamp4 . My spouse is eligible for this conversion as the spouse of Irish citizen.

Can this change be done online (i live in Dublin) or i have to visit the burgh quay office in person with an appointment?

Can someone clarify?
Thanks

any thoughts @meself2?

I'd say try it online if there's no time pressure - you have your naturalization cert/marriage cert and so on to upload, plus since she got a 1G, id hope ISD is already seeing your relationship is fine.
Most likely that'll do; if not, you'd have to reach out to Dublin office (and you'll get your money for online application back).

hi my friend,

yesterday i got a reply from DOJ for the same query. they had asked me to refer to the below link
https://www.irishimmigration.ie/my-situ ... al-scheme/

Pasting the specific line item for confirmation
----------
Where you have permission to be in the State
If you do not require a visa to travel to Ireland and you currently hold permission to remain in the State, you and your spouse/civil partner may attend at your local immigration office for permission to remain as the Spouse of an Irish National.

Hi @sv23367,

I and my wife, we are in the same position and looking for a clarification on application process. Have you applied for renewal and make it stamp 4? What documents did you upload (assuming you have done it online?)?

Thanks,

Pls see my previous reply. you cannot do this online. You have to get an appointment at ISD office in Dublin(if you are living around Dublin/Kildare) and change your visa. my appointment is in 2 weeks time. i can confirm after that. but online change is not possible.

Thanks for quick reply @sv23367. Actually, in another thread here, in a similar case it was done via online system. Confused on how to proceed, because appointments are also for first time registrations.

Moreover, the link you've sent mentions an application via post with required documents as explained here, did you do that, applied via post?

hi there,

Stamp1G to STamp4 conversion at ISD office wont incur any fees. iam not sure if it is possible online.

Thanks sv23367,

Did you submit an application to get a permission letter as explained here before making the appointment? I wonder if this is required?

You dont need permission letter if you are converting your Stamp1G to STamp4 on the basis of Irish Spouse

Hi @sv23367,

Thanks for this. So, no need for permission letter.
How did you got an appointment? I read on some posts that it can be done via online too.

Hi,

This conversion can be done online (done recently), I think both options (by appointment or online) are possible.

Marriage certificate and a utility bill would be required to submit. For the naturalized partner, I've used naturalization certificate, so both certificate and passport also valid. I've submitted more documents, like employment letter, insurance and etc. so no harm to add more.

@kunduz

Thank you for your response! Appreciate it!

You've done the online renewal from 1g to 4?
I just recently got naturalized and waiting for the certificate now.
Husband's IRP is expiring soon so need to renew his IRP before even my passport arrives.

Hi @fetiyah,

Yes, we have done it online. I did not have the passport at the time of the application, so used naturalization certificate. You do not have to pay any fee and it's being processed like any other stamp application (around 6 weeks of processing time currently). New IRP (Stamp 4) is valid for 1 year.

I am much relieved now.
