I know Stamp 5 lasts as long as your passport, does it also apply to long term residency? What about normal stamp 4?
Yes please! Let us know how it goes. I have similar questions recently. My IRP appointment is on this Thursday, however today i received the approval letter which requires me to pay 500 euro. It seems i cannot get the Grant letter before Thursday, in this case can i renew my IRP again after it just renewed? And how long it will last if my passport is less than 5 years? I messaged the local immigration office and did not get anything.Mistii wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2024 12:08 pmI swear I have read somewhere that Long Term Residency does not care how long your passport is valid, they just give you 5 years, then if your passport expires before that, it is enough you just communicate it once you renew it...Not sure if it is true, anyway I will keep you guys updated if the Immigration people reply to me...
First of all, on which date that approval letter was issued? In my case I got the letter end of February but the date of issue was the beginning of that month, meaning I had only a couple of days to complete €500 payment (as you have to pay within 28 days from the date of that letter), besides it has to be a bank draft or postal order, so not straight forward like a credit card...Thanks god my money arrived to them in time, so just be careful about that!Danini___ wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2024 2:00 pmYes please!

Regarding your IRP...I would say yeah you have to attend that appointment and renew it (for one year I suppose), then once you get the Long Term Residency official letter, you get another appointment to update your status, then let's see how long you will get...I am afraid you will have to pay another €300 then, if it gives you 5 years then fair enough still, if not...
I feel that the Immigration just want to rip off taking advantage of us Non EU, but let's hope that is not the case...Anyway now that you have an appointment, you can ask the officer directly about all these? Living in Dublin area the renewal is all online, so no chance to ask anything Anyway keep you posted....
Oh I feel for you on this, I think also the problem is that ZERO communication between each section, I mean Long Term Residency and IRP both are under the same Immigration, right? Once you get the LTR, the IRP renewal should be automatic if they share the information!!!Danini___ wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2024 2:00 pmI think their problem is that not every staff is very clear about the terms and laws, so even if you get a grant letter from Department of Justice, the local immigration officer might not know what that mean. When you negotiate with them, you have to emphases that you have to register it by law, otherwise you break the law, that might brought their attention.
Hi thank you so much for your clarification, good to know, I thought I had read something in that line, so I was totally perplexed to see my new IRP has only 1 year...littlerr wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 6:29 pmYou pay 500 euro for a successful LTR application and it will be valid for the rest of your life (assuming you have regular income, you are not a burden to the state and you have not committed any serious crime).
You then pay 300 euro for a successful IRP registration - this should be valid for 5 years, regardless of your passport expiry date or any other personal situations.
If you got a card that's valid for 1 year only, send an email to gnib_dv@garda.ie if you live outside of Dublin. It's more than likely this is simply an admin error.

Unfortunately I live in Dublin / Kildare / Meath / Wicklow area so as I stated above I sent an e-mail to two sections, let's see if they recognize this admin error!!!
Thank you again
Wonderful news! Good to know they you can get 5 years, then clearly it is just an admin error in my case. Hope they rectify it as soon as possible...Danini___ wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2024 12:23 pmHi Mistii,Mistii wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2024 10:05 amHi thank you so much for your clarification, good to know, I thought I had read something in that line, so I was totally perplexed to see my new IRP has only 1 year...littlerr wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 6:29 pmYou pay 500 euro for a successful LTR application and it will be valid for the rest of your life (assuming you have regular income, you are not a burden to the state and you have not committed any serious crime).

Thank you again
I renewed my IRP in Cork city immigration office, and I asked him about the Long term residency card. He said i can make another appointment after my full grant letter arrives, and it will be 5 years starting from the date on the letter, regardless of how long my passport lasts. Only Stamp 5 is linked to the passport date. Hope that is useful to you.
Thank you! But as I live in Dublin / Kildare / Meath / Wicklow area so you can't just walk in there
Hi Mistii,
Why would you think that?
Hi Myself2,
I woulnd't say that you're renewing it - you're changing the category.Danini___ wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2024 6:50 pmHi Myself2,
this website https://www.irishimmigration.ie/registe ... -limerick/ states Applications for renewal of permission, including when changing stamp category, are accepted up to 12 weeks prior to expiry to allow sufficient time for processing.
