Philippine passport, Naturalised Citizen 10 June ceremony, Stamp 4 expiring in August, travel booked in September

[Take-me-home]

I need to travel back to Philippines in September for my wedding. All booked and paid beforehand then I attended the ceremony on 10 June. No citizenship ceremony received yet, no way to apply for Irish passport, and next month expiry of Stamp 4.

Any insights for this nightmare is highly appreciated

No citizenship ceremony received yet

Ceremony or certificate?

IMO you should wait until mid August; I assume you'll get a certificate by then.
If you don't get it by then you should go to Burgh Quay and insist they give you a re-entry visa. Details here - viewtopic.php?p=2044798#p2044798 .

Good luck.

Thanks for replying.

I checked the website and it stated that re-entry visa is abolished. It only applies to minor and stamp 6. I renewed my Stamp 4 and paid. I'll see how it goes.

It was stated as such back then.
Follow the link (viewtopic.php?p=2044798#p2044798) and you can read the experience of a person who managed to get one.
Doesn't hurt to try.

Do you have any updates on your situation?

I'm due to travel next month, but only got my natualisation certificate today. I think it's unlikely I would get my Irish passport before I travel, and I'm wary of sending my original passport as part of Irish passport application since I'm travelling so soon.

I don't need a visa to enter the country anyway, but I'm worried not travelling on an Irish passport or a valid IRP will cause me issues when returning to Ireland.

Ireland is one of the few countries that don’t require Irish citizens to enter Ireland with an Irish passport. You can enter with a foreign passport as long as you can prove your citizenship - so bring a copy of naturalisation certificate with you.

Ah, that's really good to know! Thanks so much for the reply!

Don't travel if you don't have valid gnib. Naturalised Certificate is not a valid visa and won't be accepted by airline for boarding.

Or if you don't have a passport that allows visa-free entry to Ireland.
Note that South Africans now require a visa.
