Hi Mendo,
First you have to ring them and explain your situation that you are waiting naturalization etc. In my case he gave me his name & asked me to send my application with all supporting documents including the old passports, a job letter, P60, mortgage letters etc. I got my passport back in 3 weeks but then you have to apply for re-entry visa.
good luck

Thank you very much for the info babar.

That's cool, thanks Mendo. That's actually what I thought as well. I'm on working visa scheme and it's going to be exactly 8 years in January since I arrived in ireland. I'll wait a few more weeks after that and go to the INIS in Dublin and see if I can get anything. though posting the original passport is not a good idea. I hope they'll ask the copies because we all know from naturalisation application that it might take monthsmendo wrote:As far I can understand it, this was introduced to grant permanent residency not limited to 5 years anymore.
But it is based on the fact that you've been already resident for 8 years.
If you were resident for 5 years only, you can't apply for it, but instead you apply for normal LTR and you will get approval for 5 years only.
Another important thing is, that it is related to residence based on Work Permit/Working Visa to qualify for it.
It is handy if you haven't applied for the normal LTR or if you've got your 5 years LTR and another 3 years passed then and instead of renewing the 5 years one, you can apply for the LTR 'without time endorsement'.
It might be faster to get i think, because not too many people qualify for it, but I can't say it for sure.

Hello!!LuasPassenger wrote:Hello guys,
I rang INIS today to enquire about this endorsement. They told me to only submit all my original passports (current passport and expired passports), a copy of my GNIB card (not the original) and a cover letter by registered post.
They also told me the turnaround time for this is 10 working days.
They told me the stamp you get is a Stamp 6 and that it allows you to work without a work permit.
I told them I had applied for naturalisation and asked them whether this application will conflict with my naturalisation application. They told me that there's no conflict as they're two different, separate processes.
I didn't ask any other questions. You can contact them at their phone number (01) 6167700, option 3 and then option 5. They only entertain telephone enquiries on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00am to 12:30pm
So I will be submitting my application tomorrow morning. I'll let you know how things go.
Thanks,
LP
I was told on the phone (when I rang INIS) I would get Stamp 6.Aceform wrote:Hi Guys,
Received the WCT endorsement last week. Had been to GNIB, but the Immigration Officer said that I'll only get Stamp4 and not Stamp5. Also my spouse will only get stamp1 for 1 year. She has to renew her GNIB card and visa every year.
Tiggs, Please let us know how you get on. It'll be interesting to see if they give you stamp5.
Cheers,
Ace
Yeah, got the stamp for the entire duration of my passport. And yes I had to pay 150 Euros for the GNIB card. But tbh the IO was seeing this for the first time, he had no clue about this WCT.I was told on the phone (when I rang INIS) I would get Stamp 6.
For how long is your registration card valid for? Is it valid for the whole duration of your passport?
Did you have to pay the 150 EUR?[/b]
