Hi Guys,
Need your advice regarding applying a passport for a child who was born last month.We are non-eu and I(Father) have been living and working continously from past 5 and half years, therfore my child is eligible for Irish passport. I was checking DFA website for how to apply for passport for children/infants and it says.D - Where a parent is a non national, other than an EU/EEA/Swiss national.
The child will qualify for Irish citizenship if, at the time of the birth of the child in the island of Ireland, one of his/her parents had reckonable residence in the island of Ireland during the four years immediately preceding the birth of the child. Reckonable residence is regarded as residence where he/she had been lawfully resident in the island of Ireland for a period of not less than three years, or periods the aggregate of which is three years. Periods of unlawful residence, periods of residence which were for the sole purpose of having an application for refugee status determined or periods of residence where permission was granted for the purposes of study are excluded from the determination of periods of reckonable residence.
The following documentation will be required :
- The Child's Long Form Birth Certificate.
- The Registration Card issued by the GNIB
- The Passport of that parent [The parent should also provide a detailed letter of explanation along with the passport indicating which pages contain Immigration stamps covering periods of reckonable residence].
If the Passport Office is unable to confirm the parent’s 3 years reckonable residence from the passport the parent will require to obtain a letter from GNIB, Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 setting out their residence history and confirming their reckonable residency qualification.
My question is what other documents I need to send to them so that they issue paaport without any hassle i.e. do I need to send all P60's, P21's, Letter from my employer etc etc.. .. How long do they take? and I reckon I need to send my original passport and GNIB card??
Your inputs will be highly appreciated...
Best Regards
