I have not heard of this before. The only requirement as far as I know is not to live more than 7 continous years out of the country. However, even this is in breach of my rights as an EU citizen who should be free to work and live anywhere in the EU for any period of time.nicepecsigot wrote:to nehro are you not supposed to be living in eire for at least year after acquiring citizenship??coz this is the reason why im holdin on to this high collectin tax country before working somewhere.
Imagine if your irish citizenship was revoked, you will become stateless, would you? Of course you cannot revert back to your original citizen because you lost it automatically when you acquired irsih citizen for country that did not recognize multi citizensip.strongbow wrote:Folks, I have checked up on this. The only requirement is that if you move out of the country you need to file a declaration of intention to retain Irish citizenship at the Irish embassy of the country you are moving to. You need to do this every year. If you don't do this AND you live outside Ireland for more than 7 years there is a provision in the Statute book that your citizenship can be revoked.
Bottomline is you can live wherever you want as long as you file this declaration of intention to retain Irish citizenship.
One of my friend who is turkish told me that his friend's Irish Passport was taken by Irish Embassy because he was living abroad for too long ( I don't know how long) but I guess he might not be aware of the rule u r talking about. Any way, its good to know this kind of rule.strongbow wrote:Folks, I have checked up on this.

What do yo mean esily. Nothing with the government is easy. INIS take months to get feeback from outside agencies, so I doubt the passport office has instant access to Revenue records.strongbow wrote:They can easily cross-check at the time of passport renewal. All they need to do is check the Revenue records for that person in Ireland.
Well lets say one is working in France. Then he will have some status in france. Even though irish citizens does not require to enter into france but if u want to work u need approval (which can be obtained very easily) now lets say his/her passport is going to expire and he/she applies in Irish Embassy Paris or so. Do you think they wouldn't know that what the heck one is doing in france for the last 10 years or so?realgunner wrote:I find it hard to believe they took his passport because in Ireland they don't have chip system on passport (won't know how long the person was out of country ) unless someone told the INIS department about him and plus another thing the immigration take months for feedbacks.
Is that the only reason you lot apply for Irish citizenship? To save a few quid on visas?strongbow wrote:No money charged for visa..30-day visa is what is issued.
