Hi guys. I got an Irish passport 2 years ago, if I apply for a Stamp 6, do I need a GNIB card and re-entry visa?
Thanks

No you wouldn't need a re-entry visa or GNIB card to enter Ireland.

Hi everyone!
What do you think about this-http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Wi ... dorsements
does it mean there is no stamp 6?

Without Condition As To Time (WCATT) is Stamp 5, not Stamp 6. Stamp 6 is only for Irish citizens.

Hi, Just curios about people with Stamp 5 granted recently by INIS. I was wondering. If they granted you Stamp 5 status, when they returned your passport(s). Is that stamped with a stamp 5 on your current passport already or they give you a letter and then you take you letter with you current passport to GNIB to get a new stamp???

thx

A stamp is placed in passport which states, "the holder of this passport is permitted to remain in Ireland without condition as to time". Accompanied with the passport is a letter informing the holder to report to the GNIB to receive a new Certificate of Registration endorsed "Stamp 5".

It doesn't appear to be a condition according to the INIS website.

Well, when I applied in 2006. INIS had not asked for any police certificate, but I know they starting to ask applicant about this and it does not mention any police certificate in INIS Long Term Residency Section unless they referred police certificate as Applicants must be of good character. Is that true?

To be honest it's anybody's guess. The DoJ and their subsidiaries are a rule unto themselves - and they're getting worse.

No, they do not ask for anything extra. Only the documents listed on the webpage Ben linked.

Recent case: docs submitted for WCATT: 13 April; received stamp 5: 10 May.

you can request a reckonable residence letter with all the dates and the stamps that you had since arriving to ireland from your local immigration officer and submit it with your application for WCATT stamp.
