My understanding is that once you get stamp 5 or 6 there's no issues with leaving the country. However the following cases may arise:Kay27 wrote:Hi there
I've posted on here a few times and got some very good advice, so i am hoping someone can help me.
Basically I'm Australian and moved to Ireland in 2000 and believe I qualify to stay in Ireland 'without condition to time' in April this year. I am currently stamp 4.
I own a home here but lost my job in december 2010. I have seen a job that I have a very good chance of getting in the UK. A good few jobs going in the publishing industry. There is nothing going over here at all - believe me i have looked everywhereand have no problem renting out my place and moving counties.
So, am wondering what to do. If I get this job and move, I am presuming that I will lose all the time I have put in getting to this stage and would not be allowed to ever move back here.
Does anyone know if that is the case. Once I have condition to stay, can i move to the UK freely and come back again or do I have to stay here?
Thanks
Kay
When is your stamp 4 runs out? April is only 2 months away. If I were you, apply for your stamp 5 and then go to UK but you have to figure out how to travel to UK without your passport. Otherwise, you will have to wait for INIS to process your application and than send your passport back to you before you travel to UK. They will only give you a stamp 5 for however your passport valid to, so if your passport only have 3 years left, go to renew your passport before you apply for stamp 5 because they will still charge you 150 euro regardless the length of your stamp 5. I have been told by one of the person I know, make an appointment and with all your passport(s) and show up in INIS before your stamp 5. INIS will give you a new stamp 5 in your new passport and you need to pay another 150 Euro to register it. The best place to go check about this is MRC Dublin or Immigrant Council.

I won't move anywhere till I have my stamp 5. I'd have to get sponsored to be in the UK but there is a lot more work in my field over there - loads more!!
I was thinking if i got my stamp 5 and then went to the UK, if anything happened over there I could just come back to Ireland.... I have an apartment here that I could rent out.
It's just a nightmare. I cannot see the job market improving here for a while yet and the thought of being out of work for a year terrifies me.
If rules stays the same, it will not be an issue that to renew your stamp 5. If I were you, get your stamp 5 and go. The worst senerio, you might just have to fly back for a week to do the paper work for renewing your stamp 5. Hey, you flying from uk is only an hour, it is alot better flying from Australia. Isnt it?Kay27 wrote:Room 1102 - my stamp 4 runs out end of October.
I am prepared to stay here in Ireland till the stamp 5 comes through.
I dont have a job in the UK, I just know i am far more likely to get one over there than here.
If I was to move to the UK after the stamp 5 is sorted and take up a sponsored job there, would there be an issue with me eventually moving back to Ireland once the work situation improved over here?
I dont particularly want to move to England (I lived there on a visa '97-'99) as I own my own place here, but if i don't get a job by march next year my mortgage protection runs out and I can't afford to pay for it on the dole.
My passport is valid until 2017. Can I renew a stamp 5 after my passport runs out?
Thanks everyone for all the info, really appreciate it.
