Form 8A is for Children born in Ireland after 31st Dec. 2005, they have Irish Birth Certificate but they cannot apply of Irish Passports because their parents didn't have 3 years reckonable residence Stamps on their passports.ImmigrationLawyer wrote:what is the story with Form 8A? I have no idea in what circumstances such an application would be granted - does anyone know?
The confusion is:sideshowsue wrote:Just to clarify: Currently one of the child's parents has become a naturalized Irish citizen?
If yes, just fill in this form
and include all the requested documents. I did it for my son about a year ago now and the approval was quite quick, less than 6 months if I recall correct.
This is definitely a new one. Still trying to make a sense of it though. I think this may be for people whose children were not entitled to Irish citizen at birth and for which the parent(s) have opted not to become Irish citizen i.e. naturalize but want their children to have Irish citizenship. I know, it sound complicated right?ImmigrationLawyer wrote:The Irish Birth Cert is not really relevent - if the child is applying for naturalisation then they didn't have an entitlement to Irish citizenship by birth, so doesn;t matter where they were born. I just can't see under what circumstances that Form 8A could get the child naturalisation. That really is a mystery to me. Where's the entitlement?

There is another point that they can return an incomplete form or point out a mistake promptly online otherwise they have to send all the documents back and that is a waste of time.blue bird wrote:That's interesting!!PIKKA wrote:May be they are trying to be more environment friendly by reducing the use of paper.blue bird wrote:Hello guys, Today i submited by email form 8A to Irish Nationality & Citizenship, i received a knowledge stated that A printed copy
