Applying long term residency

[Irishmigrant]

To apply for long term residency, do I have to work? or be self employed? along with years residency here in Ireland.
Also is break in residence is calculated?

[agniukas]

to apply for long term residency you have to be working in the state for 5 years, 60 months on work permits, work authorisation, working visa.
if you had permission to remain on any other basis like IBC, married to EU or irish, you do not qualify. Only if you had work permits, work authorisation or working visa.

Do they ask any additional docs once you submit the LTR application?
Because, their requirement is Passport Copies, Garda Stamp Copies, GNIB Card. I heard that from some they ask Employer Contract Letter as well.

Is that correct? Is it wise to send the empolyer contract in advance? Or should I wait unless they request it.

hi
i applied for LTR . now waiting for 7 months. i heard they can request add documents if needed. i think better to send what is required, but if you want, they do have an enquiry line on monday/friday.
best of luck

7 months is too long to wait for LTR . I guess these days they are processing May 2011 LTR applications.

Applied Naturalization May 2010 - Still Waiting.
Applied LTR June 2011 - Got Reference Letter that says they are processing May 2011.

I guess you can call them and ask why you are waiting for 7 months when now May 2011 is being processed. Keep us posted about ur progress

when they say they are processing may 2011, that means that they are only opening the file for may 2011 applications and request all additional reports needed, etc. all the prior applications are processing in progress, awaiting for all those requested reports. usually processing takes around 6 months for the newly received applications, however, if there is a problem with receiving of the reports and the reminders have to be issued, that's where the delay starts especially for the older applications.
but it's still better that in the old days, when the waiting time was 2 years.

Yes its better than waiting for 1 or 2 years only for LTR. But if they can process Naturalization in 6 months then LTR should be in half of this time.

Do we get any acknowledgement for LTR ?

also i have seen in some posts where boarders have mentioned that if we send the LTR confirmation to the citizenship department there seems to be some quick processing ? Is this true ? or done in practice ?

thanks

yes you get acknowledgement by post. i read somewhere that if you have LTR, it may be processed quicker. but LTR takes long. in past 2 years. now it says 6 months. send you application and wait thats my advice

[knapps]

I got letter of acknowledgment after 2 weeks...it has been 2.5 months..Should I expect a reply soon?
