Citizenship & Self-Employment

Post by igars » Wed May 23, 2012 6:32 pm

Hi,

Does anyone know, if self-employment status might be a potential reason for citizenship rejection?

I have received a rejection in LTR with the reasoning that self-employment policy in relation to LTR is currently under review. Now I am worried that my citizenship application might get rejected for the same reason.

In citizenship application there is a self-employed field under "Means of Support"... So, I am confused now :)

It's not a means-tested application but you will need to show that you are complicit with your income tax obligations.

Why would they reject your claim as a self-employment, when an Irish can open a shop in April and closed it down in may, what would they live on ?
And you can receive back to enterprises allowance payment and many other payment while you're self-employed, so you should get yourself familiar to Irish system, which love to fight to finish, so you yourselves as self-employed must also at the same time prepared for the show down to make ends meet in one man business. :D

Take a look on the reasons for refusal and make a submitting for administrative review otherwise judicial review might save you. Hope that answers your question. :twisted:
