that's true because back in 2010 they didn't mention the good character thing on their website , so that is why i applied for it and got it , had they told me then that i do not qualify for it i wouldn't have bothered changing from stamp 4 to stamp 5 . also sure if they changed the rules they shouldn't the new rules shouldn't apply to the people who already were granted such a permission unless they have committed an offense after the date they were granted the initial stamp . it's like you were given permission to build a house on a plot of land , you built your house then a couple of years later that plot of land gets rezoned , would they ask you to move or demolish it ? of course no the law would then apply only to new applications .agniukas wrote:well, it's possible that back in 2010 they did not check the 'character' whether you have been good or bad. that's why you were granted stamp 5. but if they checked now and something came up, i am not sure how it will be dealt with.
by the way, with a drink driving conviction you would have a problem getting citizenship as well, if you went for it.
anyway, i see it much changed since the last time i was reading about it. i wasn't aware the copies have to be submitted first. but maybe that for the best, because in that way they don't have to hold on to the original passports for ages.

you are absolutely right in my case my passport only lasts for 5 years so there isn't much benefit from it anyway , however it was a good idea as my stamps 4 used to be renewed every year which as we all know costs now €300 , so thats the only benefit from it really . on the other hand i'd rather pay the €300 every year and get it sorted the same day than this applying and waiting game they are playing .agniukas wrote:people mainly went for Stamp 5, because it is valid till the expiry of the passport. lets say passport is valid for 10 years, so Stamp 5 covers you for 10 years and you dont have to renew your stamp and pay for the GNIB card every year, which is 300 Euros now
i was trying to send you a private message sunnymohsin but it's not sending for some reason .sunnymohsin wrote:i know but even when i had a stamp 4 i was getting 5 years visa and stamp but i never thought before to get citizenship just was my own reson i am here past 13 years wife is an irish 2 kids boy and girl son is about 11 now i just realise when i have to bring him to france it took two months to get me a visa then just for that pupose i applyd citizenship in last year hopefully it will be there soon
good luck
regards
