[biggerjosh]

hi
Needed some advise regarding travelling.I received my approval last week with regard to my citizenship subsequently I submitted all the docs along with the GNIB card. Now there is some family emergency so I need to travel next month.So my query is whether I can travel without the GNIB card ,would there be any hassle while coming back to Ireland as every time I came back they have asked for my GNIB card.I would really appreciate your valuable advise don't know whether anybody has gone through the same situation.
Thanks in advance

Yes you can.

1. Have your re-entry visa with you
2. Have a copy of your GNIB card with you
3. Have the letter of intention to grant citizenship from INIS
4. Explain to the immigration officer the reason why you dont have your GNIB card
5. Provide them with these documents

You will have no problem at all if you follow these steps.

it depends from where are you coming back , when you arrive in Ireland you should not have any problem but you will be asked at the point you are traveling from

This is actually a wrong information. Non-EU nationals that are residence in Ireland is being asked for a GNIB card whenever they arrival in Ireland regardless where they're from

IntegratedMigrant I think you misread what Malikscompany posted. If you are travelling from India or Pakistan or even Turkey if you are resident here you need to have a GNIB card if you don't have a GNIB card it can cause problem there. If you have a Re Entry sticker in your passport then there shouldn't be any problem but if you are holding 4Eufam when there is no Re Entry then there is no other way to board the flight.

I personally never had an issue when re-entering the state. For some reason i always kept my Gnib card at home and i had the stamp in my passport.

I was asked for the card once, but i told them that i have it at home, the officer was happy with the stamp in my passport and there was no further questions asked.

So, in a genuine case, once you have the stamp in the passport, i dont think you will have an issued, but then again every case could be different.
