Garda Certificate

[IRISH PHAROE]

Dear All,

I'm naturalized Irish citizen (proud to be), currently I'm working abroad and I have two questions

1- Did anyone gone through getting Garda certificate before, what is the procedure and how long does it take?

2- while you are working abroad, should you report to the tax office back in Ireland or the Social Wellfare or any such governomental department rather than the form we have to fill fo the intention of keeping the Irish nationality.

I'll be gratitude if someone can help in those two issues.

Hi Irish Pharoe,

1)
I am still here too. Why are you asked a Garda certificate (is this a police clearance ?)

Where are you based now ?

2) In ideal word, you need to let revenue know (they will find out eventually)
In ideal word, you need to let social welfare know -- as they need stop any payments being made to you or your kids or your wife)...Which is normal.


Thanks
Nanette

Hi Nanette,

how r u? long time not to hear from you (same for me I know). but I was visiting the forum from time to time to introduce my help whenever it is valid.

just I need this police clearance as it is required for the working visa procedure in Saudi Arabia.

Currently I'm working in Saudi Arabia, I have been pushed to work there due to the downturn of economy back in Ireland and to not be burdon on the state.

I already informed the social welfare long time back since my children moved to Saudi Arabia, but should I inform the Tax Office as well?

Thanks
