My wife's LTR - any benefits for me?

[xxxtieee]

My wife just got her LTR :

Is that beneficial to me in any way? Someone told me that I can apply for LTR 1 year after my wife got LTR. Is this another myth doing the rounds?

Thanks

To get an LT you yourself should be living and working in Ireland for at least 5 years on the basis of a work permit or work visa. Just because your wife got an LTR doesn't make you eligible for any change in status.

if you are on stamp 3 as a dependant of your spouse, and you have 5 years in ireland on stamp 3, you can apply for LTR. if your spouse gets LTR, when your application os being considered if successful you would get stamp 3 for 5 years (no need to renew your stamp on annual basis).
if you are on a work permit basis, then you need 5 years on stamp 1 to qualify for 5 year stamp 4 LTR.
