Note that General Employment Permit and Critical Skills Employment Permit do not work the same way.
For CSEP holders, the requirement is that you apply for a Stamp 4 Support Letter after completing 21 months on CSEP.
GEP holders do not need this letter. They need to complete 5 years of GEP and when they renew their IRP for the 6th year, they can directly apply for a Stamp 4.
If you are in non-Dublin location, Garda station does it automatically. I believe for Dublin web based system you can apply for renewal as Stamp 4. It doesn't require any extra documents.FidoDido29 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 20, 2022 11:37 amHi,
I moved to Ireland in Feb 2018 on General Employment permit and will be completing my 5 years in Feb, 23. Read somewhere that I can apply for stamp 4 after 5 years. Would anybody know the process for the same?
Where to apply?
Documents required?
application processing time?
Fees?
Need to keep in mind, if your passport expires earlier than those 5 years of LTR, the IRP card will be only till end of the passport, and need need to update tye card once again, so +300 eur more). Better to apply on citizenship and wait under stamp 4. LTR covers buy certain amount of cases and will be worth to have only: if costs will be covered by employer for example, passport valid over then 5 years + time waiting for decision (about 5-9 months), you don't need to have citizenshipmentalmind wrote: ↑Tue Dec 20, 2022 11:46 amIt will be always for 1 year, not for 2 years nor any longer. If you want longer residence, check Long Term Residency. Keep in mind to get that paper you need to pay 500€ fee and also 300€ card renewal fee, only then you can get 5 year residence permit.

this information is not valid anymore. When you get LTR it will be valid for 5 years from the approval of your LTR. If your passport expires before 5 years you need to renew your passport and tell INIS (or garda station) with your updated passport details.jesonnn wrote: ↑Wed Dec 28, 2022 5:05 pmNeed to keep in mind, if your passport expires earlier than those 5 years of LTR, the IRP card will be only till end of the passport, and need need to update tye card once again, so +300 eur more).

I got LTR approval on June 2022 and my passport is due to expire on November 2023. I did renewal thru Garda station so I am not in Dublin. I got 5 year valid card till June 2027 and Garda person told me "your passport will expire before your IRP card expires so when you renew your passport just pop in and let us update your passport details on our system".jesonnn wrote: ↑Wed Dec 28, 2022 11:14 pmGot my LTR this year June, IRP card was given TILL end of the passport, now inis blames local office, local office blames Dublin inis cause is not responsible for issuing card, ping pong, so did you pass the process?
