Your case sounds complicated. Calculating reckonable residency is fairly mechanical so it shouldn't be hard to see if you're eligible but you'll have to read the rules carefully and work it out. In any case keep in mind any advice here is worth what you paid for it -- nobody here is an expert. You ...
Are you on a work permit or equivalent? When does it expire? If your work permit expires then your employer should not allow you to come in to work until they at least apply to renew it and you get a stamp on that basis. I don't think an employer would be as worried about registration lapsing though ...

If you send a letter to INIS you usually get back a letter very quickly saying your request was received and will be handled in due time. I've never received a registered letter from them ever though. It's always standard post in my experience.
I can't give a conclusive answer but I can give you some information. Transit in Dublin doesn't save going through the immigration checkpoint. Depending on which terminal you land at you may have a separate lane for transit but it still leads to an immigration desk. Then from there you go straight ...
Look at the timeline thread for examples of other people's approvals. It seems you can rely on applications taking almost exactly 6 months from the original application date if there are no unusual attributes. So an application done in September will probably be approved in March or early April next ...
It's very unclear what it means and it's not clear how they use this information. I counted the number of days in each calendar year spent out of the country. So your trip from Dec 16 to Jan 13 would be about 16 days towards the one year and 13 days towards the other year. I included a letter ...

zkzkz: did you email them asking about the acknowledgement? Maybe its lost in the post? Ok, I emailed citizenshipinfo@justice.ie and got a prompt answer by email. Then the next day I received a letter by regular post confirming everything and containing a receipt for the payment. Neither ...
Nobody has a clear answer to this question. Your best bet is to get a letter from your employer when you apply saying that you were required to travel for work and listing the trips and maybe even their purpose. Allegedly they look positively on trips that are required for work or for medical ...
First letter / acknowledgement = 3 days to 2 weeks maximum . ( usually 1 week ) Is this still true? I sent in my application on April 30th, it was signed for on May 5th. No acknowledgement yet and tomorrow will be three full weeks since it was signed for. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come ...
Applied: 30/04/2015 (5 years) Application signed for: 05/05/2015 Acknowledgement: PENDING Second stage: PENDING Approval: PENDING It's been over a week since the registered letter was signed for with no acknowledgement. Based on the 2014 timeline tracker it seems that's a slowdown already. Hopefully ...
My understanding is that if you're absent for short trips for holidays or were employed in Ireland and required to travel for your employment then you're basically ok. I'm assuming your residence information was still continuous. They may ask for additional documents to verify this. If you were ...
Why don't you just tell us which country you are from? We are none of us Dentists! Sorry, I did mention France as an example in the original scenario. But I'll also have to travel to other European countries like Belgium or Italy. I'm more interested in knowing what to look for and where to look so ...
I think it would depend on the definition one gives to work/business. If the poster is, for instance, an American and he is going to France for a couple of days or so on business related to the company he works for in the UK then I am quite sure a French WP would not be necessary. That description ...
I have a work permit and 5yr leave to remain and an office job in the UK. What happens if my employer sends me to visit a client in France or anywhere else in Europe? Do I need any special visa or is regular non-immigration business travel not an issue? Does my visa to Britain include business ...
