Re: Section 16 Citizenship Applications

Good news. Wish they provided more details. Hopefully they are approving applications based solely on their new criteria.

Re: Section 16 Citizenship Applications

Reddit isn't a good source IMO - lot's of people saying it's impossible, only celebrities can apply or confusing the requirements even with these clarifications. That combined with a general hostility towards those leveraging citizenship by descent/associations. The fact of the matter is, on paper ...

Re: Ireland citizenship for British national

Hi, I was looking to setup a ltd company in Ireland for remote work. I have found out that for Irish citizenship, British national are required to show bank statements, proof of address and continuous residence for 5 years. My company statements and proof of address can be shown from the business ...

Re: New scoreboard approach is foolish

Such a daft system.

I don’t do POS transactions on my debit card so I guess I’m fecked now aren’t I?

I’m pretty sure I don’t have 6 months continuous CC statements with 3xPOS transactions on them either.

Re: Irish citizen siblings is not considered as sufficient based on being the parent of Irish citizen children

Do you mean your father was born outside of State and he was registered in the foreign birth registery, or you mean that he is Irish and registered your birth in the FBR registry, because in the first assumption he is entitled for the Irish citizenship and , if I am not wrong, you follows the same ...

Re: Irish citizen siblings is not considered as sufficient based on being the parent of Irish citizen children

Also don't forget that 30 months includes all of the applications applying with Irish children. Whilst I don't think anybody knows the exact figures, anecdotally off this site I would say the majority of applications would be of that nature. If the department doesn't consider these applications to ...

Re: Irish citizen siblings is not considered as sufficient based on being the parent of Irish citizen children

Regardless, as @shakey once pointed out, to be granted citizenship through descent/associations is stronger than through naturalisation since it cannot be stripped away/rescinded. Overall, it might be worth the wait to gain naturalisation through associations for the simple reason you would not ...

Re: Irish citizen siblings is not considered as sufficient based on being the parent of Irish citizen children

Just a quick question. Since Irish Association applications are now taking 30 months to process and the Minister only waives 2 years of residence for those of us of Irish Descent, does that mean that applying for Irish Citizenship based on Association is basically useless now? We might as well wait ...

Re: Irish Descent/Associations via Naturalization?

Just registering my interest on this thread. My dad got his citizenship via FBR this year and I am wondering if the Minister ever waives more than 2 out of the 5 years residency. I plan on taking residency soon as a UK citizen and I'm wondering what documents I need as I won't have passport stamps ...

Naturalisation through descent and residency

I'm a British citizen with an Irish father (born outside of Ireland soon to be registered in the FBR). If I were to move to Ireland, how long would I be required to be resident before I can apply for Irish citizenship? I've seen reports of 2 years for those in a similar situation. Please reply if ...
