Is it the state or the person that has leave to remain stamped on their Passport ?
Because Ireland is the only special country in the entire globe or in lacuna 21st century world that still extort money from the immigrant for GNIB Stamp and pay in and out of the country too, is it time who should be Ashame to stop and update immigration procedure with the 21st century World rather than creating mockery of nothing out of nothing!!.
The right is been stamp so we're not a criminal or committed any Breaches on our leave to remain rather than the beraucracy you craated, hope that help sraighten your head a bit?

If you doubt go to court to use your power!!!
