6 Things You Need to Know Before Applying for Irish Citizenship | Jennifer Estella

[@imzimzbaby8248]

Omg... been waiting for your newly uploaded videos. It's been a while...

[@JenniferEstella]

Ah! Thank you :) Hoe you find this video helpful!

[@imzimzbaby8248]

@Jennifer Estella best of luck to your application. Your videos were very informative. It helped me a lot, especially those times when I was still processing docs prior to coming here in 🇮🇪 ... grateful to your channel 🙏

[@viajeromero]

There have been a couple of changes since this video, like you don't need to stay in the country during the five year, and you can stay out of the country for a total of 70 days per year. It would be nice an update of this and your current situation! Thanks

[@tobeact4872]

Hey, please I have a question. I just did my biometrics yesterday, but I have a 3 months gap, that's 3 months without doing anything, do you think it will affect my chances for visa approval. It's a study visa by the way, I'm going for masters, and I've paid full tuition fees and my sponsor showed 13k euros as proof of funds and an annual salary of 50k euros. Your reply will be appreciated thanks.

[@viajeromero]

@@tobeact4872 If you are studying, I don't think you will have a problem. I don't know your intentions, to apply for the citizenship you need to be working only, student visa is not valid.

[@MarianDouglasUngaro]

​@@tobeact4872, with all those requirements in order, and OVER-delivering (it's a word), you need to relax. I'm sure you needed 3 months "without doing anything." 😊 Enjoy your stay and your life. 🌳

[@Thejerzway]

Interesting information! The Jerz Way can help people to obtain a citizenship by descent. We can investigate by going back as far as the third generation... that is...your great-grandparents...

[@JenniferEstella]

True!

[@celticlofts]

Only Grandparents or parents. Not great grandparents.

Thank you tita!

[@tabularasa1263]

Thank you very much for this beneficial video. it is 6 weeks for not any days to be reducted from the number of days you need to be in Ireland. But what is the maximum number of days in total for each year we can be out of Ireland for being eligable for citizenship, if we don`t care about the days to be reducted? Thanks

[@JenniferEstella]

If you are away for 6 months, that year doesn’t count.

Do we have to apply for a hospital record every year? Or we can apply for them all at once when we apply for the citizenship? 😅

Hi, there’s a new list of acceptable documents. Please check it out. The GP visits are not in the list anymore. If you’re unable to reach the required points, you can write an affidavit explaining your circumstances. Good luck!

Hello, I need suggestion I’m a PhD student in International Law in China, focusing on a comparative study of citizenship laws and immigration policies. I’m interested in joining an Irish immigration law firm to gain practical experience, even if it requires relocating. I don't have a bar license from my home country, where I earned my Bachelor of Law degree-would it still be possible for me to join an Irish law firm? Additionally, could you suggest a few immigration law firms that hire non-European law students as assistants or interns?

Northern Ireland is UK so it won’t be counted if you want to apply for Irish citizenship unless you have Irish descent.

Hi Jen, Any update on your application? I'm in the same boat as you. My passport expired during the pandemic and so did my IRP. I was wondering if we can just send a screenshot of the notice from the immigration regarding the automatic extension of our IRP at that time. Was hoping you can reply to this comment. Thank you.☺️

it's terrible here in the moment, the Irish have turned violent against blacks and muslims in some areas since Algeria immigrant stabbed three children, there be no more accommodation and immigrants are sleeping on street in tents since the locals started burning refugee centres, it's a nightmare here, I been here a month and am just trying to find a way out now, I don't feel safe here at all, the government could fall at any time and the far right are about to come to power here, we are all fearful of that, they will kick us all out of the country,I wish I never heard of Ireland.

Hi Jennifer, do you know if after applying and now just waiting for the Garda Vetting and approval emails, is it ok to leave Ireland. All of the requirements have been satisfied but it's still unclear

[@celticlofts]

I wouldn't do that. They might say what's the point in processing your application if you're not even in the country. You might go to the bottom of the list and it's a very long list. Check with them and see what they say or contact an immigration lawyer.
