Common irish citizenship questions
When can I apply for Irish citizenship?
Most naturalisation applications require a qualifying period of reckonable residence. A consultation calculates yours precisely.
Does time outside Ireland count?
Absences beyond set limits can reduce reckonable residence. We review your travel history carefully.
Is Long-Term Residence the same as citizenship?
No. LTR is a residence permission; citizenship is a legal status. Some clients pursue LTR before or instead of naturalisation.
