FAQ's Irish Immigration
What do I do if I am living in Ireland but have not yet been issued with a notification of intention to deport?
The time frame for issuing a notification of intention to deport can vary from applicant to applicant. Generally, it will be issued in approximately four to six weeks, but, in some cases, it can take a number of months. If you are living in Ireland and your visa has expired or become invalid, and you haven’t yet been issued a notification of intention to deport, you can appeal to the minister outlining your circumstances for leave to remain in the state. Our immigration solicitors can help you with the process.
Do I need to apply for residency if I am the parent of a child who is an Irish citizen?
Yes, you can apply for residency in Ireland. Any prior ciminial history will be considered during this application process.
Do I need to apply for permission to remain if I am married or civilly partnered to an Irish citizen?
If you are a non-EEA national, you must apply for permission to remain in Ireland even if you are married or in a civil partnership with an Irish national.
How do I apply for Irish naturalisation/citizenship?
To apply for naturalisation or citizenship, you need to have lived in Ireland for at least five years out of the last nine. All applications are at the absolute discretion of the Minister for Justice. There are strict rules about applying for Irish citizenship. Talk to our immigration team for advice about your application.
What our clients say
Successful visa application for a dependent family member of an EU national
My mother-in-law applied for a visa as a dependent family member of an EU national – she received a letter from the INIS to say that they wanted to reject her application.
I made an appointment to see Sharon Shaw who told me not to worry and said she would write a letter to the INIS to explain my mother-in-law’s situation.
She sent them ONE letter and within four weeks, my mother-in-law received a letter to say her application had been successful!
I would recommend Sharon to anyone who has an immigration issue. She is a real gem. Thank you so much.
Successful handling of long and complex immigration case
I have nothing but the highest praise for Gibson & Associates Immigration Solicitors – they handled a long and difficult immigration case and won. I was kept up to date on proceedings throughout.
The firm has a great team of lawyers who deal with various complex proceedings and I would personally never hesitate to use them again.
Successful application for family visa
We highly recommend Gibson & Associates Solicitors – they got my family’s visa to come to Ireland. My partner and I got married on 24th December 2015, after returning home in February 2016, I, unfortunately, had two strokes that year. After three attempts for a tourist visa, I was unable to get a visa for my family and was told that I couldn’t travel due to my condition.
After two years and eight months, we decided to contact Gibson & Associates and received help from Sharon Shaw. Within a couple of weeks, my wife and daughter received their visa, arriving in Ireland on 7th November – a day before my birthday! My family is here now for six months.
Thank you so much for your help. If you have a problem with your visa like me and my family, go to Gibson & Associates!

Satisfied client returns for visa application help
I knew Sharon Shaw for years from another company. She is customer-focused and service-oriented, so when I needed visa services again, I called the number I used to have but it was forwarded to Gibson & Associates and I insisted on speaking to Sharon.
I was delighted to have Sharon’s very good customer service again – she understands her client’s story. It is worthy to mention Gillian too who is always there to speak to you in Sharon’s absence – thank you, Gillian. Also, the receptionist Karol is always ready to forward your call to your contacts.
Thank you to all. Keep up the good work.
