A resident permit is a document or card that allows a foreign person to stay in a country for a set or indefinite period of time. It is a ‘D’ type or a long-stay visa. There are two kinds of residence permits. One is a temporary residence permit, and the other is a permanent residence permit. The fee for both is €300. But If you are a refugee, your IRP is free.
You have to own a temporary residence permit to live in Ireland longer than 90 days.
Eligibility
You will need to get an Irish residence permit in the following cases.
When you reach a registration office, an officer will check your documents, record details and stamp your passport. The stamp you receive states what activities you can do while in Ireland.
You have to renew the residence permit if you want to remain in Ireland for a longer time. You can renew your residence permit at the same place where you received it.
Those foreign nationals who lived in Ireland for more than five years with a sort of work permission are eligible for an Ireland permanent residency permit. It is also renewable.
Eligibility
You must submit your application via email at the Irish Naturalization and Immigration Service (INIS). If your application is approved, you will receive a letter of approval.
The processing time of this permit is 6-8 months, and it can also be delayed. For renewal, you don’t have to submit another permit application. For that, you need to visit your local immigration office.
