Why you need Immigration Solicitors to Migrate to Ireland

Irish Immigration Law

In general, you can become a citizen of Ireland by descent or through naturalization. The first one is simple enough.You may be entitled to apply for Irish citizenship if your parent or grandparent or sometimes a great grand parent was an Irish citizen. . Naturalization is the process of making a long-term resident of any country a citizen of that country. We’ll discuss that in a bit, but before getting citizenship, you must enter the country first. You can do this  in many ways, for example through coming to Ireland as a student to study in Ireland, to work if you have a work permit, seeking international protection, as a partner/spouse of an EU citizen etc.

Each of these has its own list of criteria and requirements. It is best to seek legal advice from a  suitably qualified professional as to the requirements for each option of coming to Ireland.

You can apply to become an Irish citizen by naturalisation on different grounds, for example having lived in Ireland for 5 years or having lived in Ireland for 3 years together with marriage to an Irish citizen. You can also apply for naturalisation on the basis of Irish associations, however, whether you would be successful in such an application is up to the Minister of Justice as she has a discretionary power to grant naturalisation on this ground.There are many rules as to what documentary evidence is require for naturalisation applications. That’s why it is a good idea to enlist the services of a firm of Irish immigration solicitors right from the get go.
