    I found the online booking system for Home Affairs a breeze. Made an appointment online, arrived on the day and did not have to stand in any queue. Photos were done inside and I was out within 30 minutes for both the ID card and new passport. Within 2 weeks I received an sms to go and collect both !

    Hi, Bronwen, like your videos. I have family staying in Co Wexford (Gorey) I am a EU passport holder and we were in Ireland in 2016 for a year but a good work opportunity brought us back to SA. The same Job has now gone global and we are going back to Ireland in the next 12 months. I would like to know about the need for an Unabridged marriage cert? We used the normal one last time round for my wife;s stamp 4. Did that change that you now need an Unabridged marriage cert. Thanks Maurice

    • @impromptuimmigrants
      @impromptuimmigrants  9 місяців тому

      Sorry for the late reply! As far as I understand the unabridged marriage cert is needed for when you want to naturalise as an Irish citizen. Also I was asked for it at the irish border... I suppose it all depends who you get at customs sometimes.

If you have any suggestions on how to balance welcoming newcomers while preserving the essence of Ireland, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
