In my case, sure if it is worth going ahead if you are applying for Citizenship as well (it will cost you €1,000 overall for the LTR - €500 to receive the letter of granting LTR + €500 for the IRP for 5 years).

Not Stamp 4?zigandzag wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 12:07 pmIf you've been in Ireland for 5 yrs on work permits then LTR is the one.
If you've been here for 8, then you can apply for a Stamp 5, which is de facto permanent residency (in reality it requires renewal each time a passport expires ie 10yrs in most cases). Renewal is a mere formality as long as you've no criminal record and are not a burden.
Note: it's been taking up to a year to get approval from the domestic residence division during Covid.
When your IRP expiring?Euvellah1215 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 3:30 pmHi, after receiving the approval for your LTR application, can you please let me know how did you apply for IRP card? Is it through online or did you book an appointment and went GNIB office?
LTR you get stamp 4. LTR is not "permanent residency" its long term residency.johnpromise01 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 3:31 amNot Stamp 4?zigandzag wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 12:07 pmIf you've been in Ireland for 5 yrs on work permits then LTR is the one.

I don't understand that. I have Stamp 4 Non EU for 5 years and I have applied for Citizenship already awaiting decision. Does that mean i can apply for Long term residency?NF13 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 10:47 pmLTR you get stamp 4.

Are you going for it? Have you applied for citizenship as well?speedytomatoe wrote: ↑Sat Dec 18, 2021 1:15 pmGot lucky - Ok got the approval letter dated 15 December 2021- fee of €500 bank draft or postal order and that formal letter will be issued once prescribed fee has been paid within 28 days of the date of the letter..

speedytomatoe wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 7:24 amYes I sent the €500 bank draft already and it’s a good timing as my IRP is expiring soon.
I applied for the citizenship few months ago. I can see in the thread that its taking a while for IRP renewal in Dublin so best to have a longer one and for ease in travelling.
Has anyone (based in Dublin) here applied for this Stamp 4 recently? Was thinking of doing this online and upload the LTR doc etc.
Thanks

Did this work ? i got my LTR letter but i want to know if i can get my 5 years irp card by applying online rather than going to office cause apparently only first time registers can get an appointment at the momentspeedytomatoe wrote: ↑Thu Dec 23, 2021 10:44 amJust on this - I got another acknowledgment letter yesterday and today received the actual approval letter.
As I’m in Dublin - I’ve uploaded this letter online now plus other docs required for stamp 4 renewal and paid €300. Let’s see how long the approval will take…
Thanks alot for your feedback seems i have no other option then.speedytomatoe wrote: ↑Wed Feb 02, 2022 1:09 pmI received the application processed email on 31 January 2022 and my IRP is on its way - I presume it will be valid for 5 years.
Further to my online application, I sent them a letter by registered post after I applied online to ask if the online application (quoting my OREG reference) is enough to register as the letter said you have to schedule an appointment. I attached in the letter a copy of the LTR letter and other required docs - basically same docs that I uploaded online just to reiterate its a renewal based on LTR. They did not get back to me but maybe that letter helped to speed up the IRP process.
So i think its fine to do online as Stamp 4 renewal. Hope that helps.
