What Is Permission for Parents of Irish Citizens?

Understanding Permission for Parents of Irish Citizens

From 1 October 2015, non-EEA parents of Irish citizen children without an existing #ImmigrationPermission must submit applications through the Irish Citizen Child Application Form to the INIS Residence Unit.

For parents with existing immigration permission (#Stamp1, #Stamp2, or #Stamp3), they may apply to upgrade their status to #Stamp4 to facilitate full access to employment and benefits.

Key Steps to Follow:

  1. For First-Time Applicants Without Permission:
    Submit the Irish Citizen Child Application Form with supporting documentation to Residence Unit 4, INIS, Burgh Quay, Dublin 2.

  2. For Parents With Existing Permission:
    Attend your local Immigration Registration Office with the required documentation to apply for an upgrade to #Stamp4.

  3. For #ZambranoJudgment Cases:
    Parents who believe they qualify under the Zambrano criteria must provide specific documentation (listed below) and attend with their child.

Steps to Apply for Residency as a Parent

  • Prepare Your Documentation:

    • Parent’s passport
    • Current Irish Residence Permit (#IRP) or GNIB card
    • Child’s Irish passport and birth certificate
    • Proof of parent and child’s address in Ireland (e.g., doctor’s or school letter)
  • Attend Local Immigration Registration Office:
    Parents applying under the #ZambranoCriteria or for a #Stamp4 upgrade must bring all required documents and attend with their child.

  • Submit First-Time Applications to INIS:
    If you do not have existing #ImmigrationPermission, submit your Irish Citizen Child Application Form and documents to the INIS Residence Unit.

  • Await Decision or Further Examination:
    If your local office cannot satisfy the requirements, your case may be referred to the INIS Residence Division for further evaluation.
