Irish immigrants, Irish visa categories are stupid?

# Irish Immigration # Introduction According to the residence period given by the Irish Citizenship Service (INIS), the visa system issued by Ireland to foreigners is divided into Stamp0 to Stamp6, and dual citizenship is signed from the beginning of the visit. Everyone has only one valid visa at a time. The following is a description of each visa type:

0 1

Stamp 0- Visit (commonly known as visit visa)

It mainly applies to these categories of people: service providers who are sent to Ireland on business trips to perform a specific job; Special humanistic environment delays the visit time; Visiting scholar; Non-EEA retirees who have the ability to live independently;

Stamp0 visa holders must meet several conditions:

Do not accept the interests that suit the country;

Have private medical insurance, have the full support of a guarantor in Ireland or have the ability to live independently.

It should be clear that Stamp0 holders are not allowed to work or do business in Ireland; Except for the business or occupation specified in the letter from the Irish Immigration Bureau.

02

Stamp 1- work

Work visas are mainly applicable to non-EEA citizens with Irish work permits, non-EEA citizens with green card permits, non-EEA citizens with business permits and holders of work and holiday permits.

Stamp 1 has two subcategories: graduates (Stamp 1G) and accounting interns (Stamp 1A). Stamp 1 The holder must obtain a work permit to work. Or you can engage in commercial or professional activities only after obtaining the permission of the Minister of Justice and Justice, and each stay shall not exceed the specified date.

03

Stamp 2- Learning

The study visa is applicable to non-EEA citizens studying full-time in Ireland.

As the name implies, Stamp2 holders stay in Ireland for study, so they are not allowed to engage in business or professional activities. Their working hours shall not exceed 20 hours per week during the semester, their holidays shall not exceed 40 hours, and their stay in Ireland shall not exceed the visa date.

Students cannot seek public funding.

A subclass of Stamp2 also includes students who specialize in accounting (Stamp P2A).

04

Stamp 3- series

Most of these visas are issued to the spouses of Irish work permit holders or their affiliated personnel, and then to religious priests or members of religious groups who are not citizens of the European Economic Area.

Stamp3 visa holders can neither be employed in Ireland, nor engage in other commercial or professional activities, and their stay in Ireland can not exceed the specified date.

05

Stamp 4- residence

Stamp4 holders can stay in Ireland until a specific date, and can work, live and study in Ireland within the validity period of the visa.

Obviously, the Stamp4 visa is a generalized residence visa in the true sense. In addition to reunion forms such as refugees, Irish legally born and married, independent applicants can apply for Stamp4 directly by applying for Irish investment projects, or transfer to Stamp4 after holding the Stamp 1 visa for enough years.

Stamp4 is called stamp4 Stamp4LongTermResidency. After obtaining STAMP4 status, the applicant is initially valid for 2 years, and can be renewed for 3 years, and can be renewed for 5 years after the expiration ... and renewed every 5 years thereafter.

06

Stamp 5-Unlimited residence (commonly known as permanent residence, only granted to candidates who are legal and eligible to stay in Ireland for 96 months).

It should be noted that Stamp5 cannot be applied directly. You need to live in Ireland for more than 8 years and hold a Stamp4 or Stamp3 visa for less than 6 months before you can apply for permanent residence in Stamp5.

It takes a long time to work and live in Ireland to get Stamp5. If you don't live there for a long time, your visa will not be issued.

07

Stamp 6- Dual Nationality

This is a class visa in the stamp series, which is called dual nationality.

If you have lived in Ireland for more than 60 months, you have the right to apply for naturalization.

Ireland recognizes dual citizenship, so when you get an Irish passport, you can apply for dual citizenship Stamp6. This part is only for European residents with dual nationality.

From the above analysis of the Irish visa system, it can be seen that Stamp4 is a long-term legal residence visa in Ireland except permanent residence visa and nationality.

Moreover, according to the business practice between Ireland and the UK, legal residents with Irish business licenses are allowed to do business and live in the UK for a short period of time, and the benefits in the UK are no different from those in the UK tier 1 Investor Investment Immigration Green Card.

Therefore, if you want to get an Irish Stamp4 visa, you can pay more attention to various projects and ways of investing in Ireland.
