Berkeley Solicitors recently received a very successful and significant decision in which our client was granted naturalisation having been on Stamp 0 for a period of over five years preceding the application.<\/p>\n

This is an exceptional decision given the Department\u2019s suggestions that stamp 0 residence permission is a low-level immigration status which is not intended to be reckonable for Citizenship and is granted for a limited and specific stay in Ireland.<\/p>\n

The INIS website<\/a> clarifies that:<\/p>\n

\u201cStamp 0 indicates permission to stay in Ireland for a temporary period, subject to conditions.<\/em><\/p>\n

Summary of conditions:<\/em><\/p>\n

You must be of independent means, ie fully financially self-sufficient. Alternatively, your sponsor in Ireland must be of independent means and can support you fully.<\/em><\/p>\n

You cannot receive any benefits or use publicly funded services, eg be treated at a public hospital. You must have private medical insurance.<\/em><\/p>\n

You must not work or engage in any business, trade or profession unless specified in a letter of permission from INIS.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

There are three main types of persons eligible for Stamp 0:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Elderly dependent relatives<\/li>\n
  2. Persons of independent means (financial threshold is considered in an around 50,000 with access to a lump sum of money in the event of unforeseen major expenses).<\/li>\n
  3. Visiting academics working here for less than nine months.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Our client met all the conditions of Stamp 0 permission. Stamp 0 permission means that a person cannot work in the State, engage in self-employment, access State benefits or rely on State resources. Therefore, an individual on Stamp 0 must be wholly and totally self-sufficient or dependent. The individual is also required to reside continuously in the State.<\/p>\n

    Reckonable residence is the duration of a person\u2019s residence when assessing an application for naturalisation.<\/p>\n

    This is the first case we are aware of where Stamp 0 has been accepted as reckonable residence for the purpose of naturalising.<\/p>\n

    Although acquiring citizenship is a privilege and not a right and is subject to the Minister\u2019s absolute discretion, the Minister must act within the confines of the statutory definition of reckonable residence as defined at Section 16 A of the the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956, as amended.<\/p>\n

    This is a very hopeful outcome for individuals who are resident on stamp 0 permission, and they have made Ireland their permanent home but have concerns regarding their reckonable residence in the State for the purposes of naturalization.<\/p>\n

    We at Berkeley Solicitors welcome this very encouraging development surrounding reckonable residence and are happy to advise any clients wishing to pursue their naturalization application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
