Irish citizenship / Naturalisation.
We have been able to assist numerous clients in becoming Irish citizens through naturalisation over the last 20 years. The application forms issued by the Department of Justice change every few months and the criteria which the Minister relies on also seems also to vary from year to year. We believe it is vital for applicants to seek legal advice prior to submitting an application.
such an application as the contents will be open to considerable scrutiny by the Minister prior to he deciding whether or not to grant Citizenship by way of Naturalisation.
A naturalisation application is not capable of being appealed as the Minister retains a very considerable discretion in deciding such applications.
Of course this makes it even more important to take advice before you submit the application.
Visas
Visas give a person the right to travel to Ireland. They do not confer a right to residency thereafter. Visas applications are made online through the AVATS system. We can help with the submission of any visa application whether it be a short stay holiday visa or a long stay visa. We offer professional advice on all Visa applications and Appeals.

Work permits
Work permits are of 2 types. General Work Permits and Critical Skills Work Permits. General Work Permits will only issue if the job type being applied for is in an "eligible job category". Also the vacancy must survive a "labour test" which seeks to establish that no EU national is available for the position before a candidate from a third country is allowed to take up the position.
Critical Skills Work permits are available to persons who have the required qualifications and experience in certain critical skills areas which are currently undersupplied in the State.
Work permit applications can be quite complicated and will only succeed where every aspect of the application is prepared professionally. We can assist with all work permit applications as well as drafting Appeals should the applicant have been refused.
EU Treaty Rights
This type of residency derives from the European Treaties and its secondary legislation which sets out the entitlements of EU citizens and their spouses in circumstances where the EU spouse is residing in an EU member State other than his/her own.
It also allows for other family members to take up dependent residency in certain circumstances.
These rights have been the subject of considerable litigation and Stanley and Co Solicitors have considerable experience in applying the law successfully. These EU permissions may also extend to other family members in certain circumstances.
