how do i become a irish Citizen?

Question

if im australia and have no grandparents and my parents arnt irish how do i become a irish Citizen

Answer 1

You need to move to Ireland and apply for residency, the same way that people come to Australia and apply to be Australian citizens. You need to move though, you can't become irish while you live in Australia.

Answer 2

Why is it that you want to become an Irish Citizen? Do you want to get away from the commonwealth? I wouldn't blame you if that was the reason.


If you marry an Irish person then the following may apply:
If you are the spouse of an Irish citizen who is applying for Irish citizenship you must meet the following conditions:

* You must be married to the Irish citizen for at least 3 years
* You must have had a period of 1 year's continuous "reckonable residence" in the island of Ireland immediately before the date of your application
* You must have been living on the island of Ireland for at least 2 of the 4 years before that year of continuous residence
* Your marriage must be recognised as valid under Irish law
* You and your spouse must be living together as husband and wife
* You must be of full age, good character and intend to continue to live on the island of Ireland
* You must have made a declaration of fidelity to the nation and loyalty to the State.


You have to have grandparents, your parents had to come from somewhere. Find out where they were from. Do some research.

Answer 3

If your parents are EU nationality (not necessarily European, so check carefully), then you could apply for EU nationality. This would make moving to Ireland much much easier because EU nationals are processed far more quickly as they only have to apply for a residency permit and are allowed to work. Australians and New Zealanders need visas to work in Ireland, and this is time-consuming and expensive.

You can then apply for Irish citizenship after 6 years, or before then if you can find an Irish man to marry - but the chances are he will want to move to Australia!

Answer 4

yes i am from armagh. i was born in northern Ireland but under the Irish Constitution {even after the amendment } you can become an Irish citizen. i would first suggest that you claim your Irish passport to which you will get no problem. then speak to the Irish embassy and the will do the necessary paperwork for you. the comedian spike Mulligan was born in India to English parents after the war in which he fought he was denied English citizenship because he was classed as Indian. he applied for Irish citizenship to which he qualified because his grandparent was born in Ireland
