Irish citizenship by marriage - is it still possible?
I have been married to an Irish citizen for several years but we do not live in Ireland. I had intended to apply for citizenship, but kept putting it off. Now I think I can't get citizenship without fulfilling a residence requirement. Is this correct? Is there any way around this?
Answer:
These are the conditions to be met if you want to claim Irish citizenship by marriage:
You must be married to the Irish citizen for at least 3 years
You must have had a period of one 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 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 will see more details of how to apply at the following Citizens Information Site 'Becoming an Irish citizen through marriage' below
Im not too sure but I think that you have to be living in Ireland to become a citizen of that country. You might have to live there "so many years". You should talk to somebody in Ireland about this. It would be up to Ireland to decide if you become a citizen or not
