Key Points
- Ireland will transfer processing functions in Cork and Limerick to its Dublin office for immigration.
Overview
The government of Ireland introduced changes to the submission process of immigration permissions for non-EU/EEA/Swiss nationals residing in Cork and Limerick beginning July 8, 2024. These changes include the following:
- First-time registrations for individuals residing in these counties will be registered at the Burgh Quay Registration Office in Dublin
- Applications for renewal of permission can be submitted using the Immigration Service Delivery (ISD) online renewal portal
These updates are intended to streamline and centralize the registration process, ensuring a more efficient and uniform system for handling immigration permissions. By directing first-time registrations to a central location in Dublin, the government aims to provide a consistent and thorough service, while the online renewal portal offers a convenient and accessible option for those needing to extend their stay. These measures are expected to improve overall processing times and enhance the experience for applicants, ensuring that Ireland remains a welcoming destination for non-EU/EEA/Swiss nationals.
