To apply for naturalisation in Ireland, you must be physically resident in Ireland for a certain length of time. The Minister has absolute discretion as to whether or not to grant naturalisation.
The Minister considers a range of information available to decide on an application for naturalisation. You apply online for Irish citizenship. If you have already submitted a paper form, you can continue to submit documentation by post.
Paper forms continue to be available to those who cannot access an online service. To request a paper form contact citizenshipinfo justice.
