IRP renewal submission window lengthened

IMPACT — MEDIUM

The Irish government recently lengthened the submission window for individuals submitting Irish Residence Permit card renewals.

Key Points:

• Individuals can now submit applications to renew their IRP cards up to 12 weeks before their expiration date.
• Previously, Irish authorities only accepted IRP renewal applications up to four weeks before the expiration date.
• Irish authorities are currently processing applications for renewal submitted on or before Jan. 3, 2023.
• More information regarding submitting a IRP renewal application is available here.

Additional Information: If an employee’s IRP card has expired and they are unable to obtain a valid registration card by the expiration of their current IRP card, they are allowed to stay in Ireland for up to eight weeks.

BAL Analysis: The Irish government lengthened the submission window for IRP card renewals to help ensure all applications are processed before card expiration dates.
