Naturalisation for a resident traveller

RahulGupta

Hi Guys,

I'm an Irish resident and working in Ireland. And I will be eligible for Naturalisation process in a years. So here is what I'm curious about.

My job involves a lot of travelling around the world from 2-5 months in every 6 months. I would like to know if my travelling can impact my naturalisation process although I've continuous GNIB cards issued without any gap for 5 years. I kept paying for my rented apartments even though I was out of Ireland.

You have to disclose and explain lengthy periods spent outside of Ireland. It's not necessarily fatal to your application, depends on the circumstances. If you've held on to your rented apartments, kept paying utility bills etc in Ireland then you'll probably be ok.

Thanks Dandelion for your response. Yes, I kept paying the rent and other utility bills.

Just make sure you submit evidence to that effect. Also a letter from your employer explaining why you have to travel so much, but confirming that your job is based in Ireland, would help.
