Stamp 4 renewal - Maximum time outside of Ireland

jamon_serrano

Hi all,


I have a Stamp 4 visa that I need to renew in 2020 sponsored for the company I work for. For personal reasons I have to be outside the country for 4 months, I am wondering if this is going to bring me problems when renewing the visa. I already arranged to work remotely for the time I will be outside and keep working for the same company that sponsors my visa.


Of course I searched in the INIS website but I can't find an answer to this.


Anyone knows what is the maximum time I can live outside of Ireland with a Stamp 4 visa?



Thanks in advance,

I was on stamp 4 and was out of the country for 4 months. I entered back in OK using my GNIB card that time. But I did not renew my visa after so I can't tell whether it would cause a problem when you renew.

I think if you have a valid reason and your company can write you a letter when applying to renew, it should be having no problem.

But of course, if you can check with INIS it would be better. I understand how difficult to get talk to them.

Good luck!

It is only if you applied for citizenship would periods outside the state be an issue.
