@Toon Hello, am now in the process of trying to renew a temp residency permit ( 1 year) for my elderly dad following the sad passing a few weeks ago of Melanie Osborne we are left a bit stuck regarding what to do. Do you have any idea of the docs required for the renewal of the temp residency permit? as our appointment is Monday am !

any advice or help would be greatly appreciated !

thanks !

Not 100% sure but as it's a renewal i think its likely to be the same as original application as they will want to be sure that the applicant complies with current requirements now and each year. .. the Form and the current documents to prove address income statements bank guarantee doc and police good conduct cert . Passport and present res permit.

Am not sure if other requirement as in the new rules (blood tests for hiv tb hepatitis) are required for the renewals process

If unsure maybe get in contact with

Necessary supporting documents

The necessary supporting documents for each category, which will accompany the application, both for the first registration and for the renewal of the license, can be found at the bottom of this page.

Entry into the Republic and first registration and renewal procedure

In order for a TCN to submit an application for first registration and temporary residence permit as a visitor, he/she must enter the Republic through a legal entry with an entry visa (Visa) issued by the Diplomatic and Consular Authorities of the Republic (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and with the presentation of a valid travel document. Before the expiration of his visa, he/she should submit the application for a temporary visitor's residence permit to the central offices of the Civil Registry and Migration Department or at the district branches of the Aliens Immigration Unit of the police or to the provincial levels of the Aliens and Immigration Service, depending on the district where he/she resides. Regarding the renewal of the visitor's permit, applications must be submitted up to one month before the expiration of their existing permit.

Thanks both of you for the links.

I read the list of supporting documents required which includes a CRB check from previous country and the blood tests. I had heard elsewhere that these were not coming into play until Jan 2023 and were obviously not part of the first application we made as they didn’t exist then. Can anyone shed any more light on these new requirements and when they are starting from ?

Toon, regarding the renewal of the residence permit I can see it says up to one month before the permit expires but my dad’s appointment was booked by Melanie to be the day before of expiry as she seemed to have contacts within immigration.

Please double check with your immigration agent or immigration authorities.

The new regime and/or additions that have been decided, will be enforced starting from January 1st 2023.

It is worth noting that a grace period will be imposed to allow applicants to comply with the new regime's requirements until 01/05/2023.

@sakers82 I think you should be ok ... Especially as there is a grace period... I would suggest speaking to one of the contacts identified above

Thanks Toon, DVB. Will report back how I get on

@sakers82 cheers that would be most helpful

Immigration visit field report Dec 2022 for renewal of visitor visa/1 year temp permit.

Arrived early this morning for 7.30 appointment at 7 am no one was there but was fearing all the crowds waiting up in the stairwell as have seen before but luckily none of that.

we were first in and explained why we had not filled out the forms due to Melanie passing and the lady seemed to understand. Gave us a quick form to fill out and took bank statements last 3 months, title deeds, utility bills and letter from mukhtar ( don’t think this was needed) passport copy, health insurance etc but none of the new requirements were needed. When I asked what was coming in Jan, the lady seemed not to know either.

then on to quick biometrics and out. All in all a successful visit and in and out in 30 mins which was ideal as you do not want to be hanging around that place for too long.

hope that helps someone.

@sakers82 well done .. I know what you mean it's like the black hole of Calcutta on a normal day ..

Yes LOL 😂 it really is. Am not sure if it has improved since I went last Jan but seemed less chaotic this time as they had everyone’s name down who was due to be in before they let anyone in, compared to before when it was people queuing down the stairway
