Immigration Service Delivery (ISD) has recommended that any Irish Residence Permit (IRP) holder whose permission expires over the Christmas period to submit a renewal application before 31 October 2023 if they have international travel planned during this period.
Implementation time frame: from 9 October 2023.
Who is affected: IRP card holders whose permission expires during the Christmas period.
Deloitte recommends all IRP card holders who will need to renew their card to travel over the Christmas period do so as soon as possible.
The issuance of the recommendation from ISD is reflective of the expected high volumes of renewal applications.
If travel over the Christmas period is unavoidable, Deloitte would urge all IRP card holders to return to the country before the expiry date on their IRP card.
