Following this landmark judgment, the Minister for Justice introduced a scheme enabling non-nationals to apply for stamp 4 residence permission based on their Irish child.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>For non-nationals already residing in the State with lawful residence permission, a straightforward process exists. They can visit their local immigration office along with their Irish citizen child, providing their passport, GNIB card, the child&#8217;s passport, and birth certificate. This allows for immediate issuance of a stamp 4 permission without the need for a written application to the Minister for Justice.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>However, non-nationals in the State without lawful residence permission must submit a written application to the Minister for stamp 4 permission. During the application review, the Minister assesses the applicant&#8217;s connection and relationship with their child before granting stamp 4 residence permission.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It&#8217;s essential to note that there are no specific financial requirements for parents of Irish citizen children to meet when applying for a visa or residence permission. Instead, the emphasis is on the parent&#8217;s active and continuous involvement in their child&#8217;s life, which can include providing emotional and\/or financial support. This approach aligns with the INIS Family Reunification Policy Document of December 2013, which states:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;As a matter of general policy, immigration permission is intended to be granted when the parent can demonstrate active and continuous involvement in the child&#8217;s life, offering genuine emotional and\/or financial support.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>We have extensive experience assisting numerous clients in navigating these applications to secure residence permission based on their Irish citizen children.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In March 2011, a significant ruling by the European Court of Justice in the well-known Ruiz Zambrano v Office National De L\u2019Emploi case (Case C-34\/09) established the derived rights of non-EEA parents of Union citizen children to reside within the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1278,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lignin.ie\/ABL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lignin.ie\/ABL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lignin.ie\/ABL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lignin.ie\/ABL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lignin.ie\/ABL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2285"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lignin.ie\/ABL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2285\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2286,"href":"https:\/\/lignin.ie\/ABL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2285\/revisions\/2286"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lignin.ie\/ABL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lignin.ie\/ABL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lignin.ie\/ABL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lignin.ie\/ABL\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
