View answerThe Regularisation of Long Term Undocumented Migrants Scheme opened for applications on 31 January 2022. Applications will be accepted for six months until 31 July 2022, when the scheme will close. The scheme is open to those who do not have a current permission to reside in the State and will enable eligible applicants to remain and reside in the State and to regularise their residency status.
When submitting an application for the scheme the onus is on the applicant to determine if they satisfy all of the eligibility criteria. Proofs of residency for each of the required years, proof of identity and proof of the claimed familial relationship must be included in the application. The applicant will also be required to complete eVetting and to meet the good character and conduct criteria.
Full details regarding the qualifying criteria, a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document and the required documentation for the Scheme is available on my Department's website at: www.irishimmigration.ie/regularisation-of-long-term-undocumented-migrant-scheme/.
