Ireland’s Immigration Service Delivery has notified its customers that the Immigration Services Registration Office at Burgh Quay in Dublin is currently experiencing a very large volume of applications for renewal of permission, with a current processing time to renew an IRP card of three to four weeks.
- Following registration renewal, it may take a further two weeks to receive a new IRP card via post.
- An in-date IRP card may be required to facilitate travel to and from Ireland.
- Non-EEA nationals legally resident in or near Dublin who are intending to travel over the Christmas holiday period and who are required to submit a renewal application are urged to do so online, via the ISD portal, as soon as possible and by October 31, 2023.
Considering the current processing times, of almost 6 weeks, the Immigration Services Registration Office Burgh Quay Dublin cannot guarantee that any renewal submitted after October 31, 2023, will be processed and an IRP card delivered in time to facilitate travel over the Christmas holiday period.
