The Department of Justice has published guidance regarding the renewal of Irish Residence Permits, as processing time is currently up to 3-4 weeks.
"To facilitate non-EEA Nationals legally resident in the State and who are intending to travel over the Christmas holiday period the Minister is urging customers to submit a renewal application online by 31 October 2024, should your current permission be expiring between now and your intended departure date or during travel.
Therefore, Non EEA Nationals in the State, who are required to apply for a renewal of their IRP card, before or during any intended international travel over the coming Christmas holiday period, should apply online via the ISD online portal as soon as possible."
