Those who seek recognition of Irish citizenship by descent enjoy the full benefits of being a European Union citizen. An Irish passport entitles its holder to certain rights and privileges that exist across all 27 member countries. Irish citizens can live and work anywhere in the European Union without restriction as well as travel therein without border controls and without visas. Additionally, Irish citizenship can be passed on to children and future generations, and spouses obtain equal working and residential rights.

To become an Irish citizen by descent, no donation, investment, or due diligence is required. You must simply provide a number of documents including original birth, marriage, and other civil records to prove your claim that you have an Irish-born grandparent or parent. All foreign documents must be accompanied by certified English translations if not originally in English or Irish.
Irish citizenship by descent applications are processed by the Irish government through the Passport Service of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The process typically takes 10-18 months for completion. Once citizenship is granted, you will have your name entered in the Foreign Births Register. After citizenship is conferred, you can apply for an Irish passport through the Passport Office and enjoy full rights as an Irish and EU citizen, including the right to live and work anywhere in the European Union.
