Immigration Service Delivery (ISD): Who Qualifies and What You Get

The Immigration Service Delivery (ISD) is the system used to manage the legal status of people living and working in Ireland. It handles the essential processes for those who require official permission to reside in the country.

👤Who it's for

This service is specifically for non-EEA nationals. If you are from a country that is not part of the European Economic Area, you will likely need to interact with this service to maintain your legal standing in Ireland.

🎁What you get

Through this service, you receive management for your visa and residency permits. This includes the administrative processing required to secure your right to stay in the country and the management of the documents that prove your legal residency status.

💰What it costs you

Using these services is not free. You will be responsible for paying application fees for your various requests. Additionally, there are specific costs associated with obtaining and maintaining your IRP card. You should check the official portal for the current amounts required for these payments.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is to always renew your IRP card well before it expires. Allowing your card to lapse can cause significant issues with your ability to live and work legally, so proactive management of your expiration dates is essential.

📝How to apply

2. Access the official portal to understand the specific documentation needed for your application.
3. Complete the necessary application forms and provide the required evidence of your status.
