After the approval of registration 6 weeks ago, which I got an email that my card will arrive in 15 business days, my card hasnt arrived. And now I have got a job offer. They want me to provide work permit document but I dont have anything to give them except my registration approval email. They also said that they cant accept that email as a proof. Im about to lose my mind what should I do now?
Sorry to hear of your plight. The delays are across the board and the reason stated is digitalisation of the IRP (Irish Residence Permit) by all counties. Previously, it used to be just Dublin that had the online registration /renewals. The government chose to implement this project during the most busiest time of the year, and is now having to deal with inexcusable delays. Remember, it's €300 euro per person each year. There are people who may have jobs that require them to travel and now they can't.
The best you can do is to raise a query on the portal and attach any emails from your new employer requesting proof. Best of luck!
Ive sent query but I have heard that they may answer the query also lately, found some people got answer after 2 months. This make’s really no sense and pisses me off. I dont want to lose my job offer since it is hard to get a job right now. Im thinking walk in their office to ask for a letter or try the find out where is my damn card
I hear you but like another commenter said, maybe have a conversation with your employer and tell them what's going on and offer to start at a later date once you have the physical card with you.
Same here. Almost 5 weeks after the completion email.
Request that they accept the email pending receipt of the IRP card. The email CAN be accepted but they can defer your actual start without breaking the rules.
Same here! I haven’t received my card. I got an approval on 3rd Dec but still waiting. I have raised a query on their customer portal but no response yet. I raised the query on 2nd Jan.
