Settlement and Long-Term Residence in Ireland
If you’ve made Ireland your home and wish to remain here on a long-term or permanent basis, you may be eligible to apply for Long-Term Residence or Without Condition As To Time (WCATT) permission. These are forms of immigration permission granted to non-EEA nationals who have lawfully lived in Ireland for several years, allowing greater stability and fewer restrictions on work and residence.
At HRM Solicitors, we advise clients on:
Eligibility for Long-Term Residence (typically after 5 years’ legal residence)
Applications for Stamp 5 (Without Condition As To Time – WCATT)
Transition from work permits, student visas, or family reunification permissions to more permanent residence
Addressing gaps in residence or changes in immigration status
Preparing a strong application with supporting documentation to the Department of Justice
We ensure your application is clear, complete, and professionally presented, helping you secure your future in Ireland with confidence.
