Students renewing a permission:

From 04 November 2024, applications for online renewals of immigration permissions from all applicants nationwide should be submitted using the ISD online renewal portal.

Applicants will not need to attend the Burgh Quay Registration Office in person to renew an immigration permission, unless it is deemed necessary.

Applications for online renewal from all counties nationwide can be submitted now. All applications, nationwide, for renewal of residence permission, including when changing Stamp category, are accepted up to 12 weeks prior to expiry of a current IRP card to allow sufficient time for processing.

Applicants must upload all of the documents required with their application before submitting it, otherwise the application cannot be processed.

The Immigration website provides a live processing update for online renewal applications being processed. Applications are processed in the order in which they are received.

Please read the step-by-step user guide on engaging with ISD services for further information.

The applicant's new IRP card will be posted directly to the address provided on their application. It is essential that they provide a full and accurate address, including the Eircode. If living in an apartment block, the apartment number must be included along with the full apartment address.

First time registration:
Only students living in Dublin, Meath, Kildare, Wicklow, Cork or Limerick, may book an appointment to register at Burgh Quay in Dublin. Students living in any other county must contact their local Garda Immigration Office for details on how to register.
