Online Residence Permit Renewal Application Process Expanded To All Renewals

At a Glance

• Effective November 4, 2024, the renewal application process for Irish Residence Permit (IRP) cards will be moved online for residents of all remaining counties of Ireland, to match the process already in place for counties in Dublin, Kildare, Meath, Wicklow, Cork and Limerick. The online portal is already open for these applicants, but is optional until November 3, 2024.
• Once this is effective, IRP renewal applicants from these counties will need to apply for their IRP online, using the Immigration Service Delivery online portal.
• First-time IRP applicants in these counties still require local, in-person appointments.
