Applicants Wishing to Change to Another Programme
If applicant already holds a residence permit through another scheme but wishes to apply for the MPRP, would he/she still be required to submit new residence Forms i.e. Form K, Form ID 1A & Form ID 2?
Yes, applicant would be required to submit new residence application forms to the Agency. The Applicant’s documentation submitted for previous permits will have no bearing on the MPRP application.
Can a client change his Citizenship for Exceptional Services application over to the MPRP?
No. The two programmes are separate and distinct. An applicant may wish to abandon his/her Citizenship for Exceptional Services application and apply for the MPRP. However, the MPRP process needs to be undertaken in full.
If an applicant who has already submitted an application under the MPRP decides to apply for a Citizenship for Exceptional Services, will the €40,000 administrative fee be deducted from the Citizenship for Exceptional Services application fees?
No. The €40,000 fee paid for MPRP is non-refundable and non-transferable. The two Programmes are distinct from each other.
