The Immigrant Investor Programme does NOT provide for preferential access to naturalization for successful applicants. As per the provisions of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Acts 1957-2004, the legislation requires applicants for Irish naturalization to be physically resident in Ireland for the 12 months prior to application, and to be physically resident in Ireland for four of the preceding eight years, i.e. 5 years.
