Like every year, I queue up at 8am in the morning behind hundreds of people for hours. Well more like 142 people in front of me, I was number 143. I queued from 8am till about 11:30am before I talked to anyone and by 12:30pm I was done.
This year was different, I qualified for stamp4. This means I no longer need a work permit to work in the sector that I am employed in. All I needed to bring with me this time to the GNIB office was just my past work permits, P60's for the last few years and recent payslips.
It was still 150e to get the same though and they only do it for one year at a time.
But cases like this http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2010/0911/1224278636072.html just scares me sometimes.
