@Robert *****

so you both have endorsement letters? If you do, have you considered obtaining the visas through the E-visa system via WDC Embassy

@Robert *****

did your wife (as dependent I assume) , receive her visa at the same time as yours, or later.

@Robert *****

which LTR category if I may ask

Did you use an agent or correspond directly with the BOI

@Jonathan *****

what paperwork do they ask for - PP, Proof of Residence, International Driving Licence (including the country licence) etc??

@Richard ******

the LTR WP visa is a passive income driven one, and applicants must demonstrate that they can sustain the income threshold for the 10 year visa period

You will need to show several years of passive income (Private Pension, State Pension, Income from investments if you have it ie. Interest, dividends etc), and in 5 years time, be in a position to show this income is still there at the qualifying level - applicants have this 5-year check position assessed when the visa LTR-Visa application is submitted, and processed.
