INIS SPEAKS! (sorta...)

7 years ago

Living in Ireland, I really hate living up to the annoying, overly vocal, demanding American stereotype, but... remember, nearly a year ago, INIS allowed us to comment on proposed changes to the regulations for retirees? ...The changes that we were told were coming in early 2017? Well, early 2017 came and went, and I started emailing INIS monthly as to the status of the rules change. After four tries, I GOT AN ANSWER!!! Yes, INIS HAS SPOKEN! ...and the news is that " the new policy on Retirees is nearing completion
and will be published on our website www.inis.gov.ie in the coming months." I guess this means that we shouldn't expect any sort of pre-release publicity or notification to those currently on the dreaded Stamp 0 list. Just as INIS has done in the past, the revised rules will just magically appear one day on their web site, where upon we all can try to decipher what they really mean. Sorry if I got your hopes up that there was something meaningful in their communication, the sheer fact that they finally replied seems like a small victory. Now, about all the other issues I've repeatedly emailed them about.... :-)
