## Resource

Ireland’s citizenship rules are set to change—raising the residency requirement from five to eight years, plus adding language and civics tests—leaving thousands like Ivan, a Brazilian who’s called Ireland home for nearly five years, anxious and stuck. With no transition plan in sight, many face years of delay, forcing them to pause life plans while the government pushes forward with new requirements they say will make citizens more integrated—but critics argue it’s ignoring the real human cost.
