爱尔兰投资移民居留计划是一个可以全家移民的项目，申请人及其配偶和子女可以一起移民到爱尔兰工作和生活。爱尔兰不是一个传统的移民国家。在爱尔兰的法律体系中，与绿卡意义相同的签证是Stamp 4签证。Stamp 仅次于公民的爱尔兰高级签证。爱尔兰投资移民的投资者可以获得Stamp 4签证。

从爱尔兰的签证制度来看Stamp 0到Stamp 6.签到双国籍的签证有效期和持有人的权益是不同的。 每个人只能在同一时期持有有效的签证 。

• Stamp 5
• Stamp 5实际上是绿卡，只颁发给爱尔兰合法合格的停留资格 96个月(共8年)的候选人。其中，96个月的计算是移民部门发给你历史上所有签证的总时间，不包括使用以下签证停留时间：

探访签证-Stamp 0

学生签 – Stamp 2或2A

临时注册医师 – Stamp 4

会计实习生 – Stamp 1A

跨国企业内部调动 – Stamp 4

跨国企业的合作伙伴或内部调动 – Stamp 3

访客入境时发放的临时许可证
• 同时，要申请获得Stamp 5还要符合：

目前，你可以合法地留在爱尔兰

Stamp 5

Stamp 5 indicates permission to stay in Ireland without limits on the time you can remain here, subject to other conditions.

You may be givenStamp 5

if you have permission to:

Remain in Ireland ‘Without condition as to time’ (WCATT) 1

Without Condition As To Time Endorsements：

Without Condition As To Time (WCATT) Stamp 5 is placed in the passport of an individual who has completed 8 years (96 months) of legal residency in Ireland.

The Stamp 5 states:“THE HOLDER OF THIS PASSPORT IS PERMITTED TO REMAIN IN IRELAND WITHOUT CONDITION AS TO TIME.”

This stamp is valid to the expiry of the passport in which it is placed.

Only immigration stamps in a passport can be counted towards a Without Conditions As To Time application.

The following stamps

do not qualify for Without Conditions As To Time stamp (Stamp 5).Stamp 0Student – Stamp 2 or Stamp 2ATemporary Registered Doctors – Stamp 4Trainee Accountants – Stamp 1AIntra Company Transfer – Stamp 4Spouse or dependent of an Intra Company Transfer – Stamp 3Temporary visitors permission granted at the port of entry

If you have any of these type stamps in your passport they

will not be counted

towards the 96 months legal residence required.

所以说Stamp 5并不是一项容易拿到的签证。或者说历史上能够达到以上要求的人并不多。首先是爱尔兰人口小，而且是个独立的小岛，移民本身不多；欧盟一体化之后欧盟成员国公民并不需要签证；早年其实有另一个绿卡和签证体系，但是在加入欧盟前后取消、改变了——

即便是爱尔兰国籍的申请要求也要低于Stamp 5签证。

Stamp 4 还是 Stamp 5？

自2010年12月1日起，拥有Stamp 4 LTR的人将不再接受Stamp 5申请，直到Stamp 4 LTR剩下时间不超过6个月。

总的来说，Stamp 4除了时间限制外，持有人权益与Stamp 5没有区别；Stamp 4最长期限是5年，一般情况下也足够长了。而5年期限的Stamp 4 LTR通常有实际上的永久居留权，在每5年到期后可以再续签5年。

因此Stamp 4相对于Stamp 5而言更容易申请，性价比也更高。
