A friend of a friend from Asia has asked me to sign her application for residency (she has been in Ireland 5+ years), can anyone point me in the direction for information on this or give me some info.
What's your problem with signing? I've done it for a friend, it's nothing major. You may be called for a character reference but that's unlikely if everything is above board.
It is just for a character reference....nothing to worry about. It could be years before they contact you..and get round to processing the application.
