As an American, I know that I can only travel to Ireland for a maximum of three months and if I wish to stay longer, I need to request "permission to remain".
Do all requests to remain - even just an extra three months (so just six months total) - need to be applied for and approved by INIS in Dublin along with supporting documentation of income, net worth, etc?

Hi Kevin -- if you know specifically how long you plan to stay, I'd communicate directly with INIS Dublin in advance of your trip and have your extended visit approved in advance. The only exception I know of is if you're already in-country, have applied for an annual Stamp 0, and are awaiting a determination from INIS... (which takes FOREVER)... since you're 'in the system' a local Garda immigration officer can approve an extension and note it in the computer. Just my 2 cents...

Thanks Dave but my question is what exactly is required to get into the "system"? Is it the same as the 12 month renewable Stamp 0 we unfortunately know so much about about or is there a lighter version, especially for those of us who will not qualify under the new Stamp 0 rules but at least hope to extend their stays a few months longer?

INIS reserves the right to do anything they want. Probably the solution I'd take would be to contact them directly in advance of your trip, state your case, and hope for the best. They've toughened up extensions of the 90 day stamp and essentially taken that option for judgement away from the local immigration officers -- at least that's my impression.
