Firstly this office would like to inform you that there is a renewal process required under the STEP prior to awarding a 3 year renewal of permission. We note from our records that you are in permission until xx/xx/2024. When this permission is close to expiring (ideally 60 days before expiration date) we will require you to contact this office by email only (xxxxxx@justice.ie) requesting a renewal of permission under the STEP. This office will then issue you with a small list of requirements in order to determine if you are eligible for renewal.
Please note the following in relation to your queries below:
1. It is not necessary to renew your passport prior to renewing your permission. Should your STEP renewal application be successful you will be able to renew for the full 3 year period regardless of the expiry date of your passport.
2. You will be able to renew your permission online once you are in receipt of a letter granting you a renewal of permission under the STEP from this office.

・Affidavits of good character
てことで、 Department of Justice にメールして聞きました。
俺「Affidavits of good character って具体的になんなんのよ?何を用意すればいいの?」
3日後ぐらいにメールで返事が来て、
J「…renewal under the STEP we will require an affidavit sworn by you in the presence of a legal representative who is registered in Ireland or a commissioner for oaths.」
・2022,2023,2024の居住の証拠
・2022,2023,2024のIRPカードのコピー(って1枚だけですが)
・2023の CT1 のコピー
・2023の Tax Clearance Certificate のコピー
・会社のパフォーマンスの説明
・Affidavits of good character

この辺りの書類は、確定申告をすれば揃うものがほとんどと、IRPカードとパスポートコピー。自分で用意したのは、Affidavits of good character、会社の説明書き(写真含めてWord2ページ分程度)、2022年CT1、TCCがない説明(3行ぐらいのWord)だったので楽勝でした。
