APPLICANT: (FULL NAME)

APPLICATION REFERENCE: (VISA REF NUMBER)

DATE: (DD/MM/YY)


Dear Sir/Madam

I am applying as the qualifying SPOUSE of an EEA citizen to ACCOMPANY him/her when he moves to the Republic of Ireland to exercise his treaty rights by working in the state.

According to the Guidelines for Visa Officers - Rev. 13/12/2013 WV1 "it is not permitted to request the applicant to provide additional proofs....regarding the purpose of their travel to the State and their means of subsistence while in the State e.g. evidence of employment, invitation letter from host or return ticket."

The guidelines also states "applications from qualifying family members must be accelerated i.e. processed within four weeks from the time that the application is first received in an Irish Visa Office or Mission. The four week period includes all time spent transferring documents in relation to the application between offices e.g. in diplomatic bags."

I have attached flight confirmation that I will be travelling to Dublin with my spouse to satisfy section 4.5 of the visa guidelines "it is important to note that an application cannot be refused on the basis that the EU citizen is not exercising free movement rights in the State if (a) it is shown that the EU citizen will be accompanying the applicant on their journey to the State.."

Yours faithfully.
