Part-time contract for EU1 application

Hi Everyone

Hope everyone is well. I just wanted to know if working part-time, 8 hours once a week is acceptable for the EU1 application? Or do i need to work more than 10 hours?

Much appreciated

Thank you guys

Hi Benfares,

You may have gotten an answer on another thread but here goes anyway
It would depend on what you are earning. If a person earns 50 euro an hour, then 8 hours working a week is perfectly fine but it may
seen very little for a person to work just 8 hours a week at 10 euro a hour when they are meant to support the non-EU citizen initially or be in the position to support the EU citizen. It would also be taken into consideration if the non-EU citizen started to work full time when they got their temporary stamp 4 and so would not need the financial support of the EU citizen. I hope this helps.

It would also be taken into consideration if the non-EU citizen started to work full time when they got their temporary stamp 4 and so would not need the financial support of the EU citizen.

Are you sure about this? I would think it's relevant for the family of Irish citizens but I don't see how it is relevant to EU freedom of movement, unless this has to do with potential burden on the state.

I am confused. Anyway i sent more evidence today, i sent a letter written by our new landlord and my new job contract even though its part- time is permanent and i can work more than 8 hours. I think you might be wrong leinster with your advice.

I am not wrong. For example, if the EU citizen does not work at all but the applicant (non-EU citizen) is the main earner, an application may be approved. This might happen if the EU citizen is female and chooses to not work but stay at home with the children. So there are circumstances where the employment of the non-EU citizen come into play.

Hi leinster

Thanks fot the reply. Are you sure? It clearly says the EU citizen in which case me needs to be in employment in order for the Non-- EU citizens spouse to get a residence card.
