Sponsor Spouse to Ireland!

Hi Everyone,

I need some help and information to sponsor my husband to Ireland. I been working in Ireland since 2015 and got married this year in India and now he lives in Sri Lanka. I have a German Passport but been living in the UK for more than 10 years and moved to Ireland in 2015 for work reasons.

My questions are the following:

What would be a fast process to get my husband over to Ireland from Sri Lanka?
Is there a minimum earning or savings I need to show?
Is there something specific I need to make sure or my husband when I hand in the documents?
Would I need to hire a lawyer for this procedure?

It would be grateful if anyone has some information for me, so I can get everything as I looked online but was not able to find enough info and thought I would get more info maybe from people who have already been through this.

Thank you in advance.

Welcome and congratulations on your recent nuptials.

Don't expect things to move too quickly, there are long-standing delays in Eire in terms of processing C-type entry visas and also with EU documentation in general.
More on forum if you dig into such topics.

No, you don't need a solicitor if you are reasonably organised, intelligent and methodical.
Ofcourse if cash-rich but time poor that's a different matter.

Thank you so much for your info and wishes. I know it won't be a fast process but hope it doesn't drag up to 12 to 18 months. I will have a read through and keep an eye on the side to see if anyone will post anymore info.

Thank you once again.
