Help Plz

Hello

My visa has been approved 90 days stamp ( an Ireland Entry visa for "Family member of Eu citizen". under Directive

2004/38/EC Surinder Singh route ).

i have two questions :

1 ) Flight : shall i book Departure and Return or One-Way ?? is it safe if i book one-way ( i mean , will they ask me about it in dublin Airport )

2) which city is closest to Dublin , bcz the rent in dublin is so expensive

thank you

You only need one way ticket. With the type of visa you have, it is understood that you will extend once you are in the host country.

I am also looking for some rental property in Ireland in next few months, to do the surinder singh route for my future (soon to be) wife. The best way it to look on daft.ie. You can search in county Dublin, or the nearby counties of Kildare, Wicklow, Meath and Louth.
Best way would be, that when you look at a property, click on the map link, and see where and how far it is from Dublin.

Now I have a few question for you.

Did you provide the original passport of your EU spouse, or just a photocopy ?

Did you have to submit biometrics ie fingerprints etc for visa application?

How long did they take to issue you the visa?

thanks

The fact that you need a one-way ticket doesn't mean you can't buy a return one. For example, I was coming to Dublin from Eastern Europe, by Lufthansa (though Frankfurt), and the return ticket price was 330 EUR, while a one-way ticket cost 750 EUR! So you can just buy a return ticket and not use the return flight (just choose any return date, doesn't matter).

I guess the OP asked the question to find out if he is required to hold a return ticket, for the type of visa he holds. He/She already knows that they can buy return ticket. The query related to just having one way ticket, and if that would create any problems with immigration.
