Irish Visa for my third country Thai wife

Hi

Guys first post so please be gentle if im being dumb...

I am a Scot with a UK passport.

I wish to bring My Thai wife over to be with me here, I am (will be)
exercising my treaty rights.

I would like to bring my wife in on a 90 day "C" visa then apply for a residence permit.

Now looking at the bumf of the Irish immigration website for a 90 day visa she must provide loads of seemingly irrelevant info !!!

I understand she completes the online application, but the site also says she must provide lots of supporting evidence.


But I feel that the request for so much supporting evidence contravenes
Directive/2004/38/EC

Can anyone advise me.

Can we apply for a 90 day "C" visa by completing the on-line application, making them aware of our intention to apply for a residents permit after she arrives, and refraining from providing the not legally required documentation, by quoting our rights under Directive/2004/38/EC ?

Or what does anyone advise we do to go about this procedure.

Thank you in advance for any assistance provided.

The Irish are very messy and unorganised, they have many different
websites with different requirements, often wrong and unlawful ( 2004/38/EC)

Another user on this forum found this INIS list, which is correct.
