wow, thank you for sharing your positive experience!honda99 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 5:53 pmif it's a tourist C visa that you require you don't need to travel to london, just send your passport with the required documentation and it will be posted back to you.
I just got a multiply vist visa for my wife which is valid for 18 months, it took just under a month to get it.
1. Yes the visa is free if your a spouse of an Irish citizen, i'm Irish and my wife is non-euinput-output wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 7:39 pmwow, thank you for sharing your positive experience!honda99 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 5:53 pmif it's a tourist C visa that you require you don't need to travel to london, just send your passport with the required documentation and it will be posted back to you.

A have a few questions, if I may:
1.Is it correct that visas are issued free of charge to spouses of Irish citizens? What about dependent non-EU family members of Irish citizens?
2. A letter of invitation is necessary but how one presents 'we will be travelling to Ireland a number of times but with no specific date at this point'? In other words, were you very specific on dates/travel occasions?
3. The 'inviting' irish citizen resides in NI and will be taking a non-EU spouse to Ireland to visit their friends. WOuld that technically make 'friends' an inviting party? If reelvant, how did you handle this?
Thank you kindly!

2. My wife and i are travelling to her home country in Asia and we found that by flying from Dublin the flights were so much better and cheaper than flying from Belfast so my wife just wrote a letter explaining that we needed a multiple visa so we could travel in and out of Dublin airport, also i asked if the length of visa could be a year or over as in a few months we want to travel to my family in cork. i did send them flight resevations but i didn't say when we will travel to cork.
I just sent a letter from myself also explaining what my wife needs the visa for and that i will be financially covering the trip as my wife isn't working due to having to take care of our Irish child, also our child will be travelling with us.
The documents that we sent were my wife passport and 2 out of date passports
My wifes pre-settled status card
6 months of bank statements from me and my wife
3 months of my payslips
our flight bookings
A pre-paid special delivery envelope for return of passport
Marriage certificate
A copy of my passport page
A copy of our daughters passport page
1 picture of my wife
That was about it hope it helps
