Irish Visa... Class D

The Irish Embassy in London has a negative history, resulting in numerous
petitions and complaints.

Here is one successful petition that is perhaps of interest to you,
especially the official Government reply, that says the visa should be a multi-journey class D.
Even class D or class C makes no difference for EU family members.

They should only require you to have a short term visa, the equivalent of a tourist visa.

And most embassies are totally random about returning supporting documentation (other than the marriage certificate and passport)

Hi Wiggsy,

Are you planning to travel to Ireland within the three months?

If not, have you checked to see if your wife can get another Irish visa if she does not use this one?

If she can only get one Irish visa then she needs to decide for or against Ireland within the three months and make the move to Ireland if necessary.

Hey Bridged, I only just noticed this. - There is no restriction that if she doesn't use a visa she cannot get another visa, is there?

When/if we actually move (we are appealing the refusal decision - and hopefully its a possitive ) I don't see that they can refuse another visa, and if they do, we will just come over any way... - Directive 2004/38/EC allows it
