I think you have now entered into the realms of fantasy.... 1. Of course I had convinced myself (actually my wife) that we wouldn't apply for a visa (meaning we wouldn't go at all), as I have already explained we didn't have enough time. I wasn't looking for reassurance, I was enquiring if there wer...

Partner is a non-EU married to me (British/Irish citizen) born N.Ireland, we are currently living in Belfast (with one child - Irish passport only, although is British by descent, born in an EU country) Arrived NI 2019 (prior to Brexit) via Surinder Singh route from Europe - SS approved, BRC issued ...

Thanks for the information, but I am confused why you wrote the following: Such questions aren’t really questions, especially coming from an Irish person’s point of view. UK and Ireland are two countries and each has their own immigration rules and issues different visas. In my opinion they were rea...

In addition we have a child who is an Irish citizen (has an Irish passport), just wondering if this makes any difference?

Partner is a non-EU married to me (British/Irish citizen) born N.Ireland, we are currently living in Belfast. Arrived NI 2019 (prior to Brexit) via Surinder Singh route from Europe - SS approved, BRC issued (under EU rules), then pre-settled status approved, and new BRC issued (British rules), she i...

Just found this thread, which more or less answers my question. https://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-route-applications/article-10-residency-card-or-eea-family-permit-t235016.html So unless someone has any other information, this is no advantage, and possibly a great disadvantage in applying for an...

Hi all Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I couldn't find this specific example. With regard to the SS route before Brexit (29th March 2019) is there any requirement to first apply for an EEA FP? Currently we are living in Malta, I am British, wife non-EU, we both have Maltese RC's (h...

Thanks for the reply

My wife decided to go back to CFO office in Manila and spoke to the manager, who arranged for the Sticker to be attached to her passport, not really sure what the confusion was.

Anyway, she had no problems when leaving Manila.

Hope this is of use to someone else.

Hi I used to live in the Philippines with my g/f, then wife and we travelled around Asia without any problems, and when we got married she applied for CFO certificate so she could change her surname on her passport. However, she was not issued with a sticker as we were not planning to emigrate at th...

We plan to go to Malta, but will enter Schengen via the Czech Republic I understand what you are saying, but do they mark 90 days on the passport, if not, how would they distinguish between a visitor who has over-stayed their visa, and non-EU spouse who has accompanied their wife/husband Also, with ...

Me = Irish Citizen Spouse = Filipina Status = Married 15 Months Location = Living & Working in the Philippines Background - last year successfully applied for a Schengen visa - most European embassies in Manila refused/ignored our requests (see previous thread for further details): http://www.immigr...

Also, received a phone call from the Italian embassy Basically, repeating the same mantra: Them: The marriage has to be registered in Ireland Me: Ireland doesn't have a mechanism for registering a foreign marriage Them: Then you have to apply for a tourist visa and pay 60 Euros Me: I don't want to p...

Reply received from the Irish Embassy: Dear Sir, Thank you for your email. This is to confirm that Ireland recognizes civil marriage certificates issued by a foreign country if the citizen was married abroad as they have no facility to register foreign marriages. Under normal circumstances our offic...

Thanks for all the replies - I will answer all the questions, however: Something I didn't mention earlier, is that I actually have dual citizenship, British/Irish (born Northern Ireland) I only got my Irish passport recently (18 months ago) primarily due to avoid the extreme hassle of dealing with t...

Thanks for your quick reply I emailed the Italian embassy enquiring what they meant by "registered", however they have yet to answer How would I go about getting the UK to recognise my marriage? What is the process? Also I searched through the forums and I found a similar example where the Spanish e...

Quick Facts: Me - British citizen Wife - Filipina We live - Philippines Plans - two week vacation in Italy Have approached the Italian embassy in Manila, quoting Directive 2004/38/EC They have stated that this *may* only apply to us if "our marriage is registered in the UK" Questions: I have no ide...
