Hey guys, My girlfriend and I will be able to apply for a de facto visa in December, as we will be in a relationship for 2 years, she a Irish citizen and me a citizen of the United States. I was just wondering while the de facto is processing, am I allowed to stay in the country until I find out if ...
Thank you astrid. I appreciate it. After doing lots of research, Ireland is exempt from the 90 day/180 day rule so I'm not worried about that. I was just worried about my overstay, even though it wasn't for very long. I have never done anything illegally or sneaky.. and I never tried to go around an...
Oh really? I have never heard of Ireland being part of the countries who have a 90 day in 180 day period. According to the superintendent at my garda station, I could leave and come back in when my mom was due to come if I brought all my paperwork with me. On my last post, a guy even said he only wa...
Me again.. I tend to worry too much- I know none of you can tell me what will happen exactly but just need a little honest reassurance hopefully. I have written on here many times about my situation in Ireland. I am an American citizen who is in a 1 1/2 relationship with an Irish citizen. I came to ...
hi, i've been on here talking about my situation in ireland. well, i got here from the united states on january 23 and was due to leave on april 18 on a 90 day tourist stamp. my mom is due to fly in in june so i wanted to see if i could stay until then so i called my local garda superintendent and s...
No, I've been here since January 23, as a tourist from the United States for 3 months. I got the 3 month stamp at the airport, which is the one that can't be extended by the garda station, it requires permission from the DOJ. I called my superintendent 2 weeks ago asking what I could do to get an ex...
hi all i posted last week about my permission to remain status. i sent the letter requesting permission to remain until july, 2 weeks ago as advised by the superintendent at my garda station. she said i should hear back quickly, as my 90 days is due to expire this friday. i have yet to hear anything...
Thanks guys. Is there any le-way that I could possibly get while I'm waiting for the permission to remain letter? I am due to leave Sunday, as my 90 days expires on Friday. I have tried calling everyone, no one seems to be able to know what to do.
I know that, but as I am here now, I need a 3 month extension to the 3 months I've already been here. I haven't received a letter back regarding my application for permission to remain.
I'm in Ireland at the moment, due to fly back Sunday the 18th. I sent off a letter last week to the Minister of Justice for permission to remain, as advised by my local garda station. As my time for leaving is quickly approaching, and I have only 2 days to hear back, is it legal for me to fly back t...
Well, I was just making sure because when I came in July, they just asked how long and what for.. Nothing up here.. just visiting my baby..we do plan on applying for a de facto visa but that's a while.. so just making sure I have all my birds in a row for this trip! thanks
Me again.. need a bit of help.. entering Ireland in January for almost 3 months.. I am from the US and do not require a visa.. am I only allowed to come into Ireland once a year for 3 months? Also, do I need to have any documentation at entry point when they stamp my passport? I came to Ireland in J...
To get a working holiday visa, I can still be in college right? I take college courses online therefore can travel whenever I please. I don't have to be graduated from college to get one do I?
I was just making sure that when I stayed on my 90 day allowance that it wouldn't affect me getting me working holiday visa. Hi, I only know the stories about Japanese working holiday makers in Ireland. I think Japanese and US citizen are in the same situation. Some of them had been to Ireland as a...
"Myself and my boyfriend found out on Tuesday that we had gotten the de facto visa, so I thought I'd post what we did for anyone looking for info. I am Irish and he is Thai, we have been together for almost three years, the first year and a half, we lived together in thailand, and in the last year I...

once my working holiday visa was just about up, we were going to apply for the de facto visa, as by that time, we will have been together for over 2 years..am I not allowed that? Hi, As far as I know, once your working holiday visa is up, you must leave Ireland. So you would have to apply for the d...
First of all, you don't have to be "physically" together for the whole 2 years, if you've proof of the relationship lasting the duration of the time. I've read plenty of posts, same sex and straight couples, that were long distance and only lived together less than a year and got the visa. This is w...
I don't understand your reply I guess.. I already have my ticket to come in January and I'm staying until April which is almost 90 days. I planned on coming back in June or July on a working holiday visa as I am in a year long relationship with an Irish citizen.. once my working holiday visa was jus...
missing my girlfriend baaaaad and was wondering.. can i go to ireland for the 3 months I'm allowed and then still be able to get a working holiday visa later in the year?
Ok, I was just wondering if anyone knows the timeframe of getting this visa? I planned on going to the Irish Embassy in Chicago and applying in person so I don't have to send off my passport since I'm going to Ireland again in March but I was hoping to move to Ireland in July with this working holid...
Hey it's me again- As of September 2008, Ireland and the US have an agreement where US citizens can come to Ireland and work for up to 12 months with this Working Holiday Visa.. I've been to the DFA website and the Irish Embassy website in New York and I understand all of the items you have to have ...
thanks
