Help needed

Hi,
I want to ask a question please, I have a Irish wife who has one child and we are married living in UK, I live with her in her council flat because she’s not working and claiming benefits, we are planning to relocate to Ireland, and I am planning to submit an application to the Irish embassy in london, please what document do I need to submit and because she’s not work will this affect in any way?

Below are things to check
1. The child is for another man
2. We have our marriage certificate in Uk
3. I have a right to remain the Uk (Retain right of residence) not ILR

Am just concern that she’s not working and claming benefits .

Reply will be appreciated

If she can't work then you can't either as your rights are dependent on her exercising her rights. And now you know they share information forget applying for a visa and try a different country

I would advise you to get a tourist visa and come to Ireland and book an online appointment with GNIB and go with your Irish wife to the appointment with the marriage certificate and other required documents and they will give you stamp 4 visa to live and work in Ireland. They won't ask for your wife's income. You will need 3 different address proofs to prove you both are living together.

Thank you both

If you wouldn’t mind me asking, how are you going to support yourselves? The property rents and grocery price are arguably more expensive than that in the UK, and you won’t be able to get a council house here - well she can join the waitlist but that would be super long considering your current circumstances.

Getting Stamp 4 shouldn’t be an issue. The issue is whether you will be allowed to come over to join spouse. I can’t see any legal basis that would allow someone on tourism visa to join their spouse.
