I am Irish; my wife Filipino & we have a child. We are making plans to move to Ireland. My wife already has a multi-entry type C (spouse) temporary visit visa. We currently live outside the EU. I own a home in Ireland and have E40k+ gross income p.a.
(1) When we are moving to Ireland, is it OK for my wife to simply arrive on her type C (spouse) temporary visit visa and then declare at immigration that we are intending on settling in Ireland and that she intends to apply for residency? We would arrive all-3 together.
(2) If my wife arrives on type C visa, that permits her a max. stay of 90 days. How does one apply for a stamp affording her more time so she can reside in Ireland while her application for residency is being processed? What is that type of application/stamp called? Does one apply for it at the airport on arrival?
(3) Can the process of getting my wife residency be started before we leave our current country? If so, how does one apply / to whom does one apply?
I have read some excellent responses on similar topics from a person styled 'littller' who seems very knowledgeable so hoping for some tips on how best to handle so that we don't ever end up having to be separated.
Thanks all.
