Me: Irish citizen
Wife: Non-EU citizen
Goal: Move together from non-EU country to Ireland with a Join Family Member (D) visa and obtain stamp 4 after arrival.
Issue at hand: The financial requirement is that I have earned €40,000 over the past three years.
Questions:
1) What constitutes satisfactory evidence of income obtained outside of Ireland?
2) What are the requirements for the translation and legalisation of this evidence?
3) Can the non-EU spouse's income be counted towards the financial requirement?
4) What is the logic of this requirement? From the authorities' point of view how does historical income from outside the State have any relevance to the future financial security of new arrivals in Ireland?
5) If there is a shortfall in the required €40,000 is it possible to use cash savings to compensate? If so, how much of a shortfall is permitted to be compensated? What is the formula for working out the value of cash savings (income equivalence) for this purpose?
Many thanks in advance!
