afaik for unmarried couple the requirement was to prove 2 years or more cohabitation, that is the same if an Irish person wants to bring in a non-eu spouse.
Either wait until u can prove 2 years, or get married.

You are mixing the visa with the resident card.

If you are here already, u mentioned u got the temporary stamp, u have to wait 10 months to get the decision.

We got our eu4fam approval after 8.5 months.

i guess the first thing is to legalize ur partner`s situation, if ur child is irish (not spanish only) that u can u the zambrano case, that will take 1 year or more to go trough http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Applications%20for%20Permission%20to%20remain%20in%20the%20State%20on%20basis%20of%20...

update to my own topic: -we entered Ireland with my fillipino wife 02/2017 (IO was an idiot, had to argue for half hour cause he was incompetent for his job) -we had all the paperworks for supporting the eu1 application, so applied in few days -she got the gnib card with stamp4 in 4 weeks, expiring ...

apply for stamp4 of course, that will allow you to work legally in ireland, but be carefull, if you are more than 3 months out of the country immigration could be a b*tch and revoke the stamp4. Btw, you as a non visa required citzizen, IO will be friendly to you, cause u have rights to enter the cou...

as i see u applied as a permitted family member, cause ur father is UK citizen, can i ask how old are u? I think there is a limitation maybe 21, if u are older maybe the directive doesnt apply to u, if you are under 18 u cant even work or very limited hours and jobs. Normally u get the gnib card wit...

Using the SS route has another advantage, your spouse wont require visa when traveling in the EU, which i guess you want to, everyone goes to Spain for holidays for ex., normally your spouse needs a Schengen visa from that county, like Spain, and a re-entry visa for Ireland, both is free for you (ex...

that is why it is called temporary! stamp 4, at that moment they cannot fully establish if they really fall under the freedom of movement directive, and until the decision they are given a chance to work legally, in general what country could you survive without working, especially Ireland is really...

ohh i did not see u have schengen visa already, than article 10 card is not too hard to get in Malta for u, i mean assuming ur wife is willing to move to Malta with the kids, so overall it wont be easy, but from a legal point of view. Dont see what is ur ultimate plan but i guess go back to UK. I th...

I am from Ghana and presently live in Ghana, i am married to a British citizen, we have a daughter and another child is on the way. They live in England and i live in Ghana but my wife doesn't want to move to Ghana and she has insisted that she can't be by herself with two children. I have a very a...

Hello I would like to asked, can I travel to Ireland with article 10 resident card ?? And how many days of stamp the immigration officers will give on arrival ??? As I come to know jul you have bad experience with immigration officers even though your wife showed the valid visa?? should I say to th...

took them 2 weeks to manufacture the gnib card with stamp 4 , but that is sorted now.
Took only 6 weeks to get all paperwork sorted from date of arrival, cant complain.
Now we just wait for eu4fam card.

try to get as much evidence from Spain as possible, i read many complaints about the cost of translation when ging trough surinder singh route. All your papers will be in Spanish but in Ireland only an official translation will be accepted, for every single page u provide, some said paid 2-3k GBP on...

yes you do need a visa..but there is two category of visa if your wife travel with you ,still you need the visa but they will not charge for visa but if you want to go on ur own u pay 110 euro for the visa fee.. check uk visit website for this until uk is part of the eu, so March 2019, you can stil...

atm ur not in Ireland so that makes a bit more difficult, would be easier if u set urself up already in here. U still have the right though to get this Visa C. The best would be to show them where will u live, what will u do here. Even though im a registered permanent resident here under eu law, and...

My friend got his 10 years eufam letter after 6 month temp visa expired n he renewed for another 2 month on a same letter n finally last week of his 2nd month end he got tha great news . I neva even heard of 10 years eufam before .but i read the letter After 5 years on eu4fam you can have the PR ca...

The answer is the same, i meant it from the point of view of freedom movement directive. As a UK citizen he can stay in Ireland cause automatically he is a permanent resident BUT that is NOT based on 2004/38 directive (that comes after 5 years of continuous residency), but because UK and Ireland hav...

Has anyone tried to enter Ireland from the sea border with the EU-spouse without any visa at all? This seems to be the most viable option for a "travel" given the current situation with visa processing times. Thanks again for any input. No, you cant, without visa your only option is an article 10 c...

In less than 4 weeks we got approval for temporary stamp 4, id like to think it is because im registered permanent resident here, making the process faster, though they still want to see my p60, payslips, so it looks there is no automatic rights for her without me actually exercising one of the eu t...

Honestly i think your only chance - at least under eu treaty rights - is that your spouse will relocate to Ireland and starts to work, asap. Ive seen in this forum few people in similar situation and they were refused by INIS for permanent resident card, or retention of rights. Also you could leave ...

If he has good chances to find a job than about 6 months is still acceptable, in case you have to prove your genuine chance somehow, btw it is harder to find rent than a job in Ireland at the moment, that is not the time to be picky, get whatever employment he can get with at least 20-25 hours/week....

The best is to argue that your spouse did not leave the country and you for forever, but it is only a temporary situation. But basically you are in a bad position, under eu treaty rights you only have rights to be here if your spouse is working/studying/residing with sufficient resources. You could ...

pps number, bank account, rental contract, utility bills are all sorted for my wife, in 3 weeks. The pps number was a bit tricky , we showed the rental contract with her name and my prtb reg, saying we need the pps for her prtb registration , they accepted it. Adding her to electricity and internet ...

i would get an immigration lawyer, ur situation is complicated and inis is not that easy going, if u can prove that ur british spouse were exercising eu treaty rights for those years in ireland u have good chances, but if he left or did not work and didn't get csi for both of u its a problem and u m...

Eutr is almost impossible for u, starting with a visa, especially if u are applying from an Asian country.
RC in Ireland would only work for u if u are married to Eu citizen but not Irish.
Or maybe u can get work permit on your own as u have college degree.
