I agree with CR001 on this one.

You will need to sit and wait the full 5 years in Ireland in order to obtain the Permanent Residence.

Similarly should you decide to permanently return to Germany I would advise caution in case your German Residence Card is also affected

Hi all Sorry if this question has been asked before but I wanted a more up to date feedback please My cousin (non-EU) is planing to study nursing in Ireland self funded. I know a lot can change in the next 4 years however I wanted to get a general feel of the current situation before making any deci...

Hi mayflower805, can you please clarify that you have definitely travelled to and from the UK on a STAMP 4 (the first stamp you get after applying for the EU1 whilst awaiting decision) My understanding is that if the non EU on the stamp 4 is to travel outside of Ireland in order for them to return w...

Stamp 4 allows your wife to remain in Ireland legally whilst awaiting EU1 decision (I assume) however she'll not be able to return without first applying for a re-entry visa to Ireland.

Once you get a few utility bills on your husband's name you can try KBC as they are fairly easy to deal with. Don't fixate too much on getting a PPS number for your husband at the moment but rather setup yourself first (as you are already doing) so that ideally by the last 2 weeks of your husband's ...

I know what you mean & feel your pain but unfortunately these are issues faced by any of us who choose to go through this route without the consult of a lawyer (me included). Like in different situations I've come to learn of this rule the hard way so I have therefore from now on taken the trouble t...

If travelling alone, there's an extremely strong chance she'll get stopped and not allowed on her onwards flight since the U.K. has border control for transit flights. So you can opt to apply for a airside transit visa or a 24-48hr transit visa which when all things considered will cost you the same...

Reference: http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2015 ... e/en/print This Rule has always been there and I believe it is a rule most EU member states exercise. If you continue to read further down from the link you have posted under the "Retention of rights of residence" you will find this extract " (...

By far the best Option is to get married in the Philippines and since he is a Polish citizen residing in Ireland he will be able exercise the Freedom of Movement Route and apply for the EUFAM 5 year residence permit when you arrive in Ireland. I'm sure there are other options such as student (expens...

1. You need to move your centre of life to Ireland. 2. Your wife will need to apply for a Short Stay C visa. Ireland isn't part of Schengen. 3. Once she's in Ireland, you can apply for the residence card EU1. 4. As for the SS route back to the UK, no one really knows for certain what the future enta...

You'll easily be able to fulfil the 2 year relationship requirement because by the time your residence card application is processed it will be at least 8 months. As aforementioned from the previous post, apply for a short stay C Visa first then once you're in Ireland you can apply for the residence...

Start changing the addresses of your utility bills to the new one as soon as you can. Once you have received the first few you can start posting them out to INIS (even if is two or three). Again once you get some more utility bills etc to your new address post them out to INIS. It doesn't matter how...

There's no Irish embassy in Albania so the nearest one is in Athens, Greece. I'm not sure if the same goes for fiancé/spouse visa but he may be able to apply online for Single entry C visa and then post the application form with all supporting documents and his passport to the Irish embassy in Athen...

Hi there, Whilst the previous post has a point in my opinion he's being far too negative. Firstly Brexit negotiations have just begun therefore current rules apply. Things are getting harder I admit but not impossible so time is of essence for you to move. Secondly, irrespective of Brexit, the UK an...

Are you currently living in the US with your husband to be? If yes then you will need to provide evidence you live together as to satisfy INIS that the relationship is not fictional. So whatever utility bills, rental agreement, mortgage etc you have in the US should be ok to use. The proof of addres...

Thank you for all your replies

It sounds like I need to taken a trip to Dublin for a visitor's visa

Hi all, appologies for asking this question again but, Can anyone confirm if my dependent parent who has EUFAM4 permission in Ireland can travel with me to and from the UK without requiring a visitor's visa? I know the spouse of EU citizen if accompanied by the EU citizen can travel to and from but ...

He is not allowed to work on Stamp 3. He will need to get a job offer first and either (1) apply for an employment permit in his own right (just like his wife would have). or (2) if his wife is on a critical skills work permit or a hosting agreement, apply for a spouse employment permit. Full detai...

Hi all Asking this question on behalf of my friend My friend has work permit in Ireland and the husband has joined her recently on a Stamp 3. Can you kindly advise what steps or route can be taken for the husband to get some form of legal entitlement to work in Ireland please? Thank you in advance

They are asking me to submit all the document with in 10 days Same thing happened to me asking for more evidence. On the first reply I received from them they listed all the documents I submitted with the application they kept in file. On the second letter they also asked for more documents to subm...

Whatever you can afford really. There isn't a minimum requirement other than having some form of health insurance to comply with EU1 application. In essence any level of private health insurance is a "comprehensive insurance" since it means your parent is more unlikely to access the public health fu...

glad to have been of some help I didn't think you have to pay for the visa if the EU citizen applied for it? In other words if the person holding the EU State passport applied for the visa then no charges should incur. Whilst the letters are useful, the most important factor to keep in mind is that ...

I've had similar experience to yours in relation to my dependent relative. I initially applied for a C Visa Single entry since she had never set foot in Ireland (which was approved in 7 days from applying). Previously she visited the U.K. in two different occasions for 6 months at a time and not bre...

Like you pointed out there are many packages and indeed can be confusing. I assume this is in relation to Residence Card. You should aim for a health insurance that provides an average cover which has a midrange price tag. Usually most insurance companies provide a comparison table of packages avail...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advise as follows My uncle is married and has 3 teenage daughters. They are non-EU citizens He is looking to move to Ireland so that his daughters can study here and understandingly he wants to be near them He is financially independent and has funds to buy a property Is...
