Before I am not 100% certain that all the Schengen states have implemented the Directive properly, and that all the airlines are aware of our rights I won't go anywhere without making sure I have a visa. Saves just so much hassle. There is nothing worse then going away and having to deal and argue ...

I don't think that it is good news

Sorry, I should have put that is good news for people with 4EUFam cards.
If one is married to a German that`s the bummer.

5 year visa has been granted to my wife today.
She did not have a prior residence ìn the EU.
Please note that she had twice her residence visa renewed in Ireland, 1 year on both ocassions before all this EU1 thing.

His wife can go to any EU-Country together with him without visa

I belive its good news.

When will others introduce this I wonder

And for EU1, the reckonable residence is only 3 years

If you post something like this you should post link or copy/paste law where you find it.
Not true by the way.

Yeah but as Archie said that can take time...

The best is to leave on your own accord than get into trouble.
Where is your partner from?

As you can see we already talked about it here.
Irish do not recognise it like other countries may do, therefore short of full rights.

Is marriage the easiest or only option?

It would make sense to just do that

Directive, do you have a link where the law says about recognising unmarried?

I was dead right here!

Bit more of "digest"....

Don't know...only condition is that you should not be a 'burden on the state'

I assume that all usual documents(passports,employment details,rent agreement, etc.) should be sent except the actual EU1 form.
