I am not expert in this particular case.

But yes according to the law you must inform the office and apply for retention of rights using EU5 application.

I went to local Gardai Station yesterday. It seems EU Treaty office are sending instructions to your local garda office and they haven't received this letter from EU Treaty office and so Gardai advised me to come again next week. 5 years ago when I got EU1 application approved, this was not the case...

Thanks Dana. Have a good week ahead Your spouse is carrying a IRP (GNIB) card which is a residence permit issued under Article 10, Directive 2004/38/EC. I suppose you could carry the below just in case? But all you need is your spouse's passport, GNIB/IRP, and proof of relationship. the Directive it...

Thanks Dana.

However, many immigration officers from different EU countries are not aware of Stamp4EUFAM. Is there any legal documentation that I could take?

If the EUFAM holder is traveling with or joining their EU citizen spouse then they can travel without a visa.

I have been contacting Hungarian embassy in Dublin to check if Stamp4EUFAM holder could visit Hungary with EU spouse but no response. Without getting Schengen visa.

Anyone visited Hungary with Stamp4EUFAM recently?

Yes, me too tired with visa, updating EU office of any changes, etc. I have also applied for citizenship. Do you think citizenship office will take into consideration that I have 10 years residence permit? Congratulations for your visa. Hope we will all get good news from citizenship real soon ,pret...

That's great. Do you know if your EU spouse still need to exercise her rights in order to keep Stamp4EUFAM? Stamp 4 EUFam that what you get,and after I received my pr and a letter said “ if any circumstances had changes ,onus is on you to notify them ,so I guess yes your EU spouses still need to exe...

So far 75% of people have travelled in the last 1 year.

Hi Obie, I am looking for this info. Could you please tell me if there is an official statement available that EU spouse doesn't have to exercise their rights? On a friends letter it says “ if any circumstances had changes ,onus is on you to notify the office " And yes, EU spouse needed to go togeth...

Hello Friend
i got recently eu3 application approved and the immigraion officer issued me stamp 4euFam and i don’t know the eu spouse still need to be exercise eu treaty rights

Do we get Stamp4 or Stamp4EUFAM once EU3 application has granted?

Also, does the EU national still require to exercise rights (working, studying, etc) once EU3 application has approved?

Always apply for EU3 application atleast 6 months before the expiry of your current Stamp4EUFAM. It's even mentioned in their website. I applied 7 months before the expiry and my EU3 application is still pending, 7 months gone. My employer requested me to provide a new stamp 4, so I immediately cont...

7.5 months now. They said I should get response by end of October

How long you been waiting for Eu3 approval?

When I got my Stamp4EUFAM for 5 years I was in Waterford city and just had to bring my EU spouse and our passports along with decision letter from EU Treaty office. No questions or documents were asked. I am waiting for EU3 approval at the moment and will see if local Garda office will request for f...

I wonder what County is it? If it's a very small county then maybe they are not aware of the rules? My friend was asked to pay 300 euros for GNIB card but when he told them it's EU Treaty application again then officer said and what? Then person told him the rule that there is no charge then Gardai ...

And what's the next step? Supposed to get letter to pay 950 euros?

So I received a letter from Citizenship office which says: "Your application has now been initially assessed, and has proceeded to the second stage of processing. Your application is being processed with a view to establishing whether you meet the statutory conditions for the granting of naturalisat...

They asked things what are listed in the EU 3 application. But it has to be for 5 years. Make sure you apply atleast 9 months before expiry of your Stamp4EUFAM card. I applied 6 months before and almost had a gap in my residency as they didn't issue a temporary stamp for me, however garda officer wa...

Yea I did get the stamp on my passport before getting the IRP. The immigration officer was kind enough as my case is genuine and I submitted EU3 application 7 months ago without being issued any temporary permission.

I suggest wait for 2 week until you get IRP.

No fee for EU FAM.

I live outside of Dublin and immigration officer was kind and stamped my passport also, IRP to arrive in 3 weeks time.
