Ok, nevermind, sorry, I think I got it.. when I'm coming in this time, I tell the office that stamps my passport that I intend on applying for permission to remain for 6 months? So let's say once that is done and register at the garda station, and do receive a stamp 3 as a visitor for 6 months, can ...
Hah, great now I'm confused! I thought I just got the 90 day stamp and then within the first few days I was supposed to go to the garda station and ask for an extension in the form of a permission to remain? That changed now?
Alright.. thanks for everyones help. I e-mailed the Garda Station in Dublin. I just don't know how I would be able to live with her and therefore prove joint accounts and all that if I can't get a permission to remain as a visitor first. I have tons of proof of the long distance relationship and I'v...
Ok, so it's not illegal for me to come and apply for a visitor's permission to remain and then once it becomes 2 years, go and apply for the stamp 4, de facto permission to remain? I was just worried that I'd be there for my visitor permission to remain and they wouldn't allow me to apply for the st...

ok, looks like it's going to be me trying for a de facto visa.. but can i come in the summer and get a permission to remain for 6 months and then apply for the de facto visa? where do i find an application for the de facto visa? Thanks!
Well.. I guess I'd stay for as long as possible as a visitor because I won't be getting a work permit for now and I'm an online college student so that wouldn't count.. so would I be able to have a permission to remain for a year if I can prove that I have enough to support myself for that year? And...
well damn.. ok then.. if i do get a permission to remain for a year or whatever and then go home to make some more money, am i allowed to come back to ireland and apply for another one?
hey, i live in the us and just recently got back from ireland.. my girlfriend lives there and i want to move there because i love it there and she really needs help keeping up her new place.. anyway, i've been doing research and getting really let down because from what I see, the only way to live t...
