is this the video ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xsQ8C9hhhA8 One thing Ms MALMSTRÖM failed to see, is how some EU Consulates ignore applicants rights, abuse Consulate powers, while applying a broad policy of bad mindedness. If you fail to bring EU Consulates into line, any ...

I was indicating to the OP that the stamp 4 was issued under Irish Law......yes, I am stating "it is what is" because frankly, I am not in a position to question the Status Quo re Irish Law, I do not legislate. Peace! no problem, but getting back to the title of the thread why does a STAMP 4 holder...

Precisely the point. Irish government considers Residency process and Visa process as two separate processes, except for EUFam card where the process of acquiring that is agreed by the member states. this is answering a questions saying,"it is what it is..." it does not answer the question why ? If...

there is no logic, rhyme nor reason, http://irelandsreversediscrimination.wordpress.com/2010/02/20/1/ There are a few people to blame, John O'Donoghue is number 1 followed by Micheal McDowell with Dermot Ahern fully complacent.

I've got a trip for work next week, and being a non-Visa national I know there's no issues with me arriving into NL. My question is can I use the EU lane there with me EEA2 or can I only use the EU lane when arriving back into the UK? I will not be travelling with my wife on this trip! The rule of ...

Perhaps the Spanish forgot the court case they lost in 2003 see Case C-157/03 EU Commission vs Kingdom of Spain the resident permit was refused because the Spanish claim the the EU family member must state the reason for entry when applying for the entry visa. Result: Spain lost at the ECJ http://cu...

This is an interesting thread. 12 months ago i submitted a petition, 1162/2011. That was part of this case that has been bought against the Home Office. Again, a year later we find ourselves yet again being denied travel to the UK without a Visa/EEA FP. ,even after the British Embassy here in Stock...

Is it possible that the information you provided is old? They just notified me that my long stay student visa has been denied last friday, and they handed me a paper stating that according to French law, the reasons for denial do not need to be communicated to me. Thanks for your help! the informat...

It does not matter what silly border guard said or done. You as spouse of an EU citizen, and your wife may remain upto 3 months without any conditions. If you wish to stay longer, As soon as your wife becomes employed, self-employed or becomes a registered student, you apply for residence card as EE...

The blame rests with the bad minded crooks in Fianna Fail main guy being John O'Donoghue http://irelandsreversediscrimination.wordpress.com/2010/02/20/1/ But if the EU commission wanted to lessen the trauma caused to Irish Citizens and their family by the Irish state, they could allow Irish family E...

Yes, its a trick that Solvit play, they ignore you for months, then say the case is being closed. Getting to the Embassy matter. Its good point to start with Law. By Law they must complete a form (see Visa code Annex VI ) which details the reasons for rejection and procedure for appeal. Did they do ...

for the most part, most EU countries are too lazy to mention art 10 or art 20 on the card but some do e.g. http://i.imgur.com/egHtC.jpg http://i.imgur.com/FQc3K.jpg bizarrely that is how 2004/38/EC is written to only give art 10 exemptions and to compound the madness , Ireland finally complied with ...

Article 10 card is the initial 5 year residence card Article 20 card is the permanent residence card, you get this after 5 years. EU directive 2004/38/EC and Irish Law only allows the visa exemption for Article 10 cards not for Article 20 cards. Surely this is an oversight, a mistake in the EU direc...

there is a phrase when something is really stupid
"now that's a bit too Irish"

The whole re-entry visa for people already holding resident permits
just brings shame and a bad image on Irish officials

It brings a bad perception, because, well its really stupid.

Acme you say all this which sounds great but have you realised that: The French Embassy in London (as of Feb 2012) now requires all visa nationals - no exemptions it seems - to personally present at the embassy for their biometrics to be taken? That is full facial/iris scan and 10 finger prints. Th...

EU law going back to the foundation of the EEC, basically says for EU family members, the supporting documentation required at application of a visa is limited to the supporting documentation required at application for an EU family residence card. See Directives 68/360/EEC, 73/148/EEC, 90/365/EEC a...
