Hi Scrudu, thanks for the info on the justice dept helpline! I am in Ireland now with my wife and trying to figure out the next step.the immigration officer at the airport just told us to go to GNIB with my wife's passport and marriage cert etc, but not about the EU1 form nor the health insurance th...
yes, it does seem like that they are pretty strict everytime you apply even if you've travelled to Ireland before! Im not saying that Indians are a innocent group of people who've been unfairly victimised, but Im sure the authorities have some sort of list of nationals from specific countries who ar...
hi archigabe, This happened because you have already been granted visa and visited ROI before (1-2 weeks for reentry visa as officials assured). Regularly it takes from 4 to 8 weeks if you apply for the first time. ON the contrary,it's been a long and painful experience for me! The first time I had...

Hi Margo, My fiancee and I have our appointment at the registrar's office in the Middle of June.

Since it would be difficult for me t...
Hi Scrudu, thanks for the info on your applications. We are actually in the same stage, and I am planning on returning to Ireland in 2 months on a visit visa for the marriage. Do you know if it would be a bad idea to mention the purpose of the visit as the marriage ceremony? What reason is your fian...
Hi Scrudu, Thanks for posting your opinion on my other post. It's been a while since I put that post up, but since I am now in India, I had my fiancee register with the marriage registrar for the 3 month notice 2 months back, and so I am now in the process of reapplying for the visit visa for my sec...
Gabriel, I would say your easiest option is for the two of you to get married in India, and following that, you should apply (free of charge) at the Irish Embassy in India for an EEA Family Permit. That is, your wife (as she will be) is exercising her treaty rights to live and work in another EEA c...
