I'm just worried if I need to reenter in Ireland and the immigration asks if my partner still in the country. I mean as I haven't got my UK visa yet because it takes about 7 months to be processed, I'm concerned if I may lose my Stamp 4EUfam.
The immigration in Ireland is each day more though making questions even to people who has stamp 4.
Any tip or information is very welcome!
Thanks
This should cover it ...
“Continuity of residence shall not be affected by temporary absences not exceeding a total of six months a year, or by absences of a longer duration for compulsory military service, or by one absence of a maximum of 12 consecutive months for important reasons such as pregnancy and childbirth, serious illness, study or vocational training, or a posting in another Member State or a third country.” [Directive 2004/38/EC]
The EU citizen is not required to be continuously physically present in the host member state – they only have to be continuously legally resident. So for instance, the family member can continue working in the host member state while the EU citizen travels outside, so long as the EU citizen maintains their right of legal residence.
