Eu Treaty files waiting time - EU1 or EU1A

[Angel99]

Hi All,



Thank you @ashubby for your post.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone in this forum for their kindness and willingness to help others. I truly appreciate the time and effort you all put in, especially knowing that everyone has their own responsibilities and personal lives. I’m in urgent need of assistance with my previous post, as I have just one week to submit the required documents. Any help would mean the world to me, and I would be forever grateful to those who can guide me through this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hi,

You can submit a letter from a government body you received in that address in your name and your partner's for the years 2023 and 2024.

Secondly let the owner provide 1 copy of utility bill (electricity or garbage collection) each year 2023, 2024
and 2025, a letter from the homeowner with her address, telephone number, current date and signature confirming you and your partner live there. **Use paper clip to put all this together accordingly by year (letter should be on top).

If possible add evidence of home ownership.


**You don't have to submit anything about your old part time job. They just need 2 pay slips of your current job and work contract. Don't cause unnecessary delays for yourself.


All the best!.

Hello Everyone,

Am so much confused and i will so much appreciate if i can know the type of visa a de facto partner of a EU citizen can apply to join his partner. Someone said if i enter Ireland with Visiting Visa Type (C) that i won't be able to apply via Eutr1A before the 90 days visa expired just because i came in with a visiting visa. Me and my kids are currently in Netherland while my EU partner is already in Ireland working. My kids are also EU Citizen, while am not yet a citizen. I wish to know the type of visa to apply. Will appreciate everyone opinion on this.

Hi,

For de facto it's better you enter with the EU family member visa. On the Avats online form, for reason for travel you have to choose;

"Family member of EU/EEA/Swiss cit. (de facto partner)"

[Angel99]

You still have to choose "Short stay C". The EU family member visas are all C type visas.

Purpose of stay; Joining EU citizen.

Thanks @Angel99 for your response.
Will i be the one to apply or my partner will be the one to put in the application from Ireland.
If am the one to make the aplication, what are the requirement and how long the visa will take to come out.

I don't really know much about this type of visa unlike the normal visiting visa (C) type, am getting to know this for the first time. It's a great priveledge for me to be here.

Color copy of the following;
*EU citizen I.D card (front and back) or passport (Data page)
*You and your children's I.D or passport (Similar to above)
*Children's birth certificate

You also need;
**Poof of Cohabitation with your partner. In your case 1 year will be enough. (Proof you lived with your partner or evidence of relationship).

** Copy of reserved plane tickets for you and your kids
**Copy of your partner's recent utility bill or rental agreement in Ireland.

@Angel99
I have a few more question to ask.
1. Will i need to submit my Payment Slip/Contract Of Work along with all the required document or it's not needed?
2. Do i need to pay for the flight ticket or just a reserved ticket needed?
3. How long is the processing of the visa?

So i can be well prepared.
Thanks for your response

You don't need your payslip or his. No financial requirements for EU family.

Reserved flight ticket is recommended but if tickets are cheap you can buy.

Visa decision can take few weeks to couple of months. Or up to 1 year if it should be sent to Dublin visa office for further examination.

Hi @angela99

Still awaiting my review decision for EUTR1 application for IRP card that was submitted through EUTR4 form in August 2024 still awaiting decision whereas i was denied a temporary permission so i can work. all i have from what is listed below is vodafone contract bill . Everything listed below is in my wife's name therefore is it normal for them to ask for utility bill when i have not been given right to work or do anything apart from waiting for my decision in my review case .

I sent mail informing of my change of address with my family attached RTB letter and electrical bill in my wife's name and the requested things in the statement below. How can i respond to them ?

Thank in advance

If renting, copies of the following documents should be provided:

- Letter from landlord/agency or tenancy agreement

- Letters of Registration of Tenancy from the Residential Tenancies Board

- Utility bills for applicant and EU citizen

Other evidence of residence may be considered if deemed satisfactory. If you are not renting or a homeowner, then the person you are living with should provide the above documents with a written declaration of your residence from the landlord or homeowner in addition to any other evidence of your residence.

[Angel99]

Hi @ Terry68

Did you try to change your address via online customer portal?.

The person who's handling your case is just playing back and forth with you. RTB or utility bill in your wife's name is sufficient. You should have told your wife to write a note on top of the utility bill stating "I confirm "full name" resides with me at this address" then signed under it.

If your wife has a rental agreement, add this, otherwise let your landlord/renter write a letter with their address,telephone number and signed confirming you and your spouse's move in date.

Hey everyone!

I came to Ireland in January 2025 and applied for my EU1 from within the country in February. I received the acknowledgment letter and temporary IRP registration invitation in March. My question now is that they have asked me to take insurance which I have to show upon my arrival to register my permission in Dublin. Does anyone have specific recommendations for insurance providers for the same?

Thanks in advance!

[Terry68]

@angela99 I figured as much that they are playing with me to frustrate me I will resend all this with utility bill signed by my wife and the tenancy agreement in her name . Also my representation is weak is there a way I can move to get things moved to he get a court to decide the issue.

First send what I suggested and if they still try any games just report it to Solvit France. This center can speed up the process.

Not receiving a temporary stamp after the mistake with your Geneva passport is against the EU freemovement directive.

ok thank will do and update you .

Hi,
Is your spouse working, if yes then you don't need health insurance. If you are here under sufficient funds/self employment or spouse studying, both of you will need health insurance.

Hi @Angel99
My spouse has a job and is working full time. However, in the list of documents required as mentioned upon booking the appointment, they have requested the insurance. You reckon I can safely proceed without it?

That's impossible. You don't need health insurance if your spouse is working full or partime. Are you sure the required documents wasn't general or with (if applicable) beside it because most appointments are copy and past with just different date.

I am certain you don't need health insurance.

Hey @Angel99,
Thanks so much for the reply. I think it's the general list as stated here. I was following this as in my letter they have only requested me to register at the Dublin office and no request for any further documents were made.

Hi,

It seem they've changed the rules from 2025.
Though it's against EU freemovement directive the country is not part of Schengen so they abuse the law.

The registration agent might not ask for health insurance but to be on safe side;

Visit the websites i sent and contact them. They will recommend the best policy for you. Or you can request for a quote.

**Don't forget, the policy has to be in your name (Not family insurance), accidents / medical incidents and private/public hospitals stays covered.

You don't need payslips or work contract from the EU citizen but you will need proof of your partner's address in Ireland and possibly copy of the PPSN card of letter.
