Irish Citizen living in US bringing US wife to Ireland

[crowdx42]

Hi all,
I am an Irish citizen living in the US for the past 25 years. I am considering moving back to Ireland with my US citizen wife. From what I have researched, I need to prove I earned 40-50k a year for the last 3 years. My presumption here would be that is income made in Ireland? How does this work for an Irish citizen living and working in the US? Can my US income be used?
Thanks for any into
Patrick

Hi there,

I am not sure if this will be helpful but I am attaching the following link. It may be worth getting in touch with an immigration solicitor in Ireland to know the hard facts.

Hi,

You will need to apply within 90 days of your arrival in Ireland with your US spouse.

Use this form and see section 8 for all the documents required: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/wp-cont ... c-2024.pdf
