[sprangebeanie]

Hello. I dont know if i am posting in the right place. sorry if its wrong. Im from ireland, my husband is from india, we got married in ireland earlier this year, he went to india yesterday for a holiday for 10 days but he forgot to apply for a multi entry visa because he didnt think he would need it because he is on stamp 4 married to irish citizen. He asked the immigration in ireland before leaving will he need a multi entry and they said yes but he can apply in india and it should be done the same day, all he needed was his marriage cert and gnib card.... now he is there and they wont give him a multi entry, they say he needs to apply for a fresh new visa which i think is stupid... im really worried now and im pregnant so its not good that im getting stressed. Is there anything i can do incase he does not get it? or was anyone in this situation before? advice would be great please... also is there any chance they can refuse to give him a visa, or whats the worse case scenario ?

Your husband do have a "visa" (STAMP 4) all he need is a re-entry sticker on his passport that should be given to him by the Irish Embassy in Delhi free of charge. It is very strange that they are stating that he has to apply for a new visa or maybe the re-entry sticker in the passport they are refering to is the "visa". Irish embassy will not refuse him the visa as he already holds a STAMP 4 (which means he is recognized by Irish immigration law as a registered non-eu citizen).

The documents needed to get a re-entry visa if he would have been here in Ireland were...

1. His passport
2. His GNIB card
3. His photograph
4. Marriage Cert
5. Your passport or birth cert
