If you are married you can apply for an Irish visa in Irish embassy London and once you get the visa you can come to Ireland and apply for a residence card here.beckhamwest wrote:I am British citizen currently in United Kingdom with my wife and we are making plans for residential stay in Ireland.
Basically she is from a "visa nation" and she doesn't hold a residence card issued for family members by an EU country. However we want
to travel together although she doesn't have the required visa. But we understand that non-EU family members
of EU citizens can travel together with their Eu citizen within the Eu countries even if they do not have the required visa. if we can produce my passport,her passport and our marriage certificate.
Upon our arrival I will be exercising my EU treaty right as a student or get an employment to enable her apply for a residence card.
Please these are the things we want to clarify before embarking on this journey:
Firstly, will entering Ireland without the required visa be considered illegal entry and ruin her chance of applying for a residence card?
Secondly, she had a criminal conviction for the use of forge document to gain a full time employment when her document only
allowed her to work part-time, and this ruined her immigration chance here in United Kingdom even as a spouse of a British citizen. Will
this criminal conviction also affect her in Ireland since they (Ireland and United Kingdom) share the same common travel area?
I appreciate your response
Your wife can apply for DLR in the UK if you guys have kid(s). And in case your spouse was able to make it to Ireland,there's no point disclosing to them about her convictions in the UK.beckhamwest wrote:I am British citizen currently in United Kingdom with my wife and we are making plans for residential stay in Ireland.

Yes,you are right she can apply for RC in Ireland if she can find her way to Ireland.But,I'll advice you think twice about going through Belfast.I've once been stopped by UKBA at Belfast airport.Again,I've also been stopped by Irish immigration while on a bus from Belfast to Dublin.I was taken to Dundalk. So,I'm talking from experience because i know the risks involved.rebel82 wrote:If you are married you can apply for an Irish visa in Irish embassy London and once you get the visa you can come to Ireland and apply for a residence card here.beckhamwest wrote:I am British citizen currently in United Kingdom with my wife and we are making plans for residential stay in Ireland.

2nd option is you can enter Ireland via Belfast and once you are in Ireland you can exercise your EU Treaty rights and apply for a residence card for your wife.
How long she was sentenced for ?
If you are applying for EEA family permit for UK then under EU rules you don't have to have the immigration status in any country or you don't have to go back to your country to apply for EEA family permit. I am sure this apply to Ireland also but I hope any other member with more knowledge will explain you.beckhamwest wrote:Thanks for your honest reply! Basically she can't apply for a visa at the Irish Embassy at the moment because she has no status presently, and she was sentence for 9 months.
