We are actually back to Ireland with my wife, though we had a pretty unpleasant experience with the immigration officer.
First question is the purpose of travel, i say we want to live here, than he goes ah-ah that is the wrong visa then, ha cannot let us enter, we have to make a u-turn, we dont have rights to be here.
I did not expect something like this, in Italy, Spain, Hungary immigration was kind and helpful, so i needed a minute to make my brain believe what he is saying.
He kept repeating that the Irish embassy gave us the wrong visa, i said even on the INIS website it clearly says that in our case we have to apply for visa c and here apply for RC on EU1 form, after that he was like ohh...
I said im a registered permanent resident under eu rules, he says such thing doenst exist, it is not possible, i showed him my cert, he goes, ohhh....
Than he checks my wifes hungarian resident card, and says, no, we dont have any right to be here cause it doesnt say family member of eu citizen, i say cause its not an article 10 card but a local one, that is why we got the visa.
Than he says we can try to apply on eu1 but we will fail cause we need a visa d, i said thx i will take my chances.
He was not only rude but denying our right to enter the country was really unprofessinal.
Than he goes, ok u have the permanent resident cert, my wife has a hungarian card we have a visa so we look ok and will let us in, after i claimed 2004/38, mentioned article 10 card and eu1 form, he saw that i know what im talking about, but trying to decline us that hard for 30 mins was something i did not expect...
