Is that easier Switching for EU4FAM to spouse of Irish

[broli]

Hi Guys,

We wanted to know for general information if it;s easy to switch form EU4FAM to Spouse of Irish citizen (In a case Eu spouse has become irish). (I currently have my EU3 pending and Citizenship FYI)

Is it easier to Switch to Irish spouse vs renewing an EU4FAM.

INIS Says :

A. If you are a non visa required national who has entered the State legally within the last 90 days or if you are a visa required national and you are within the period of permission to remain granted to you on arrival in the State (except short stay ‘c’ visas):, or if you have current permission to remain in the State on an alternative basis both you and your Irish national spouse/civil partner should attend at your local Garda National Immigration Bureau Registration office with the following documentation:
Your original marriage/civil partnership certificate
Your original passport
Your Irish spouse’s/civil partner’s original passport
Evidence of your joint address

I am asking this because i see that they do not request the same document for Option B

B. If you do not have current permission to remain in the State :

Evidence showing that Irish spouse/civil partner (sponsor) meets the published financial criteria set out at 17.2 of Policy Document on Non-EEA Family Reunification (e.g. P60s for last 3 years, bank statements for previous 6 months, P21 Revenue Commissioner statements, recent pay slips, financial accounts, etc – this list is not exhaustive)




I am just try to figure which would be the easiest option for people who are already with valid visa in the state and where the spouse has been naturalized. and financial criteria like above are waived as one would not seek reunification.
