We live together here in Spain, I have 5 years residence card as a family member of EU citizen… we are planning to move to Ireland this summer, but we are getting a lot of conflicting information about the visa requirement to enter IRELAND FROM SPAIN…

My Question:

2.) HOW DO WE APPLY FOR THE (EU FAM4 RESIDENCY CARD) ONCE IN IRELAND ? what documents we need to get ready?

1)WHAT ARE THE REAL VISA REQUIREMENT FOR AN (EEA FAMILY MEMBER) TRAVELLING with EEA spouse FROM SPAIN TO IRELAND ? what documents we need to get ready?

Is yours a "Residence card of a family member of a Union citizen"? Did your Spanish spouse previously pursue economic activity in another Member State? Or is your residence document one which is issued under Spanish domestic legislation, as the spouse of a Spanish citizen?

2.) HOW DO WE APPLY FOR THE (EU FAM4 RESIDENCY CARD) ONCE IN IRELAND ? what documents we need to get ready?

Once resident in Ireland in conformity with the Directive, you can apply for a "Residence card of a family member of a Union citizen" using form EU1.

Then you are entitled to join or accompany your spouse to Ireland without a visa, if in possession of your "Residence card of a family member of a Union citizen" and your passport. Your spouse must be in possession of his / her passport or National ID card.

There is no need to shout.

Family members who are not nationals of a Member State shall only be required to have an
entry visa in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 539/2001 or, where appropriate, with national
law. For the purposes of this Directive, possession of the valid residence card referred to in
Article 10 shall exempt such family members from the visa requirement.
