Emailing visamail is unlikely to help, I emailed them over 5 times over 12 weeks for a friend over a few months. The only reply was "The Visa Office is seeking to process applications within the required time limits but due to a very large increase in the numbers of such applications and the li...

Asking again as there was no response ... Dear st2447, Thanks for sharing your experience and then having the patience to answer the basic questions like mine. In your cover letter you said: I have attached flight confirmation that I will be travelling to Dublin with my spouse to satisfy section 4....

An EU1 card has a lot of advantages if you are patient enough to get it. Your parents do not have to apply a visa called EEA family permit to move to the UK They can travel to all Schengen countries without applying for a visa if accompanied by you. DanChak, do you have any sources that you can tra...

Hi, apologies for the late replies, I've replied directly to some of you by PM.

hi maaberglady45, we used the Irish drivers permit( provisional) , coa and photocopy of passport to apply for both

income tax....ok...would they need to see anything for that or will they take my word for it? I got the impression that they are strict and without relevant proof, they may not be inclined to issue one. Thanks I'm not certain but its worth a try. I cant really imagine what proof they would require ...

Hi, Thanks for that. So things have seemed to have changed by the looks of it. For self employment purposes, again I was let under the impression that you need to show them the proof of that rather than they just giving it to you. So uptil last year how did it work? Was it a matter of just simply t...

Hello st2447, I have couple of questions if you can help me with that. 1. I chose to apply for an Ireland Directive 2004/38/EC Visa due to Ireland’s proximity and shared language/culture to the UK (link to visa cover letter). I applied for an accompany EU spouse visa in late December 2013 and was g...

Hiya. When you applied for EEA2 under Surinder Singh, did you submit all your evidences about center of life and exercising treaty rights when you applied for EEAFP? Or you just ticked the box in the EEA2 form saying that you have a FP bla bla bla. Can you please tell me what are the papers you sub...

Thanks so much for all the good info. It's really invaluable to me. Re: necessity of getting Family Permit before returning to UK from the ROI: Please correct me if I'm wrong - Is what you are saying that if you HAVE obtained a Family Permit on arrival in the UK, and then your application for a Res...

3. The EEA Family Permit is the final step before returning to the UK. You don't need a EU1 to apply for a Family permit as they reasses if you have been excercining treaty rights in Ireland. Me and my spouse returned to the UK without a Family Permit. I think the final step is obtaining a EEA2 Car...

Hi, thanks for the detailed OP. I have a couple of questions for anyone who might be able to help: 1) When entering Ireland, do you suggest specifically requesting a 90 day stamp for the non-EU national? Is it worth explaining what you are trying to do (find property, register tenancy, apply Reside...

Thanks for sharing your story, it is really very helpful for others. One question please, me and my wife are british citizen and I need to call my parents through this route, from Pakistan for which irish visa they should apply, will that be family visitor or some other type? Please suggest. thanks...

Thank you for the reply and guidance and the attestation info. I have got a job offer in Spain so now applying for the schengen via for my spouse. Would the cover letter you linked be good enough for the schengen visa too? As I like the directive reference you put in. Much appricated. :D The cover ...

You can use TCS throughout Pakistan including villages. It should be within a month though mine took 2 weeks. Including flight booking confirmation speeds things up. No, you need to send it to the consulate the online visa system tells you to. She got the visa stamp from Karachi. At Dublin she was g...
