Thanks for replies. I have been talking to Visa Section, Department of Justice, Equality & Law Reform 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 There are a couple of people there who reply to emails but adament about not granting a visa. I had all this with France before - who never conceded and my partner nev...
For those following this thread, Ireland is not issuing visas to "the partner with whom the Union citizen has a durable relationship, duly attested" This is the reply I received from the Irish visa section Unfortunately Ireland does not recognise civil partnerships. Your partner will need ...
No update as yet. The French consulate in London said it passed the question on to the French Government department. Heard nothing since. My Euro MEP has taken it up in Brussels but yet no news. So still waiting.
Well, for one they are not getting the £60 from us! Fairtrade Strangely, this afternoon, received this reply from the Signpost Service of the ECU Commission - that totally contradicts Monsieur at the Consulat. Replied to the consulate letting them know that the French Gov position is contravening E...
not contacted solvit yet - was waiting for a reply from EU citizens rights first - but they do not reply even though say they will in a 8 day period - but give it a go

I agree the French should give the visa - free - as do other countries - but they are not for doing so. I...
For information, here is the reply from the French - they do not recognise civil partnerships and they are not for giving visas to civil partners! I have protested about this in my best French! but I doubt if I will get anywhere. They are intransigent! Guess my partner will have to get the Dutch vis...
Thanks for this Stedman and yes it seems clear enough. I have however had some mixed opinions on this. If my civil partner applies for a Schenghen visa from one particular country, he will have to say he intends to go to that particular country (but as it is a partner visa, no flight tickets etc wil...
Still trying to get some reply out of French embassy on the question of visas for civil partners - but no replies. Any one had a luck? Does anyone know if we get a dutch schenghen visa - say for a 90 day period multiple entry - can we use that to enter France?
Has anyone had any recent information on France. I emailed the visa section at French Consulate in London a month ago but have no reply. Written again. Thanks
