How long has the Polish mother been resident in Ireland for?

How do you know the OP is a man?

yes u r right but how much is sufficient fund?? I don't know. It doesn't say. I think in that case one should follow http://www.welfare.ie/EN/Publications/SW22/Pages/2HowdoIqualify.aspx but even then we don't know the clear answer!!! Well no, because you're assuming that application for a visa as t...

I don't know. It doesn't say.

Definition of a qualifying sponsor: A qualifying sponsor is a non-EEA national: He/she must be in full time employment on the date of application and have an income above the threshold which would qualify the family for payment under the Family Income Supplement (FIS) Scheme administered by the Dep...

A pittance? (Going slightly off topic) I have to strongly disagree that Rent Supplement is "a pittance." It is HUGE. If I was entitled to Rent Supplement, which I am not because neither me nor my husband are in receipt of any social welfare benefits, we would be able to rent a nice 2 bedr...

Go on the ferry, via Northern Ireland (to be safer).

Once in Ireland he can apply for a replacement passport from the Pakistani embassy in Dublin.

Yes that's fine. For the first three months following your entry to Ireland, your right of residence is unconditional. Your spouse is entitled to join you. All that needs to be submitted by your spouse in order to receive the EUTR visa to which he is entitled, is his passport, your passport (or copy...

Then why is it her mother's decision as to whether her father is named on her birth certificate?

I meet all of the requirements for issuing an EEA family permit, as exhaustively listed in Regulation 12 of the European Regulations. No other Regulation is relevant to the issue of EEA Family Permits, except the mentioned Regulation 12 . Small error here. No, I think Directive intended to write Re...

So.. it's a marriage of convenience?

No. For up to three months your (and his) right of residence is unconditional. After that, and providing you're working, he can apply for a residence card using form EU1.

Driving over is more beneficial as you are unlikely to meet an immigration officer on arrival in Ireland.

If flying, check-in online to avoid having to meet with airport check-in staff on departure from Britain. Ryanair is not an option.

If obtaining an Irish EUTR, all of the above is irrelevant.

Will you be bringing a car over or flying?

Due to the economic conditions some new regulations are put into place so as to reduce the burden on the budgetary deficits. I haven't read much into it but I guess now you actually need a proof of employment before sponsoring your family. Something like a employment offer letter or a contract prov...

Nope, that's not true. The Irish used to think it was true, but they were wrong and in any case it was clarified in the ECJ ruling in the case of Metock.

More importantly, what do you intend to do when you live in Ireland?

Hello, You can move to Ireland together, so long as, after the initial three months of arrival, you either work, become self-employed, engage in a course of study or have sufficient funds for you both to live on. In any case, your husband can apply for an EUTR visa from the Irish embassy in London. ...

Hi Erik, So long as you have been residing in Ireland while exercising a treaty right for at least five years, and your wife has been residing with you for this time, then you both have acquired the right of permanent residence in Ireland. Congratulations. While not mandatory for either of you, you ...

...but conditional to this is holding an onward ticket... Ok, I'd misread this. Basically we are in agreement, then. It depends on the country of entry. Indeed. In the part you just quoted, I was referring to the UK more so than to every country of the world. IOs need to be satisfied that the passe...

No, I didn't say that nor is it correct.

That your previous post appeared to be a little inaccurate.

My apologies. Could you point out the inaccuracies?

But IATA / Timatic doesn't say this - so airlines don't know it or want to believe it if told. Consequently, the airline is unlikely to want to permit travel for fear of being fined. Ben, please read the post above (I cut and paste what Timatic says for a hypothetical US citizen for various countri...

Any statistics to back this up or it just an assertion.

Just a widely known fact. Ask any West African person in Ireland. Chances are they know someone whose residence derives from IBC. Open a new thread if you want to discuss it further.
