Hi John,

You should have time, as the visa should be issued within a week.

That said, if you fly with Aer Lingus and check-in online or by using one of the self check-in machines in DUB, your wife will very likely not be refused boarding.

1. How long would I get a Stamp 4 based on my wife's Irish Citizenship - 3 Year / 5 Year?. I am now stamp 4 based on my Child's Irish Citizenship. That seems entirely dependant on the GNIB officer who issues your Stamp 4 card. Some issue it for 5 years, some for 1. Apparently it's down to who he is...

Has your spouse, as an Irish citizen, ever pursued economic activity in an EEA state other than Ireland?

Stamp 4 EUFam is for family members of EEA nationals. From what you have said, you don't appear to qualify for this.

There's an office where you can go and vent about the Gardaí? ben, where is the office pls I thought you were going to tell me? i dont know the office I've seen a lot of people venting at the Gardaí in the Public Office here in Waterford. That's usually because they won't sign their motor tax forms...

ben,

I thought you were going to tell me?

"Stamp 4 EUFam" is on your GNIB card, and will be on subsequent GNIB cards once you have acquired the right of permanent residence, simply because you are resident in Ireland in accordance with the EEA regs.

Keloid, are you resident in Ireland in conformity with EU law? If you are, your wife is entitled to live with you in Ireland for as long as you do. Ben, at the moment I am not in conformity with EU law, the reason being that I am not yet unemployed. That said I am mulling over an employment contrac...

Ah, there we go then. Apologies OP.

I *believe* that the divorce would be recognised legally in Ireland, so long as it is recognised legally in the country of issuance. I.E., it is in fact a legal divorce and not just a religious divorce.

Only for the illegal ones.

To be clear, the Irish visa to be applied for is an EUTR visa. Making this clear in the application lessens the chances of unnecessary documents being requested.

Because visa or no visa, entry can't be refused of you can prove your nationality and relationship at the port of entry. But both the UK and Ireland (and other states) would prefer a pre-issued visa. If you can convince Brazil airport staff that your wife won't be sent back at the border, happy days...

Hi Alberto, There is no difference between Ireland and the UK, in this regard. Should you and your wife present yourselves at either border, admittance should be granted in accordance with EC law (save for some rare exceptions). Your real problem, or should I say your wife's real problem, is boardin...

Hi Andy. There's no NHS in Ireland, or equivalent. In a nutshell, everyone has to pay for the healthcare they need. For example, every visit to the GP is usually at least €50. As for prescriptions, you have to pay for for the actual cost of the drugs, as opposed to a nominal "prescription fee&q...

Honestly, just don't fly Ryanair and you'll be worry free. Ben, when you say 'worry free', do you mean that he can get away with taking his non-EU spouse into the UK (with, say, flybmi) with just GNIB card? Do you have experience in doing this yourself? Not with just a GNIB card. A valid passport w...

Hi M999, Using your numbering.. 1. Yes. Doesn't make a difference (ferry or plane). 2. Yes. What you will be applying for is a "residence card of a family member of a Union citizen", known in Ireland as "Stamp 4 EUFam", using form EU1. 3. Yes. 4. UK airports, like Irish airports,...

Anything that's not relevant or not required under the Directive can be ignored / left blank. Your British citizen child does not need an entry visa for Ireland.

For the purpose of a visit, yes. For employment (including self-employment or freelance), permission is required. OP, this query doesn't come up here too often. I suggest you contact the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation . Yes permission is required and this ideally should be arranged p...

Hi, Can anyone point me in the direction of what visa(if any) I would require as a Wedding Photographer doing a wedding in Ireland for one weekend? Is this just the standard business visa? I'm an australian citizen, currently residing in england. cheers. If it's for you, you don't need a visa as Au...

Solvit, on the basis that the Irish authorities have endorsed your wife's passport with a stamp that causes to strip her of her right to work. However, practically speaking, you've been promised temporary stamp 4 next week, so by the time the Solvit case is opened it will be closed again. Do you th...
