I am a German citizen, my wife is Argentinian. We are currently living in Ireland but considering moving to the UK next year. One major obstacle would be the waiting time for an EEA2 permit, which, as I understand the threads in this forum, currently tends to exceed the 6 months limit stipulated by ...

Re: I have just moved

Send a letter to the address where you sent your application, indicating your reference number (find it in their acknowledgement letter) and your new address. If you want to be sure they get the letter, send it by registered post or throw it into their letter box in person. That should be all you ne...

Re: Child of British Citizen born in Ireland

The website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_nationality_law sums it up quite concisely (although we all know that you should not take anything Wikipedia says for granted without checking the sources cited). In your case, since you are a British citizen, a child of yours born on the island of Irel...

Re: Moving to Ireland in September

When entering on your British passport, you can go through the EU queue, and they will most likely let you in without asking any questions. In case they do ask, say that you will be looking for work. The only thing you cannot do is apply for welfare payments; otherwise you should be just fine.

Re: German Family Reunion Visa and question regarding WP

According to Directive 2004/38/EC, family members of EU citizens exercising treaty rights have the same rights as the EU citizen. Therefore, if you currently need a work permit to work in Germany, so will your Indian spouse. On the other hand, the document http://www.arbeitsagentur.de/zentraler-Cont...

Re: EU non national married to NZ/UK national denied visa in

Thankfully, Ireland's interpretation of EU rules has changed for the better. As a US citizen you don't need a visa to enter Ireland, so all you have to do is enter the country, file a EU1 application ( http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/FormEU1.pdf/Files/FormEU1.pdf ) with all supportive documents requi...
