Thanks for that- nice to know we have the option.

Thanks for that. Just a bit worried that the Irish government might retract her citizenship if we're living in the UK for any length of time.

Hi, friendly forum folk. My wife and I have been living in Ireland for eight years now. She's Korean, I'm Scottish, and she's had residency under the Eu Treaty regulations for long enough to qualify for naturalisation. My question is this: Supposing she gets citizenship, then we want to relocate to,...

Hi all, last week we submitted our EU1 form, but we accidentaly left out our passport photo ID. Can we get in touch with them to forward the photos, or are they just going to send the whole application back?

Hi again. Just an update to this, as we received a letter today turning down our EU3 application and a notice that,as her visa has now expired, she has 15 days to lodge an appeal. Thing is, I'm just in the process of registering myself as self employed (as part of the goverment Business start up sch...

Do you have any Irish citizen children? If yes, your wife can apply on the basis of being the mother of an Irish citizen child. Are you on benefit or assistance? Is it unemployment or illness based? Can you switch to the form of benefit/assistance that is available to those who are self employed wi...

You would need to prove that you have been resident on a self sufficient status, ie.had private health insurance since the time you were unemployed That's the problem. Don't have any of that. I'm currently trying to find any job, however the letter we received required that I prove our eligibility ...

Haven't appealed yet. I think it's probably best that I step up my efforts to find job, although at 52 years old and in the current economy, it's easier said than done.

Just been reading through the letter we received, and it appears that since I took voluntary redundancy, our EU treaty rights are invalidated, so they could kick my wife out any time unless I can prove I was somehow eligible since 2009.

Hello everyone. I'm hoping some kind person can maybe give me some advice. I'm Scottish and I arrived in Dublin with my then fiance (South Korean) back in late 2006. We married in 2007 and as I was working we were able to apply for Eu treaty rights. My wifes's card will expire this year, so we appli...

Wow, thanks so much for all the replies. I think we'll go for the EEA2 option, as it will be less of a drain on our finances upfront. (we'll have about €6000 when we're ready to move). As some of you probably already know, the fee for a spouse Visa (applying from UK Embassy Dublin) is approx €80...

First of all, sorry if there's an answer to this particular question elsewhere. I'm a UK citizen, living in Ireland with my wife, who's South Korean (we were married in February this year). 2 months ago, the Irish immigration Dept granted her EU treaty rights, so she's now able to live and work here...

Moved to family immigration section.
