I understand he is working in Dubai. Do you both want to have a home base and be resident in Ireland, and he commutes from there to Dubai?

Hi matinuk2,
Thanks for joining this post.

I'm not sure what ILT is ... and if it's in the uk I would assume it's irrelevat to Ireland (?) I would think anyone with the permit to reside in one country does not have an automatic permit to reside in another country.

True. I don't want to live in Dubai and it's a job he did not want to turn down.
In between contracts he joins me in Israel.

in what shape/way/form should 'self sufficient' evidence be provided? bank statement? Employer's details?

[While resident, you each have the same rights as an Irish citizen.]

I'm not sure that's quite accurate. Citizens rights are more extensive than resident's rights. [/quote]

Hi benifa,
Thanks again for your prompt reply.

In other words, as long as my husband is working overseas we cannot reside in Ireland?

Admittedly, I'm still uncertain regarding my rights as non EU spouse of EU national. It appears that my previous post is deficient and I hope to fill in the gaps as to further questions that hamper my understanding on treaty rights and regulations. The situation being thus: My husband (UK national) ...

Hi all,

Sorry for delay in reply.

I want to thank you all for your kind, helpful and prompt replies.
It's been reassuring to receive your useful advice.
