Type C EUTR visa. wow Ben, you're lightening fast. unfortunately i couldn't find anything that resembles EUTR Visa on the online visa application form: https://www.visas.inis.gov.ie/AVATS/VisaTypeDetails.aspx (btw what does EUTR mean? Treat Rights ?) the first option is - Type : Short Stay "C&...

what visa does the non-EU spouse have to "enter" on ? Visit type C or D or anything else ?

But would Eco not ask why the hell you are applying spouse visa again and why on earth you got 2 years visa but declined to live in UK. UK_Banned_Member As long as my reasons for settling in the UK are genuine, I should be able to prove it. I'm sure there have to be people who have tried to take up...

I guess that settles it !

Thank you all so much.

If anyone does have any experience regarding any scrutiny faced in a similar situation, i would be much obliged if they could share it.

Until then, we'll apply on the confidence given by the senior members here.

Your comments have certainly confused people and I for one still have no idea what yoyu are talking about. Can you ask in plain english please what you inquiry is and maybe then when some of us understand it can respond to it :roll: :oops: Simply put - Will my wife be refused a settlement or visit ...

I think i'm being a complete dud and confusing settlement visa (spouse visa) with ILR.

I'm back to square one now.

Are the steps taken against people who are granted ILR (and don't stay), the same for settlement visas ?

I sincerely apologies if my confusion is confusing everyone else.

Thank You All for pitching in with advice. I found this on the lifeintheuk.net site, and it's made me think twice about applying for settlement visa. Like i mentioned earlier, the only reason i preferred not to apply for visit visa first, was due to the costs involved (double the air tickets, visa c...

I think the OP concern is that if they went abroad for a while after obtaining entry via settlement visa, his wife would not subsequently satisfy the ILR criteria. Would they have to keep requesting FLR (if allowed) or re-apply in the future? That's what i'm trying to get at. I don't want the ECO t...

I would never adive visit visa if you are married. So in my view apply for spouse visa instead of visit visa. Simple is that UK_Banned_Member Even if we return in a couple of months ? You don't think my wife will face consequences later on ? If your concern is that we take up residence on a visit v...

Visitors may not switch to spouse status from within the UK.[/quote] Thanks Vinny, but that's not what i meant. Sorry if i was not clear. We were wondering if we should simply apply straight away for a settlement visa, go to the UK, try to get settled there. Worst case scenario, we don't get accust...

Dear All, I am a British Citizen currently residing in Sri-Lanka. My wife (non-EU) and I are seriously contemplating the option of settling in the UK. We would like to go to the UK initially to get "a feel of things", for a few months atleast, and if positive, stay on indefinitely. My ques...

I'll apply this week and report back to the forum regardless of the outcome.

Thanks for your help.

I'd appreciate it if you would continue to advise me on any new developments.

Ado

Thanks for the info Acme4242. Don't know how i missed all those posts after scanning through the entire Ireland section. It's not just the Irish who don't have their act together. My brother (with British wife) applied for a Schengen Visa at the Dutch Embassy in Colombo, even after acknowledging the...

Dear All, I am a British Citizen, living with my Pakistani wife in Sri-Lanka. We would like to visit Dublin in the summer and wanted to know the easiest way to apply for a 90 day visit visa. As an EU National, is my spouse entitled to any preferred visa privileges ? Also - The online application sit...

Ado, do you or not intend on pursuing an economic activity when in Ireland? In short, with the advice posted here, i was planning to leave for the Republic of Ireland with my wife, exercise my treaty rights (work temporarily), and then apply for a EEA Family permit and enter the UK (N.Ireland or Br...

I think the best bet is to get a visa for Northern Ireland and give birth there. I wasn't aware i could apply for just a Northern Ireland Visa. Who issues it ? The Brit Consulate or Irish ? I always thought the only way to legally get into N. Ireland was with a UK visa. Btw, i have no intention of ...

Is there a minimum requirement for how long i should have been working for before applying for visa or EEA family permit ?

Getting a UK visa for my wife is proving to be arduous. The consulate says 8-12 weeks. By that time it's not advisable to fly.
Rep. of Ireland is the next best thing.

Possibly Pakistani as well, but you might not want to claim that.

I'm going through all this trouble mainly to avoid the Pakistani link !

I guess i was wrong !! Thanks for the heads-up. ukvisas.gov.uk says : I am a British citizen. Can my family members apply for an EEA family permit to join me in the UK? Although the UK is also a member of the EEA, the information in this guidance does not, in general, relate to British citizens and ...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i was under the impression that since i'm British myself, my wife would not be entitled to a British visa through EEA family permit, regardless of where i live and work.

Appreciate the responses but now i'm confused. From the link posted by Sue : A child born in the island of Ireland on or after 1 January 2005 is entitled to Irish citizenship if they have a British parent or a parent who is entitled to live in Northern Ireland or the Irish State without restriction ...

Thanks for your prompt reply John. Your question - how long have we lived in UK & why Ireland. Answer - We have NEVER lived in UK, hence not entitled to NHS. Private maternity costs in Ireland are comparitively less than the UK. Also, its ironic, but applying for an Irish visa for my wife (as sp...

Hi All, I'm a British Citizen [ BY DECENT ] living in Sri-Lanka and my wife is Pakistani. Neither of us have ever resided in the EU, not even the UK. If we have a child in Ireland, what would its nationality be ? I understand that since 2005, children of a non-Irish parents and residents cannot appl...

I've searched the NHS website as well as other official ones, couldn't find anything to help me with. I don't have any family in the UK anymore. Why, does that help in anyway ? I'll pay if i have to. Its an investment for my future kid, but i hear it can cost from anywhere between 5,000 to 10,000 St...
