Also, health insurance is mandatory for all who are resident in the Netherlands. You need Statutory Basic Healthcare Insurance for which you need a Citizens Service Number. Your British partner will be able to obtain a Citizens Service Number immediately. He should do this and obtain Statutory Basic...

The amount of tuition fee a student pays is based on: [...] 2. If you are married to or if you have a ‘civil partnership’ registration with an EU/EEA/Swiss national you are generally entitled to the home fee as well. [...] They are right that these people are entitled to home fees. But also all...

Update on my question about college fees. I received an email from Leiden University in regards to this questions, and the following is their response: [quote]Due to European Union (EU) regulations, qualified students from the EU and European Economic Area (EEA) are entitled to pay the same tuition ...

Yes Ben, I understood she has no legal right for the Stamp 4. However they would probably give one if we had applied, gotten it back and went to the Gardai tomorrow as this is their current procedure as stated before on the website. I'm just asking for practicalities: Would the Gardai grant Stamp 3...

Well, lets hope so. How long will that take. There have to be many families that will be affected by this. Who makes these law changes in Ireland? Are they really that incompetent? I just don't get it.

What this is about is buying time. It will take time for this to be brought to and run through the EU court. This means, until such time, Ireland will get away with this and more Irish people will be able to find employment. It's a load of shite. I doubt it's going to make a dent in unemployment. Th...

Let me guess :idea: He is from Pakistan May be your case was genuine BUT its not the Law that's wrong instead its the people who misuse it. Or should I say track record of people from certain countries put there their fellow countrymen under the scanner. Facts from DoJ can't be wrong, can they ? ht...

THE GOVERNMENT is removing the right to work for non-EU family members of EU citizens while they await a decision on their right to residency in Ireland. This first sentence says it all. The application isn't for the right to reside, that is given through the EU national partner. The application is...

[quote="sovtek"]“There is no requirement that the right to work be given to non EEA family members while they are awaiting a decision on their application,â€

However, as pointed out by thesmiler, it needs to be established whether the DoJ are forcing temporary Stamp 3 on family members, or merely inviting them to opt for it voluntarily. Even if it is voluntary, by not issuing a stamp 4, they are essentially prohibiting the partner of an EU national the ...

Ben - what I don't understand. You keep saying it is against the law (at least for spouses) because they put a stamp in your passport giving you stamp 3 which means you can't work. You say they would be perfectly ok giving you no stamp, because you have the right to stay and work anyway, even witho...

Yes, they are most definitely incompetent. I first entered Ireland on a stamp 1A (trainee accountant). When I arrived at the airport and stated that is why I was entering the country, the immigration officer there called me a lire, making some comment about bringing in foreign nationals to take thes...

Johnkenn wrote:But even if i get stamp 3. How long will i be on stamp 3?

The stamp would be fore 6 months. They are required by EU law to issue you with a decision within 6 months. I know this isn't always the case, but that's something to worry about when the time nears. Best of luck

But i my application was sent before the June 1st date they said. Did i still fall under the group of STAMP 3 OR STAMP 4? Willo the stamp 3 before for six month and after that what will be next? Technically, no one should fall into that group. However, as Ireland is going to insist on this, you sho...

Please be advised that with effect from 1 June 2010, the permission to remain which may be given to applicants who are in the State on the basis of a pending application for EU Treaty Rights will be a Stamp 3. This stamp will allow the applicant to remain in Ireland on conditions that the holder do...

Hi Guys,,I jst saw this shocking information on the INIS website..Can they do this under EU Law?? Please be advised that with effect from 1 June 2010, the permission to remain which may be given to applicants who are in the State on the basis of a pending application for EU Treaty Rights will be a ...

I'm really confused as I thought as long as you were employed, even self-employed, that there are no income requirements, but the IND website provides different information. Here is what I am looking at on the IND website: The following purposes of residence are regarded residence based on the EC Tr...

Are you planning to apply as if your partner was self sufficient, or are you going to say that your partner is self employeed? She is self-employed, but we may or may not have many documents to prove that. They are waiting to see if some funding will come through before registering their company. H...

My partner is Dutch, so we could enter and apply for a residence permit based on national law, or as she has been exercising her treaty rights in Ireland, we could apply for a residence permit based on EU law. Or, will it automatically be EU law since she has been exercising her treaty rights? Chee...

You have to be in the Netherlands to apply. It does not matter where you are living - with inlaws, in a hotel, in a tent are all fine. How long does it take via the EU route ? I believe going the national route it takes about 2 months, but I'm not sure. I'm still waiting to find out whether or not ...

Thanks everyone. I finally got word back from the uni I have applied to. They said that I have to have a residence permit by September in order to qualify for home fees. Just a few more questions: Can you apply for the permit before travelling to NL, or must you travel there and then apply? We would...

Dear kabuki, Thank you again for all your information. My partner have never been Into the UK/EU just when she was 1-3 years old and then she left the UK. As we don't have an Address in the UK before. Do you think this should be a problem with our application. It shouldn't, but I wouldn't really kn...

If you are married to or if you are the (registered) partner of a citizens of the European Union you do not need to apply for an MVV. You can travel to the Netherlands together with your partner. This also applies to a number of other family members. For more information, please go to ‘Family mem...

The time will be dependent on your situation. Most people I know have said it takes 6-12 months. I don't have first hand experience as I have no plans to move back to the US with my partner. As someone else said, you don't need a lawyer, but if things can possibly be complicated, then it's usually t...

The website you have provides quite a bit of info, but you have to know where to look. First, you must select "I want to come to the Netherlands" Followed by the following: For how long would you like to come to the Netherlands? Longer than 3 months Which nationality does the person have? ...
