I applied for a irish long stay visa but somehow my visa has been rejected with the reason " The applicant wishes to visit ireland for one year however she applied for a short stay c type visa" even though i applied for a long stay visa but on my VFS receipt the Vfs employee mentioned tou...

I applied to the UK for a Civil Partnership visa for a filipino national and this was also refused. I spoke to a lawyer after and she told me that they would not grant a visa as both of us are not living in the UK. I will try again next year to apply for a tourist visa for my friend to come to Irela...

I guess it would be the safer option.

The real question is what happens if you send all the documents to INIS as is stated on their website.

My Partner is a Filipino national non EU and has a visa for a civil partnership in the UK.

Is this a forced marriage ? Why do you want to come to Ireland ? Do you have a job or reason to want to be in Ireland ?

Hi, I am in a similar position . I tried the Immigrant Council and INIS for info on this and it is all very vague .I doubt if an Immigrant solicitor would be able to provide some clarity either . I do not like the idea of posting all the documents and passports as they suggest in option B ! I have a...

I am thinking of having a civil partnership with a visa required Filipino national. The new policy regarding family reunification has changed. I am living in Ireland but do not meet the financial requirements . I can have the ceremony in an approved country that is recognised by the Irish state. I c...

well, then its as simple as going to their offices in dublin - nobody can deny your access to a public office. and this will actually embarrass them I could end up by going with a placard and getting photos taken for a newspaper if this persists. I think they may have kept them to investigate me ?

The documents were sent to Dublin. This office I am dealing with directly as they issued the refusal letters.

I applied for a shot stay tourist visa. I sent copies of the original certs and stated I wanted them returned. The documents that were returned were not copied and I did not need them returned . I got the impression that the application was not even looked at properly. The refusal letter was signed ...

There is still no law to prevent a marriage/ceromony . The marriage register if they are suspicious can contact INIS ,the outcome is a grey area.
A divorce cert if married previously,apostle cert and passport are all that is required.

Hi, I made a visa application as a sponsor for a Filipino citizen . The visa and appeal were refused . The refusal letter disputed most of the information and documents sent. This was like an attack on my character as it suggested the application was false. I can put this behind me but for the fact ...

Check this link http://www.immigrationboards.com/ireland/dublin-airport-transit-question-t79416.html I am not sure how correct this is ?? What you are saying is that if you are not a transit visa required national you still require a visitor c visa to transit as you pass immigration. Dublin does not...

Hi, Thanks for the reply . There are English classes that qualify for student visas for 3 or 6 months . I doubt if social welfare would give a payment before a civil partnership was made . The more likely option is a stamp 3 visa for a period no work ,no welfare to prove the relationship. In the eve...

Hi, You do not give your wife's nationality .Where were you married, is the marriage recognised in Ireland. The amount of 1000 euro in the bank account is low . When you apply eg for a study visa for a non eu the required amount in the bank account should be minimum 7000 euro. I think if they wanted...

I am in a relationship with a Filipino national for more than 2 years. We are both not working. I have bank accounts more than 30 K and own my own house mortgage paid . The Irish embassy in the Philippines does not accept e mail or phone records as proof of a relationship . I can only show photo and...

I remember this case anyone know the result from the court.

Hi,
I was wondering how much do INIS check the documents for a tourist visa .There is an emphasis on the persons need to return to the home country if working or a student there. My friend that I want to sponsor has only registered for college .I am not sure if they would accept this.

Hi,
My wife is Russian and I am an Irish National.
Atkin.

Hi, The solicitor seems to think because we did not have sex that is the same as living apart ?I divorced 5 years ago and this was not the case before. The judge will not look in her favour even if she has 4 children as they are not mine.This is contrary to what a marriage councillor friend said ''s...

Hi, I wish to apply for an annulment .The grounds are that I was forced into marrying a non national against my better judgement so she could get residence ie I was told that she would not live with me unless I did .Then 6 months into the marriage she lost interest and then did not have sex with me....
