Thanks acme4242 - so no quick last minute trips over long weekends to the continent for the family then :) I suppose getting a visa wouldnt be such a hassle, but the fact that you have to go in person (and some of them need appointments like Spain) to Dublin during a working makes it a bit tricky lo...

Isle of Man (I have loved there for a while) - you don't need any visit visa if you are residing in the common economic area of Ireland, NI, Britain... so I can travel with just my STAMP4, there is no immigration at the airport as all flights are 'domestic'. The other places the entry clearance is t...

just refreshing this topic in case there is any updates - anyone ?
thanks

Hi CA.FUNKE, BEN, Directive/2004/38/EC et al... just to refresh : I am an Indian living with my Irish wife and Irish son in Ireland.

Indian citizen, been living in Ireland since 2008, currently on stamp4

thanks for both your replies. Can I ask a few more questions : - how do I get into the country (first entry) ? Do I apply for a tourist visa move there and after my wife registers herself- I apply for a resident permit (as it works with the UK EEA FP) - can I only start working after I get my reside...

...just a query in continuation : I am a non EEA national, living in Ireland with my Irish wife and Irish child. If I have a job offer from Holland - can I take up the offer if I move there with my wife and child together (and my EU wife chooses not to work) ?
Thanks

Hi - I am a non EU national, resident in Ireland with my Irish wife and Irish child. I have a potential job offer in Amsterdam.

Hi - thanks for ur reply... I have worked for them continuously for the past 27 months. I have 1 more week left working here, but they havent mentioned anything about redundancy yet (I dont think that they will), what are my next steps to claim this. Thanks so much for your help

Hi - any info anyone has on redundancy in ireland ? I am on a stamp 4 here and have been handed out a letter stating that due to cost cutbacks I will no longer be employed in another 2 weeks. Can I claim redundancy (Ihave been working for them a little over 2 years) ?

Thanks Christian for the prompt reply. I went through the whole lot that you (and others) posted here, the primary thing being "holding a residence card".. and even then most had had difficulties in getting entry to some EU countries. I apparently don't hold any EU residence card except fo...

What is the equivalent for Stamp 4 EUFAM for Irish residents? I am a non EU spouse of an Irish citizen and have a STAMP 4 which allows me to live and work in Ireland. Does it mean that I will have to apply for visas evrytime we want to visit any of the EU countries ? Thanks "Stamp 4 EUFAM"...

they didnt give it in our case, though we ticked the long term 'D' visa in the application form

Hi - I live in Ireland with my wife who holds Irish citizenship. I hold a non EU passport. I am unable to get my level of employment here in Ireland. I used to work in UK on a work permit earlier and I know that I can get better employment more suited to my work experience in UK. I was told that bei...
