A non-EU spouse needs a visa to enter the State where the spouse has no Residence Card. There are three options here as I see it. i) Have the spouse apply for a visit visa and then once both are in Ireland, apply for EU Treaty Rights or ii) to have the UK CItizen husband move to Ireland and have the...

I am not sure but there should be an authority / department who can validate the foreign divorce. I would say divorce & family law is very poorly described in irish law. If you need advice you should contact FLAC or AIM legal services. Your divorce won't be recognised under Irish law as it is. ...

I realise that. It's clear that it is not legal nor is it the correct way to go about it but in this context I don't think it's a big deal. However, that's just my opinion and on that, we'll have to agree to disagree.

If it's for you, you don't need a visa as Australian citizens are not visa required in Ireland. For the purpose of a visit, yes. For employment (including self-employment or freelance), permission is required. OP, this query doesn't come up here too often. I suggest you contact the Department of Jo...

Solvit, on the basis that the Irish authorities have endorsed your wife's passport with a stamp that causes to strip her of her right to work. However, practically speaking, you've been promised temporary stamp 4 next week, so by the time the Solvit case is opened it will be closed again. Do you th...

I dont think the above statement is correct. If the person was employed and then made redundant or they quit their work to engage in vicational activity related to their previous employment, then they still qualify as worker during their period of unemployment and cannot be considered as living in ...

Well, we'll be here at least until December 2012 before we consider our options again. Just the visits to the UK I was thinking about. Honestly, just don't fly Ryanair and you'll be worry free.

i think the best is wait for another 1 months .also make sure check the residence stamps in residence calcultar That would only work if the "missing days" were 12 months ago. And then I wouldn't bother posting the question if we just had to wait another month. The missing days were in the...

1. You can't comment on what the Member States did and did not intend when they decided to enact Directive 2004 /38 EC. This is because, as the Courts themselves consistently point out, the minutes and preparation documents are not published. Even the Courts don't pretend that they can or do. The i...
