My hubby has recently found a friend from his home country is living up North and he'd love to go up and visit him for a weekend.
Hubby has stamp 4 residency.
Does he need a visa to cross the border? Or can he just head up? Any ideas?

Hi, Myself and my husband were thinking of moving to France to look for work. I am an Irish Citizen and my husband has stamp 4 residency in Ireland. He also holds permanent residency in Spain so he should be able to enter France under Shengen (please correct me if I'm wrong) We have no clue where to...

Can someone explain Stamp 1 to me or provide a link to a clear explanation?

Thanks

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone had any experience of applying for a single trip visa through the embassy in Morocco? For instance waiting times for them to review your application. I only have experience with Madrid and found them to be very slow, they just didn't want to send on my application. T...

Thanks mauritania for your reply. Do you mind if i ask why you were turned down? also it seems to take ages to get a decision. Why were you given stamp 3 and the De Facto. Thanks Turned down on the basis that my partner holds permanent residency in another European Union country so my daughter woul...

I don't know anything about asylum seeking but for Zambrano you need the following: A colour copy of the bio-data page of the Irish born citizen child's passport, The Irish born citizen child's original Birth certificate - a copy is not acceptable, A colour copy of the bio-data page of the applicant...

Thanks guys, finally got someone who can read in the Visa section to reply and they have said it is fine to send a letter explaining about previous passport and ministers letter. So I printed off their email, done up the letter and sent it all back to them. Fingers crossed this time! Why would they ...

Hi everyone, My partner was granted his residency in January this year. He needs to go collect a certificate for a course he completed last year so we applied for a re-entry visa by post as we live outside of Dublin. We sent the application form, 2 passport photos, postal order of the fee, passport ...

On ours it was that my partner held Spanish Residency so our child would never have to leave the union basically. Not surprised that the Government would try that angle. It is perfectly arguable too in light of the specific facts and reasoning in Zambrano and the difference of attitudes in Dercei (...

Irishmigrant, have you not received any correspondence since the 1st of June? We did receive an acknowledgement letter and a few other letters since then up until we received decision. Have you contacted a solicitor? I would be inclined too if you are being ignored.

Didn't get approval but took approx 6.5 months to receive decision. And applied in Ireland.

We were lucky received in a week We only got stamp 3 but this is ok for time being!

Thanks for the reply!

God, three weeks is great. Hopefully we are as lucky lol!

Just a quick question for any one who has applied for De Facto, what stamp do you receive and how long was processing time from start to finish?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for replying. Yes he has considered applying for Spanish Citizenship and he would be the first to admit he was a fool not to do it when he was in full time employment. Unfortunately the company he worked for went bust and he was made redundant, he hasn't had full time employment since. His fr...

Ok back again, my partner has permanent residency in Spain, he has been there over 10 years. The exercising treaty rights has me quite confused. By just going to Spain is that exercising or would I need to be there for any amount of time? At the moment, it's really out of the question but no harm in...

Sorry on my mobile at the minute. I'll get the laptop in a few moments and reply to all your posts then Walrus, thanks

You are correct, he is only a resident of Spain. He holds no citizenship in any EU countries. I can not at the present time go and live in Spain. Without going into too much detail, I suffered a lot of post birth complications with my daughter and some of which I still suffer with today. We currentl...

He is not my husband by law, he is by muslim religion but we have not had this authorised or received a certificate as of yet. We did not include this in our application because all we had was a piece of paper that was handwritten. (We were married in July 2010) He has contacted his family in his ho...

Thanks fatty patty, I was looking at it from the point that in Dereci they were not young children, I'm not too well informed on it but I think they are all over 21 in Dereci?

Am waiting to hear back from the solicitor to decide what option we will take.

Thanks IQU, we have a solicitor through the Immigrant Council since June this year. They are a fantastic organization and I strongly urge anyone with immigration issues to contact them. At the moment our case is being forwarded to council for consideration. We also have a couple of more options whic...

Oh yes we will be taking it up. I am an Irish Citizen, my child is an Irish Citizen. Adlexy I took the same from the ruling as you. Both me and my father took from the letter that they would rather us all in Spain too. Can you imagine even trying to get him a visitor visa considering he has over sta...
