Yeah, they resent the fact that Europe forces it to obey their laws. So there's always the possibilty that they refuse your visa, and then you have to take them to the European court. Many people are doing that with the UK especially. So, it's a stressful situation with some possible risk and pain. ...

Please, there are too many people speaking nonsense. What the 'Irish embassy have told you' there is false. Yes, you do need a tourist visa for your wife. But, it must be issued quickly, and without charge, under EU treaty rights. No, you cannot use a EEA family permit. That is a UK thing, only for ...

According to what I've been told, yes, she can come within the first 3 months, with no financial requirements, under EU freedom of movement rights for family members of EU citizens. I am just about to do this myself. So, I dont have successful experience in this. It's what I have been told. I too wo...

You must travel together with her. You will be granted a 3 month travel visa for Europe. EU freedom of movement guarantees this, as long as you can prove you are married. During the 3 months you must sort everything out, there, in Ireland. If you go to Ireland first, and wait 6 months, it will be mo...

I think if I tell you that "working tax credit" in the UK is an actual payment of money (not just a tax threshold like in ROI), you will see my logic.
If not, please explain why there is no logic in it. I usually have ideas with a lot of logic in them!

mmm,
But the "cross border worker" status can be had if you cross to work just some part of the week, I think.
So it could be possible to work half the week in NI, and the half the week in ROI.
What do you think about that?

Cross Border worker

Here's an interesting question: Can you operate your self employment business in NI (uk) (claiming working tax credit), and also satisfy the exercising of treaty rights, by living in ROI with your spouse? Would this type of "cross border worker" satisfy the requirements for an EEA family p...

I have to say, that I'm not too sure about what you have said about the habitual residence for UK citizens. Here is what the citizensinformation site says: 4. Consider whether the person has a right to reside in the State If you do not have a legal right of residence in this State, you will not be r...

Wow, Brigid! It's very complex!
What would you say about a person who is self-employed, transferring his business to Ireland, but the business is new and does not have a good enough income to live on? (He's from UK too).

UK JSA can only be transferred if it's contribution based. Income based cannot be transferred. The problem is: you said "unemployment benefit", but really, we need the exact name, because being turned down for one type, doesnt mean you will be turned down for another. In Ireland there are:...

Hello Brigid, I've read that because UK citizens live in the "Common Travel Area" they automatically have habitual residence for Ireland. (Unless they lived outside the CTA). Are you really sure that every Irish citizen and resident cannot claim Supplimentary Welfare Allowance in the first...

3 months is exercising EU treaty rights?

Hello! I'm in the same situation as many of you are. Do you know the answer to this question: Is a UK citizen exercising his treaty rights in the first 3 months of living in Ireland? Treaty rights mean: right to travel without a visa; right to the same benefits as the locals; right to bring family m...
