Hi Jeupsy, Thanks for answering our questions :) I hear what you're saying about the self sufficiency route, we will e-mail the EUTR section for further clarification and see how things work out on the job front when we arrive in Dublin. We appreciate the advice. You're correct, we are not married. ...
Many Thanks Jeupsy I have a few further questions if that's ok :) 1) Eventually we will move to the UK using the Surrinder Singh route. Initially though we will apply for the residence card on the grounds that my EU partner is Residing with sufficient resources. We do understand that before applying...
Hello there, I just wanted to update the forum on my recent visa application. I applied for a 'Accompany EU Citizen Partner visa' on the 5th of September 2013 at the Irish Consulate in Bangkok. The visa was granted on the 16th of September and we picked up the passport on the 17th of September. The ...
Hi guys, Thanks again for all the help! I am still awaiting a response from the visa team. I went to the consulate today to submit all supporting documents and just paid a very small communication fee. They said that the Embassy is still awaiting a response from the INIS and that if there is a charg...
Thanks for the replies everyone :) Thanks Jeupsy - The local consulate forwarded the E-mail to the Embassy that will process the application, so I am awaiting their response. A couple of questions if you guys don't mind: The consulate, who will forward the application to an overseas Embassy, say I o...
Thanks Dalebut, I e-mailed the EUTR department at the INIS and they replied within 5 minutes. Their e-mail: Dear XXXXXX, There is no fee for EU Treaty Rights applications regardless of the type of relationship. Best regards, XXXXXXX EU Treaty Rights Section Irish Naturalisation & Immigration Ser...
Hi Dalebutt, Many thanks, this is what I thought. The problem is they are very adamant, and if I can't prove this to them, and don't pay, I can't continue the application. Even when i quote Article 2 (2) (Definitions) from the EU Directive: 2) "Family member" means: (a) the spouse; (b) the...
Hi There, I have now submitted the online application and contacted our local consulate to arrange dropping off the supporting documents. They are saying that we have to pay for the application because we are unmarried partners, and stated that it is only free of charge for married partners. Is this...
Hello again, I am about to submit the online application and post the supporting documents. I have a quick question regarding accommodation for the online application. Is it ok to use a Hotel address? We will find a place to rent after arriving. Does the hotel need to be booked? The website states n...
I was hoping that would be the case, I was only a little worried due to some of the experiences regarding long processing times I have read about here.
Maybe I will enclose a note with the application to say that I can travel after the dates on the form if necessary.
Many thanks for the reply jeupsy, very helpful advice :) I am wondering what happens when an application is processed after the travel dates you have put down on the application form (the 3 month period) e.g. If I put down on the application form that we intended to travel to Ireland in 6 weeks time...
Dear sierra, Congrats! Do you mind me asking which Irish embassy processed your 'ACC Spouse Visa'? I have been trying to establish an idea of processing times. Also, the online application form only has the option for 'Join EU spouse' Is this what you selected? Do you select single entry and short-t...
Hi, Great forums! I am currently living in Bangkok with my Non-EEA national girlfriend. I am a dual EEA national (British/Swiss) and would like to move to Ireland to exercise my treaty rights based on my British citizenship. I have have a few questions and would be very grateful to anyone kind enoug...
