If you are in Dublin u must go to the GNIB office. They will open the doors at 7:30am and will give you ticket. The visa officers will start work at 8:00am. So, if you queue up little bit before 7:00am, you will be seen by the visa officer before 9:00am but if you go late, it could take you few hou...

Hi Mystica

Congratulations!! I told you that you would receive it by this week.

Great really happy for you now.


Thank you for letting us know.

Hi Elizabeth Thank you for the reply. I have emailed them today and lets hope that they get back to me with the confirmation. You're welcome. I've heard of some people getting responses within 4 weeks again in the last day or two, so maybe the 6-8 weeks has been reduced again. Let us know what time...

Yes to both. You can apply for a Schengen visa and a UK EEA FP if you like. I don't think it's limited by the fact that you're on Stamp 4 as opposed to EU4FAM. I think your understanding is correct. Hi Chaoclive, Thanks for the confirmation, I was thinking that is the case. Just another query, do I...

Hi Sunshine86, Im also waiting for them to return the passports and docs that we submitted. We sent it last Feb. 14. I also emailed them asking if they received my documents but no reply yet. Hi Mystica I sent my documents on the 27th Feb and they received them the same day as per the courier confi...

Hi Elizabeth

Thank you for the reply. I have emailed them today and lets hope that they get back to me with the confirmation.

Hi Just a quick question here, can I travel to European countries like Poland or Spain on Stamp 4? I am aware that since this is not a EU4famStamp so I need to get a Shengen visa and also, an Irish Multiple Entry Visa. But with the Stamp 4 permission, can I still travel or do I need to wait for the ...

Hi CalvinKlein I sent my application via registered post and it was delivered the next day as per the anpost.ie confirmation. I was just wondering if they get back to you before 4 weeks just to confirm they have received it, you know as it has all the imprtant information. But if theres no other way...

Hi I have recently submitted my application for EU1 say almost 10days ago and I know that they will get back to me in 4 weeks time in regards to Stamp 4. But is there any way to confirm whether they have received my application or not? Do they send out any correspondence to say thankyou we have rece...

Hi Guys Thank you for your advice. Did I mention that my husband tentative start date for employment is 3rd March so can I still apply for the residence card? Or does it not make me eligible as he still has not started exercising his treaty rights? My original plan was to send the application with h...

Hi CalvinKlien Thank you for your help. My only concern re sending the application without the contract is that it will depreciate the purpose of the visa as its dependent on whether the EU national is exercising treaty rights or not? Therefore, are you saying that without sending the proof of exerc...

Hi I am a visa national, living here with my EU spouse. I have got everything ready to apply for residence card aprt from my husbands work contract. Hes actually secured a good position in Dublin however the company is running background checks which could mean to wait for another 10 days or so. Now...

The items required as per the directive are evidence of what the EU national is doing in the host member state and evidence of family relationship to the non-EU national. Thank you for the reply EUsmile, I was wondering whether I need to provide any thing in addition to the letter provided frm the ...

Hi Since we are living with our landlord, I guess there is no need for our landlord to register us with PRTB. So if we just have to provide a letter from landlord, it will say the dates and rent we pay. Is there any other important piece of information I need to submit along with this letter for RC ...

Hi I am trying to collect evidence for our residence for stamp 4 bt struggling with utility bills. Do you think if both, my husband and I got a mobile contract with O2 or 3, it will suffice the requirement for the utility bills on the same address? What else can I provide, so far I have PPS letters ...

The landlady may have moved back into the house because you are asking for documentation. It is likely that she is not registered with the PTRB and there is no need for her to register a tenancy if she lives in the house herself, so that is probably why she has moved back into the house. If she was...

I am having issues with collecting evidence fr our residence together for EU1 application, here is the situation- We live with our landlady( quite a nice friendly lady) and another three people in the house. Its a massive house. We dont have a lease since quite a few people are living in the house s...

End of Feb is when its expiring. I was thinking to rather apply for EU1 using the self sufficient route. Do you think if I did apply through self sufficient, would my brtish husband be able to travel while the application for me is under process? And how much money are we talking abt for this appli...

Can anyone please provide any suggestions for self sufficiency route? How much funds should be sufficed in the bank accounts for this route? Since this is a non economical route, which does not involve any activities exercised by the EU citizen, does this mean that an EU citizen could travel out of...

When is ur current visa due to expire ? Chaoclive, End of Feb is when its expiring. I have not applied for EU1 yet, as we might esp my british husband have to leave Ireland by the end of this or next month for 3-6 months. I was thinking to rather apply for EU1 using the self sufficient route. Do yo...

If your partner/spouse still meets the requirements you can apply again and you should be approved (IF you guys still meet the requirements， i.e. if he is still exercising treaty rights) Don't worry. Hi Chaoclive Would the only requirement to get the EU partner visa again, be that my partner is an ...
