Hi there, I see you found moving to Cork worked well for you. I plan on doing the same and would like to pick your brains about it, if I may. Please PM me; I don't seem to be able to PM you due to not having posted enough. Sorry about that! But the questions I would like to ask are not strictly immigration related but more to do with jobs and housing.tastylentils wrote:Good luck with your move. I'm in a similar position to you. British with a Chinese wife. I was originally going to Dublin but after looking at accommodation costs settled on Cork instead. Been here a month and found getting a place to rent and a job much easier than I thought.
Thing I regret when I came here first was I failed to bring all necessary documents with me to open a bank account before I got a place. Just two proofs of address back are needed which can be a utiility bill (not mobile phone) or correspondence from two different banks. Sounds minor, but it's a real pain not having a bank account.
Also watch out for information on pps number that you need. Most of the information online states just go to the welfare office with a letter from your landlord and proof of address. It's wrong, outdated information. They changed the system so you just apply for jobs like normal, and when you start work take your contract or job offer letter down to welfare office and they'll send the pps in the post. Surprisingly nobody on this board knew anything about these changes.
We're at the stage of gathering documents so we can submit the short stay visa application. The process does seem a bit bewildering at times and sometimes it's pretty hit and miss getting answers to the questions you think are important. I'll keep an eye out for your posts and if I can answer I'd happy to help you out.
Once again good luck

In Pakistan it's only consulate do you think they will take more time to issue visa if its consulate and the visa will be short stay visa if I am correct. Once we arrive to Ireland what do we do after, how do we get to stay permenant.
I have an idea but not sure if i can do this,
i was thinking to get all relevant documents of my wife which is required for visa and apply in ireland for short stay visa and then go back and take her passport with me to bring her here.
I am not sure if this is allowed.
Kindly let me know
Thanks again I hope to have your reply and get some guidence.

If the embassy is taking more than 4 weeks to issue the short stay c visa, what would you advise?
