I (Irish citizen) will not have a job upon arrival but will have substantial savings from the sale of a property overseas.
Is there an acceptable limit that would provide us with entry, even though I wouldn't have job immediately, but could prove we have money to support ourselves?
Thanks..
The financial requirements are noted in the document that I provided above in Section 17 (17. Financial resources for family reunification (nuclear family and de facto partners).Gedk66 wrote:Both myself and our two children are Irish citizens and Passport holders. As I understand, there is a minimum financial requirement for me to fulfil to be able to bring my wife to Ireland. We have a decent amount of savings which will fund buying a house and starting a small business, once we are all in the state.
I just am a little uncertain of what would be an acceptable amount of cash savings to enable the move to Ireland.
Thanks for all your previous replies and please keep them coming.
You are a little mistaken about the UK and not everywhere in the UK has longer requirements for citizenship (depends which citizenship you would like her to have; see below).Gedk66 wrote:Thanks Chaoclive..
We would have tried the UK route but as I'm currently resident overseas in the Middle east and have been for the last 5 years, it's much more complicated. I would need to have a job and a financial threshold that well exceeds our possibilities. The waiting period for citizenship is much much longer in the UK and as we now have been away for so long, we're more interested to start somewhere new. Ireland offers much better chances for our long term future as a Family.
My wife is a Colombian and as such Visa required. We all want to travel to Ireland together and not spend months apart waiting for reunification. As we have substantial savings, I was hoping this might be an acceptable way to prove independency in regards of finances.
As for us finding work, I will start a small business and my wife will run and fitness and dance centre (eventually). In fact I think my wife will establish a good working situation almost immediately, due to the interest she's been shown through various contacts in Ireland.
Please keep advice coming as it's much needed and greatly appreciated...
Thanks.
