They wont ask u about stamps, but rather than cheating the system always go fair, i believe this forum is to help people but offcourse not to those who are clearly trying to abuse it.ghulammemon198 wrote:Hello,
I was approved to obtain STAMP4EUFAM in April 2015 for 5 years, though I only received 1 year GNIB Card and STAMP on my passport, as my passport was expiring in 2016. I am currently in Bulgaria with my wife & kid and will probably stay here until next year and planning to return back to live in Ireland permanently. My wife is still exercising her rights in Ireland, even she is here. I know technically she is not exercising her rights but. There is no entry and exit stamps on EU passport to identify if she entered or left the country. She is registered as Self-Employed and can work from anywhere. Her tax returns due date is Oct 2016. Income and bonuses are transferred to local Irish Bank. I already applied for new passport from UK and returned back to Bulgaria with my old passport. My wife collected my new passport from Pakistan High Commission UK few weeks later after applying it. So I don't have any stamps or visa in my new passport. I just want to ask if I will face any problems in Dublin Airport regarding Irish Stamp? GNIB immigration officer can ask me where is the stamp, OK. You have your STAMP4EUFAM Card but where is the Stamp. I am planning to him/her that the stamp was in my old passport. This is my new passport and I don't have old passport at the moment. Second, I am also thinking to take NON- EU Border Control Lane. If they ask me where is your wife. I can say she is in EU Passport Lane and probably she is in baggage area because I believe she will cross the passport control earlier than me. I am also planning to tell them if they ask. I was on my holidays and travelled to Bulgaria 2 weeks ago and came back now. Off course, I will use new passport and there is no stamp to identify if I traveled 2 weeks ago or an year ago. I will appreciate if someone can support my planning or give some additional advise.

This old stamp has no influence about your right to enter Ireland.
Thanks Obie. She will take EU passport lane and I will take Non-EU. I observed in this forum that many individuals encountered problems by taking EU passport lane with their spouses and ultimately GARDA argues to take separate lane, as you are in Ireland (center of life).Obie wrote:Try and make sure you are accompanied by your wife and this will prevent any issues.
Yes. She will be there. Thanks.Obie wrote:Well that is not correct, but in any event she will be there, whatever lane she decides to take.
