EEA2 Surinder Singh 3 Month Success Story

[returntotheuk]

Actually you have to give them 4 weeks time to process your application, nowadays they are taking bit longer. also You don't need to buy air ticket before you travel and don't need a return one but you need to show them a proof like you will be traveling together such as proof of reservation or confirmation letter from a ticketing agent that you have booked with them. if the application is approved, you will be given 3 months short stay C visa.

The application form you have to fill in online and you will get some pages with the reference on it to take print out to submit in the Irish Embassy or consulate in your country along with your documents.

Thanks for the information, I was just a bit concerned booking our flight tickets before visa is issued. But now you make it clear for me. thanks

Hi,
I've submitted spouse Short Stay Visa as member of EEA and now I'm waiting for their response on the decision which is now taking about 4-6 months.

Next step would be to get to Ireland and apply for EU1.

The questions I have are as follows

1. Does my non-eea spouse have to work and make his statement to apply for EU1?

2. Once he gets 6 months stamp on his passport, can he then apply for EEA2 from Ireland or he has to come to UK to apply?

3. Finally, to apply for EEA 2 does he have to wait for EU1 decision?

Best Regards...

NO not the non EU, The EU citizen has to be working according to the Directive and you need to show them the proof of employment when you apply for the EU1 in the state.

EEA2 is a certificate of registration, we can only apply inside the UK and it doesn't matter if you having the 6 months stamp or 5 years card, you can apply for the EEA2 if you have sufficient documents to proof your centre of life in Ireland.

[nouman_aziz]

Thanks Kunfayakun

So whats the procedure of coming back to UK with the spouse and which documents are required?

Best Regards...

[nouman_aziz]

Also please share the form which needs to be filed for EEA family permit for spouse. I have british passport and spouse will have 6 months stamp oh his visa in ireland.

Best Regards...

[kunfayakun]

Once you have the stamp 4 or 5years card in Ireland you can apply for the UK family permit and once you get that you can travel to the UK and apply for the EEA2 using the documents you use for the EU1.

I am hearing there are waiting times of 5 mths for visas for Ireland? Is there a quicker way? It is obviously been done on purpose?

I see two other ways, can anyone give their opinions whether it is a good idea for either?

1. Apply for an Irish visa as a tourist?

2. Get a schengan visa and land in the schengan area, then travel to Ireland without a visa? I am reading as long as you have proof of marriage then the immigration are very unlikely to turn you away.

Thanks

It is not taking 5 months, the long wait because of the refugee crisis and they are now like receiving 400 applications per week. I think Irish tourist visa process also like 2 months and you need to provide more supporting documents such as financial proofs and accommodation etc.., but accompany spouse (EU Citizen) visa doesn't need them.

I have also read that when travelling from Schengen country we can show the marriage certificate to enter but I didn't hear anyone successfully did this, in case you know if the Irish immigration officers refuse your entry then you will be deported so I would prefer to do the accompany spouse visa, it is risk free!

Thanks again for the information.

I have been doing a little more research, if we apply online then my wife's docs need submitted to Hanoi and applications online from Thai also go to Hanoi as far as I know. So, maybe it would be better to apply in person in somewhere like Singapore's Irish Embassy? I doubt many Singaporeans will be applying for Irish visas . Malaysia also has an Irish Embassy but I would imagine that more people would be applying there.

Hi,
Is it easy to bring parents, brothers and sisters to UK through SS route?

How can we show dependency?

Also someone said that UK only consider spouse and children's as family members. So if that's the case then can we not get their 5 years residence permit of i.e. Ireland and then move to UK?

Regards

[Brom]

Hello everyone

After being refused twice by the home office we have decided to go thro ss route and now I would like to have so informAtion about filling the application where it asks

* employment (currently living in the uk and have no employment in Ireland) so what should I answer to this question
* Ireland home address (don't have one yet) also they ask for the current applicant Irish address?
*evidence of residency in the state

Coz as long as I am aware of is that according to eu law you don't have to submit any employment contract or payslips or bank statements or accomadation so guys please help as I am about to fill up my application.

Regards

I've created this thread.....
1. I chose to apply for an Ireland Directive 2004/38/EC Visa due to Ireland’s proximity and shared language/culture to the UK (link to visa cover letter). I applied for an accompany EU spouse visa in late December 2013 and was granted the Visa in mid-January 2014......

Hi st2447,
Thanks for putting all the details of your experience - these are indeed very helpful. I am currently filling up short stay visa c form (ACCOMPANY) for my dependent parents. I live in UK and am planning to move to Ireland to exercise my Treaty rights as soon as my parents' visa is granted. The application form asks for "Contact details for Contact / Host in Ireland." and without filling this information, it does not proceed further. I just wanted to ask what did you put in there since you also applied for ACCOMPANY visa and you were not in Ireland at the time of application.
I will be grateful for your's and other member's response to this query.
Thanks

I think you just put N/A in these fields and for contact number, give you UK number.

Also I have a question for you. Do you need to provide dependancy proof for visa? Or do you provide them at the time of EU1 application?

As far as I understand, if you are applying for short stay visa C with a view to exercise your treaty rights, you have to prove that the applicants are "Qualified or Permitted members" and if the applicant is anyone other than spouse, then, YES, you need to prove dependency. Only spouse is a "qualified member" without any conditions but for any other family member dependency makes them qualified or permitted members. Hope this helps.

You can't skip this part so you need to either put a B&b add or guest house or hotel which of course you need make a reservation and in case if ur case is delayed u can either Cancell it or change the dates free of cost I hope it helps

Also i think it's on hold now I don't know y as I am planing to submit my app next week in Abu Dhabi

Hi guys

Do we need single or return ticket for non-eu spouse?

As non-eu will apply for residency once in state. Will immigration ask for further plans?

Return ticket is not a legal requirement for the accompany spouse visa, they don't normally ask for the plans when you accompany and if they ask you can tell them that you moved here to exercise your free movement rights.

[nouman_aziz]

Hi,
What's the differences between ''Free movement rights'' and ''treaty rights''?

I wrote a letter on behalf of spouse stating that "I (EU National) will be exercising free movement rights on the arrival of (non eu)" however I just saw cover letter written by someone else and it said that "EU citizen with be exercising treaty rights".

Please somebody clarify this.

Hi
Are you in Pakistan? How are you going to apply from Abu Dhabi?

[taj14]

Do i need to specify if i need accompany or join visa for my spouse? If so how do i do that because the site i know of to apply is visas.inis.gov.ie and only gives you the option or short stay or long stay.

I am uk citizen and wish to join my spouse in ireland once they get their visa but havent been there yet and dont have any accomadation or anything.

My spouse has also had visa rejected from ukba.

My spouse is applying from pakistan so what documents will she need to provide for irish visa?

Anŷ help as always is greatly appreciated

SUB: EEA2 Surinder Singh 3 Month Success Story.
Thank you so much. I wish I knew about this 2yrs ago. But it is still helpful nonetheless. Congratulation to you. That is a message of hope I must say.
I have out stayed my visa (Post study work Permits) in the UK and age 43. My father is a British National and we are about to go through this route. What do you think are the chances, should I be applying as a dependant of an EEA national who is excessing his treaty right?, what form should I use?
Thank you.
DanJay.
