Getting back into Ireland.

Post by jimmyendless » Mon May 19, 2008 1:05 pm

Hello,

I'm an Irish national and my partner is a Canadian. We have a 4 month old daughter born in Ireland. My partner arrived here on a work visa 2 yrs ago and has since come back into the country on a holiday visa. This visa expired and as she was pregnant we wrote to the Department of Justice about our situation but didn't receive any contact.

We were planning on taking our daughter to see her Canadian relatives this summer. Will my partner have trouble getting back into the country and if we get married in Canada, will this be enough to get her back into the country. Surely immigration cannot split up our family when two members of it are Irish nationals??

We hired a solicitor a few months ago but the Department of Justice seem to be stalling on making a decision.

Any information will be appreciated.

Hi there

All I can suggest is that you ring the Dept of justice at 10am on Wednesday (when they are next open for queries) and ask them. if they say it is OK, be sure to get the name of the person you spoke to.

I really hope things work out.

"Sounds familiar....."

"Can't they?" - I am glad to hear it mate...that too from Irish who knows their own country....

"That is a dumbest thing to do in Ireland", hiring a lawyer to fight your case...it is a pity, but it is the fact...

Congrats on the small Canadian/Irish child!

Have you considered marrying in Ireland?
