1. She applies to come as my 'guest' to Ireland after I send an invitation to her (how long can she come for?)Irishman346 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 7:30 pmDear Max
Thanks for your info. Just to clarfiy, is this how the process would look?
1. She applies to come as my 'guest' to Ireland after I send an invitation to her (how long can she come for?)
2. While she's here, we go to the registrar to inform of intention to marry.
3. The interview occurs while she's still here on her visit as my guest (enough time?)
4. We are given a decision shortly after if license is granted or not?
5. She must then return to Russia, and applies for marriage visa.
6. What happens next?
Thank you!
No problem! I'm glad I was able to help with your questionsIrishman346 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 10:33 pmI don't know how to thank you Max, you've been so helpful. Thank you a thousand times.
I am going to look over what you've told me and get back to you again soon - I'm sure I'll have more questions if you don't mind!
Thank you again!
Hey @Irishman346!Irishman346 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 8:18 pmHi again Max
In regards to the short stay 'c' visa, it states under the title;
"If a friend or family member in Ireland is helping to pay for your visit"
that "if they are self employed , they must provide a letter that includes:
A description of their business and the products or service they provide
Proof that their business is trading, for example:
Their most recent financial accounts (clear colour photocopy)
Recent tax return (clear colour photocopy
confirmation of payments from customers from within last 6 months (printed emails or letters)"
Since I was making money online while on jobseekers I am a bit edgy about this - I haven't got any tax documentation or accounts because I am still deciding between a limited company and sole trading so I cannot provide this - although I do have around 20,000 euros in my bank account with healthy deposits over the past six months and I have no problem providing those but cannot get around how to provide proof that I am trading - will this be adequate for the customs official do you think? Both for the short term C visa and for the marraige visa also? Because we will be applying for the marraige visa shortly afterwards.
Thank you Max
Just to clarify, this time around when she's coming just to give notice of intention of marriage to the State she can come on a tourist visa as well, no need to complicate things.Irishman346 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 2:46 pmDear Max
For ther previous two visits, she came as a 'tourist' ie competely unrelated to me, as if she were just a visitor. This was just the quickest and easiest option for us at the time but obviously won't be suitable anymore.
So just to clarify, all I need for my fiancee to come and live and get married in Ireland with me, my savings and deposits into my account will be enough you feel? I don't need tax documents for my business or any kind of accounts?
It has me quite stressed actually. I want so badly for my finacee to come here but I have not started the process yet of 'legitimising' my business as far as the tax authorities are concerned. I am still deciding between a limited company and continuing as a sole trader. I don't earn a huge amount but probably the average in Ireland.
You think we'll be okay with the savings and deposits into my account?
Thank you as always Max
1. You are saying that even though she has been twice before on a standard tourist visa, she can come here again via this method for her next visit for us to go and give notice for intention to marry? Won't this look strange to the customs official when she comes the next time? As in - she came three times as a 'tourist' and suddenly shes marrrying an Irish citizen? She doesn't need to come as my guest on a short stay C visa?Irishman346 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 8:15 pmDear Max
Thank you for your kind help and patience with my questions. I hope I''m not bothering you with my repeated clarifications.
1. You are saying that even though she has been twice before on a standard tourist visa, she can come here again via this method for her next visit for us to go and give notice for intention to marry? Won't this look strange to the customs official when she comes the next time? As in - she came three times as a 'tourist' and suddenly shes marrrying an Irish citizen? She doesn't need to come as my guest on a short stay C visa?
2. If we do decide to go down the route of the short stay C visa for her next visit, is that going to be much more complicated? Are the documents that I need to provide as her host, required for her application before she arrives? Or only for inspection by the customs official upon her entry?
3. There are some documents that are required for the notification of marriage. Some things I feel must not apply to her, ie PPS number etc. Do you know what she would need beyond birth certificate and passport?
Thank you as ever Max! You are helping us very much!

I have some more questions please;
1. I read online (can't find the webpage now) that anyone who was in reciept of a social welfare payment for any time within the past two years is ineligable to bring over their spouse? Is this true? I am not on jobseekers any more but I am concerned because I have been for years although this is now ended. I am quite alarmed by this as this would completely make us ineligable.
2. Also, as I was saying to you before, I do have healthy deposits and a good balance in my account and I can satisfy the rules regarding cumulative gross income of 40k in the past 3 years. Should I be concerned that this is in direct contradiction to the fact that I was on welfare? Will the immigration officers be able to tell if I was on social welfare? I am very concerned about this as I will be providing bank statements.
3. The bank statements will really be enough? I won't need to provide books, or tax documents, which I obivously don't have?
Thank you Max
Once you are legally married in Ireland or in Russia that will not matter because she will be coming as the spouse of an Irish (EU) citizen.Irishman346 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 06, 2019 8:48 pmThoughts Max?
