The OPs spouse hold as spouse settlement visa under the UK Immigration Rules and not a residence card as a FM under the EEA rules.shpirtshqipe wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2019 10:44 am1. No she doesn’t need a visa when travelling with you to Ireland
2. You’ll need to apply for the transfer of residence permit (known as EUFAM in Ireland) when she gets in Ireland. Bear in mind in doing so you are resetting the clock and your spouse will start the 5 years of residence permit from scratch. Similarly you risk her loosing the UK residence permit she currently has should you decide to return to the UK thereafter.

That's not right. She needs a Type C Join Family visa, unless the OP was originally from another EU country and has been exercising his EU Treaty Rights in the UK.shpirtshqipe wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2019 10:44 am1. No she doesn’t need a visa when travelling with you to Ireland

CR001 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2019 11:13 amFor members who wish to advise, the OPs position is as follows :
1. OP was married to an EU spouse and attained PR in the UK in 2015 as a Non EU EEA FM.
2. Applied for British citizenship on form AN in 2016 as a non EU citizen.
3. So presumably the OP at some point divorced their EU spouse and married a Non EU citizen AFTER the OP became British, hence a 2.5 year spouse visa under the UK Immigration Rules (not RC from exercising treaty rights in another EU (non UK) state).
4. UK spouse visa does not permit visa free travel in the EU.

The spouse likely needs a visa to travel to Ireland.
So she has FLR(FP) Parent route 2.5 year visa. Still a visa under the UK immigration rules and not the EEA rules.My new spouse has 2.5 years residence permit which will expire in January 2020 and we have both had good job offers in Ireland. Can someone advise on the best way to go about this?
You cannot 'transfer' her UK visa to an Irish one. She has to apply for a visa to travel to Ireland. Her UK visa is only relevant if she lives in the UK, it has nothing to do with an Irish visa (assuming you mean Republic of Ireland and not Northern Ireland). Bear in mind that the process for your spouse in Ireland (republic) before she can start working could take a few months.Shall we wait till she renews her UK Residence Permit or would it be easy to transfer her UK residence permit and be able to live and work in Ireland?

Also it's not a "transfer" of residence permit. It's simply a new application of EU Treaty Rights once she arrives in Ireland.
