Thanks again for your time and the detailed response. Very useful advice about the banking and parent. I have been supporting parent for several years now and financial dependency is obvious and hopefully can be demonstrated to their requirements.shpirtshqipe wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 12:08 pmHealth insurance:
I did not say it isn’t compulsory but that there is no minimum requirement on the level of private health insurance cover you take. You and your parent will need the private health insurance for the purpose of the application (this is asked on the application form). As I said choose a very basic plan.
Residence card EU Citizen (You)
You don’t need to get a residence card at the moment since INIS has confirmed it will honour the rights of EU citizens deal or no deal. Furthermore unless the Good Friday Agreement is null and voided you shouldn’t have problems with you living here in Ireland. As for travelling within the EU depending on what the agreement is after Brexit, you may have to apply for Schengen or tourist visa to travel. Unless you are from mainland Europe and your country of birth is part of the Schengen scheme.
Employment:
You are an EU citizen and can take whatever job you like and change it at your pleasure (obviously the less of this the better). Irrespective of the type of job you take (employed or self-employed) as long as you show income should be ok. Make sure when your job changes that you inform INIS so they are aware.
Banking:
Most banks have charges however if you earn over a certain amount monthly most of these charges do not apply to you. You will often get a one off annual charge part paid to the government and part paid to the bank. The easiest thing to do is exchange your sterling at the Post Office or Sainsbury’s to Euro and then pay it in at the Irish bank. You’ll get better exchange rate and also less bank charge for transferring money over.
Parent:
This is the most crucial part of the application to make sure your parent is dependent on you. By this I mean being able to provide evidence of regular financial support to your parent, their living conditions i.e. properties or wealth your parent has back home (the less wealth obviously the better). I am assuming you’ve already collected such evidence ready for submission
Good luck
Thanks for your advice. I've been looking at Belgium option but it's probably a little late for that now given that we've already found a place in Ireland and signed a lease etc.
Thanks shpirtshqipe, I understand that I'll be ordinarily resident but how can I then demonstrate the "residency in Ireland" when I'm travelling to other EU countries eg say Germany at the arrival as I'll only be holding British passport and not a EU residence card from Ireland. But on the other hand, if I register say in Belgium then my understanding is that they'll issue me with a EU residence card for a given period day 5 years. Then, if I'm travelling to Germany, I'll not need to use my British passport but I can use my Belgium issued residence card? But with Ireland residency status I can't do that right?shpirtshqipe wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2019 6:59 pmYou don’t need a residence card per se. By 3 months of you being here in Ireland and established yourself with a job, rent, bank, paying taxes, utility bills will qualify you as an “ordinary resident” in Ireland. So by the end of January providing Brexit officially happens you’d have been over 3 months living here which makes you a resident.
After Brexit happens INIS has said that it will honour the rights of UK Citizens family members (non EU dependents & spouse included). So far it appears INIS is preparing to transition all EUFAM holders into domestic Irish law after Brexit whilst ensuring the same rights are also upheld.
As for the previous responder’s reply, every person’s case is different and what’s crucial is to prove as much as possible dependence of your parent. In doing so the law is straightforward and my experience (luckily) has been positive.
Health insurance you would be wise to take out the most basic plan to ensure INIS doesn’t use this potentially as an excuse to create problems for you.
I couldn't PM you or check what sort of issues you faced. It'll be helpful to learn from your experiences. And sorry to hear about your experiences. I'm worried that it should all go well for us especially as my firm employment offer isn't in place yet.
You don't have access to the PM privilege as a newly registered member and asking members to PM you can result in you not being granted the PM function either. Everyone on the forum is a complete stranger and we have many spammers and scammers who visit the forum daily.Dav20 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 11:34 amI couldn't PM you or check what sort of issues you faced.

Thanks for clarifying and i can understand your concerns. I would like to clarify that i have been a regular forum member several years ago and it's just that i lost my login details and hence the 'new membership'. Nevertheless, i don't intend to spam anytime or breach forum policies. I can understand why pm feature may be restricted but a threat to restrict the pm feature is not very appealing . If things are not obvious then perhaps a gentle reminder or update to policy would be sufficient for many.CR001 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 1:13 pmYou don't have access to the PM privilege as a newly registered member and asking members to PM you can result in you not being granted the PM function either.

You are over complicating things
Residency:
Moving to another EU Country simply for travelling freedom within the EU after Brexit (what other reason is there), being a British citizen isn’t necessary at all. If you asked me unjustifiable altogether. Nobody knows what will happen truly until Brexit happens. Even in the worst case scenario you can simply apply for a Schengen visa that will cover you for 3 months travel. If you do business in mainland EU I’m sure there’s provisions of a business type visa you can avail.
But if you think your case isn’t strong enough to prove dependency then I suppose exploring other EU Countries is an option. A word of caution though. You’ll need to move fast because whenever you go within the EU, you’ll be racing against the time with Brexit approaching end of January. Again any other EU Country you go you’ll have to do the same you did here to first settle yourself until you start having Util bills, rent, a job etc etc before you can apply.
My advise. Stay in ireland
Health insurance:
Visit the website below to guide you through the process of choosing a plan suitable to your needs (again the more options you include the more expensive your cover will become). Depending on how healthy your parent is you should seriously think about getting a slightly higher cover if you want quicker treatment should they ever needed it. After all you’ll be paying money anyway. For yourself take the most basic.

My final advise to you is to not waste time and continue as you mean to go on with your application here in Ireland.
Good Luck
Hi Dav,Dav20 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 2:59 amHi,
I'm a UK citizen exercising EU treaty rights in Ireland along with qualifying family member.
My job offer has been on hold possibly due to the brexit situation. However, i didn't wait and moved to Ireland and rented a place and making arrangements to go self employed while waiting for jobs to fruition.
My question is do i have to have employment confirmed or self employment generating income by the 90 days time period to qualify for exercising treaty rights,?
I can start generating income in my self employment but it'll take time to get established. Alternatively, i can try and find any job outside of my skills if it would be easier to support my case.
I have been trying to find info related to self sufficiency and how best to meet the criteria for exercising treaty rights.
(On a side note, i can stay in Ireland without any income for the next 6 months to a year using my savings. However, i don't want to take this approach as I think I'll need to have private comprehensive insurance which will quickly drain my savings.
I have been naive in how complicated the healthcare system is and i still don't get it. )
Any advice on the best approach to get EU residency card given the lack of confirmed employment situation?
Many thanks,
Dav
