A Stamp 4EUFAM is definitely not quicker to process. People are waiting up to 18 months for their applications to be approved. It is a lengthy and tricky application with loads of supporting documents. Also there is a minimum financial requirement for the 4EUFAM stamp.littlerr wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 3:11 pmUnfortunately, Ireland is one of the two countries that do not accept EU Blue Card.
Your husband can live in Ireland without any issues. The standard route would be to apply for a Stamp 4 based on marriage with an Irish citizen. You *might* be able to apply for a Stamp 4EUFAM under EU Treaty Rights, which is much quicker to process and gives provides more freedom to travel within EU, as you are an EU national living in a different EU country for 8 years, although it would be up to the officer to determine whether your EU Treaty Rights can be extended to your husband since he was in Germany on his own rights.
Whether your husband has a Stamp 4 or Stamp 4EUFAM, it gives him total freedom to do whatever he wants in Ireland (of course, that's subject to you, as a sponsor, satisfying all financial requirements).
The problem is on the German side. Whether or not the German authority counterpart will still allow a non-EU national to work there without physically living there, I don't know. I doubt if most people here will know, as this forum is for Irish immigrations. Most countries, in the current situation, will allow non-EU immigrants to work remotely from a different country. However, that is provided that they still intend to go back to the country once the pandemic is over.
You may try your luck in a German immigration forum.
Just curious, on what basis are you claiming that EU treaty rights are quicker to process?littlerr wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 3:25 pmAn application based on EU Treaty rights is much quicker to process than an application to SOIN. Yes in most cases an application to SOIN is not necessary, but applicants are increasingly difficult to obtain in GNIB directly without an SOIN application now.
Of course, there is no harm trying to get an appointment with GNIB and see if the Stamp 4 can be issued right away.
Germany does not allow dual citizenship based on naturalisation. I guess that’s the main reason
Okay, that could be difference. I didn't realise that people are expected to make a formal application now. The INIS should then update their website as the process is then not correctly documented.littlerr wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 5:00 pmYou did NOT make an application to SOIN. You simply visited the GNIB to get a stamp. This is NO LONGER the experience for more and more new applicants. They are being turned away and are asked to make an application to SOIN.
A typical SOIN application takes more than 12 months, while a typical EU Treaty application takes 6 months. The '12 to 18 months' you mentioned is certainly not for the majority of the people. The Department of Justice has a legal obligation to finish most EUTR applications within 6 months.
No. This is completely irrelevant and incorrect. Spouses of an Irish citizen CANNOT get Stamp 4EUFAM.TropicalTornado wrote: ↑Fri Nov 13, 2020 3:56 pmI'm confused. The spouse of an Irish citizen will get stamp 4 and then they need to apply separately for a stamp 4EUFAM which might takes months?
I thought the spouse of an Irish citizen automatically gets stamp 4EUFAM. After reading this topic, I'm confused. I'm on Stamp 4 and I was thinking that once I'm an Irish citizen, my wife stamp will change to stamp 4EUFAM.
Be calm my friend. Sorry for not asking for your permission before I talk. What I said was based on the travel info on Austrian Embassy website that I read a few years ago. I went to check their website but it has changed.littlerr wrote: ↑Fri Nov 13, 2020 4:34 pmEvery single sentence you have said is so wrong that I don't know where to start. Please stop hijacking the thread. Irish citizens are not able to apply for Stamp 4EUFAM (except for scenario above). Simple as that. If you need some entertainment, take a read at the EU Treaty Rights.
