If you travel together with your wife you shouldn't need a visa at all if she has a valid UK residence card as you imply in your other thread in the Europe immigration forum (and Germany shouldn't ask you for one either provided you travel together or your wife joins you later, see http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... ht=#190820).dsab85 wrote:As a resident of NI I feel that the Irish "should" Issue my wife with a longer Visa.
They are required to, in accordance with Directive 2004/38/EC. Out of interested, by which method of transport have you and your wife entered ROI from NI, and encountered difficulties because your wife is not in possession of an Irish visa (but in possession of her UK Residence Card)?dsab85 wrote:Ireland doesn't recognize my wife's UK-issued resident permit to legally enter the country.
The German embassy were quite nice when we complained of some hassle we got at Frankfurt from the Border guards when I tried to enter on a stamp4EU fam card during a transit layover. They sent me a letter on the embassy's letterhead confirming that we could enter Germany without a visa as long as I travelled together with my wife.dsab85 wrote: I know that we might be able to enter Germany without the Visa. But it is just much more hassle. It took us 4 days and no money to get a Schengen Visa. The last thing I wanna do when going on vacation is to argue with Immigration of the Airline Staff about my wifes eligibility to enter a country. There have been several examples here on the board where people have been refused boarding or refused entry to the country.
Dsab, what embassy did you get the three year Schengen visa from?dsab85 wrote:Good Morning,
does anybody know what the longest time is the Irish will Issue a (tourist-Visa) for?
So far we only have ever received 3 months. We are living in Northern Ireland (relocated after the EU1 Fiasco), and still have loads of friends in Ireland who we visit regularly.
As a resident of NI I feel that the Irish "should" Issue my wife with a longer Visa. Somehow they also ask for very specific Infos. They always want to see Invitations or other stuff. I always have to respond and explain that we will only go for a day to do shopping or meet friends, and usually don't stay overnight.
Wouldn't it save them time and hassle to Issue us with a 1 (or multiple) year visa?
My wife applied for a US Visa a few weeks ago, and got 10 years.
She applied for a Schengen Visa last week and got 3 years.
So why does the country that we live a stonethrow away from make it this difficult?
It's very annoying tbh.
