Dear Members,
I am a Pakistani citizen living in Bulgaria from Nov 2016 with my Bulgarian wife and my step son. I used to live in Ireland from 2007 until 2016. I got married in August 2014 and received my Stamp4 EUFAM with the validity until 2020, Anyways, we decided to permanently move to Bulgaria in November 2016 and we are happily living here. My dad is living in Ireland since 2002 and recently my mom is visiting Ireland as well. We decided to travel back to Ireland solely for tourism purposes and to see my parents. Our plan is to travel on 25th july until 31st july. We have no intention to stay for longer than 3 months, which we can easily live because my wife is self employed, freelance writer with stable financial income since 2006, but we have no intention to live. I am planning to apply as a family member of an EU citizen and accompanying with my wife for short stay visa c type. The necessay documents as far as I know is providing marriage certificate, passport/ ID photocopy, declaration or a statement to describe the reason for applying for visa. MY QUESTION is whether I should submit MINIMUM DOCUMENTAS required by the DEPARTMENT or should I submit additional documents such as bank statement, invoices to show income, communication history (whatsapp or call history, the communication is mostly about grocery list, or bulgarian words/sentences in order to communicate with the local population) etc, and TO provide further information that we are not planning to stay for llonger than 3 months. DO YOU THINK THAT additional documentation will complicate this straightforward process or it will build a strong case for swift visa approval. I will appreciate your advices and recommendations. Thank you.
