Hi,
I just moved to Germany, due to work, with my 17 y.o. daughter. I am currently a holder of a EU Blue card, before that we lived in Ireland for 8 years with a critical skills work permit and recently I got my irish passport.
My daughter has a residence permit, due to my eu blue card, that expires in 2025.
I would like to know what is the best/quickest way to get her a permanent residence permit and also wether there is any advantage to register her as a dependent of a EU citizen instead of her current residence card.
Stupidly, I didnt got her a permanent residence card when we where in Ireland and now it is not possible unless we go back. That is another option that we are considering.
Thank you
I think you might need professional advice in this regard. It´s a very unique situation.
I just re-read the EU directive which the issuance of BlueCard is based on, and as I suspected, in the very beginning, it says "This Directive shall apply to third-country nationals..."
Please make sure that you becoming an EU national did not invalidate your and possibly subsequently your daughter´s BlueCard. You may not have to change anything but it could also be the case that you urgently
need to change her status to family member of an EU national.
I am not quite clear on the timeline - did you naturalize before moving to Germany and receiving your BlueCard or after? If you had already naturalized before the move, did you conceal your Irish nationality when dealing with the Ausländerbehörde?
But I am presuming that you would have just moved under EU freedom of movement if you already had obtained Irish citizenship. It would be good to specify, as this could have consequences/change any suggestions.
