Hi everyone, I am new here. Learned a lot from your posts; thank you for that
I appreciate your comments on my situation
My wife (EU national) and I (non-EU national ) got married last year but have been living in an EU country for the past 4 years. We now decided to move to Ireland as part of that plan I applied and Got accepted to study a Masters in Ireland.
My question is will I be able to study after filing EUTR1? Or will it be better If I process my student visa from here and apply later for The strap 4 while being on the stamp 2 (the student permit)
Hi,
You have more privileges with EUTR1 (Stamp 4 EUfam). You will have free tuition as you have spent more than 3 years in an EU country and a family member of EU citizen or EU/Irish citizen tuition tariff.
Plus you also don't need employment permit or any permission to engage in business. You will have same rights as Irish/EU citizen.
If you want to enjoy this privileges, defer your course until you have the stamp 4EUFAM.
****Note; the temporary stamp 4 you will be given while waiting for final approval will not be eligible for this privileges.
Thank you for your response, as you pointed out they have told be that even with out the stamp 4 my the Tuition will be in EU rates because I have been living in Europe for the past 3+ years.
Getting the strap 4 is the end goal, I though it will be the best use of my time if i finish my Masters while I wait for the stamp 4.
The two things I can not find information about are
1) if I am able to file the EUTR1 while on a Stamp 2(study permit), if this is allowed, it will give us enough time for my wife to find job work for a month or two and file for my Stam 4, at the mean time my study permit will allow me to work as much as 20hrs/ week
2) the other alternative is to move now and find job and file the EUTR1, for this I am not sure if they allow me to study incase I don't get temporary Stamp 4 on time. Are you allowed to study Before you get your temporary Stam 4?
Thanks
