As your current rights to reside (Stamp4) were based on your marriage to your Irish spouse, the fact that your marriage is over would mean that there's no valid reason for you to remain in the State. For you to get a new Stamp4, your wife would have to attend the GNIB office with you to show that the marriage is still existing in order for your Stamp4 to be renewed. Stamp4 is not Permanent Residency.There are no rights of retention of residence in the event of separation/divorce.
My understanding is that you already have this "long term residency" stamp. I'm not sure that applying for LTR would have any affect. If you were on a Work Permit/Visa it would change your Stamp from Stamp1 to Stamp4, but as you already have a Stamp4 what difference would it make?Stamp 4 indicates that the person is entitled to work without a work permit. It is issued to people on work visas/work authorisations, and also to, e.g., spouses of Irish and EU citizens, refugees, people with Irish Born Child residency, people with long term residency status.
That's great news! And amazing that you got such a prompt response in writing!Wisco wrote:Update: I emailed INIS and got a quick reply telling me my current permission to remain will not change with separation and that when my visa is due to expire I should write to them beforehand and explain- email said circumstances would be taken into consideration, although I know that's not a guarantee of success. But it's a little bit of a weight off my mind anyway!
Since when does INIS answer emails again? Did the work-to-rule stop? Or was only the EU treaty rights department not answering?scrudu wrote:That's great news!

Why not? Are you saying if you marry a spouse that is not of your nationality, you are tied to them forever, no matter what the circumstances?blondi wrote:You can’t marry an Irish spouse and then decide to leave when you wish, or for whatever reason or subject matter.
Think it was the EU Treaty Rights section. Although I did get a reply from them 7 days after I emailed them. I have since sent another email over 12 days ago and have yet to receive a reply. I think they just make it up as they go alongthesmiler wrote: Since when does INIS answer emails again? Did the work-to-rule stop? Or was only the EU treaty rights department not answering?
