The procedure is that you make the application (by registered post and keep copies of everything) and send it off withthe documentation to the EU Treaty Rights Section. In about two weeks, you should receive passports back with a letter granting your husband 6 months permission to remain.ciaramc wrote:Heya we went to Burgh quay and they gave us the application form and explained it to us....at the airport the airport the police man knew we were applying under EU1 think it was type of visa we had! He was very nice as well...explained everything in detail.
I was wondering the same thing will they send the passport back with the letter? Also it states on the application form that they may give you a stamp 3? What is that about? Thought it was supposed to be stamp SOLVIT tomorrow...this is not on he can't work for 6 months?
Does your spouse have an EU Residency card for the country you are currently residing in? If so then both of you will be able to enter the State without any visa or trouble and your spouse should be granted 90 days. No need to mention anything about Surinder SIngh which the GNIB Garda wouldn't have a clue about anyway!doesnotcompute wrote:Hi,
Like ciaramc, I am also an Irish citizen excercising my Treaty Rights abroad, and I will be returning to Ireland with my non-EU spouse in less than 3 months. I would be very interested to know how you get on, ciaramc.
What I'd like to know is - when my wife sends the EU1 application (along with her passport, etc), do the Treaty Rights section send her passport back to her, when they send the letter that tells her when/how/where to apply for her temporary immigration stamp? I presume they do, I just want to get things clear in my head, as the info is hard to come by.
Also, when we arrive at the airport, do we have to explicitly tell the Garda that we plan to use the Surrinder Singh route? Do we have to mention anything about Treaty Rights, or is it that likely to affect his/her decision as to how many days to give my spouse on her entry stamp?
Really? Didn't think the immigration officers at the airport would have a clue about EU Residency Cards from other member states, either. From what I've heard, you can't travel to Ireland on a EU Residency Card from another member state. The reason being is that the Dept of Justice insist on you getting a seperate visa for Ireland. I know this is against the spirit of European integration, but that's the way it goes!Muttsnuts wrote:Does your spouse have an EU Residency card for the country you are currently residing in?

Is this possible where the spouse is a visa-required national?agniukas wrote:you can also just go to your local immigration officer and get your spouse stamp 4 as a spouse of irish national with the minimum of documentation needed and it would be the quickest option.
