Civil Partnership in Northern Ireland

[robbie123]

Hi,

To anyone who's interested we received an answer on our De Facto application today after a wait of 7 weeks. Unfortunately they rejected us based on insufficient evidence (joint bill etc..).

We have been considering a civil partnership for a long time, so now, though the circumstances are less than ideal we would like to go ahead with this. If we obtain a civil partnership in the North, does anyone know if this would enable us to secure Stamp 4 for my partner (Brazilian) in Ireland?

Any info would be gratefully received,
Thanks,

What nationality are you?

You can now get a civil partnership in Ireland.

If you are Irish, you will then apply to INIS as the spouse of Irish national. If your partner already has some form of immigration status, all you need to do is go to your local Garda station (GNIB if living in Dublin) with both your passports, partnership certificate and might be helpful to bring proof of address and they change his current stamp to a stamp 4. If he has no legal status, then you make a paper application to INIS.

If you are an EU national, other than Irish, you can make an EU treaty rights application.
