That depends on the OPs citizenship!agniukas wrote:your soon to be husband is south african, thus non visa required to ireland. so you can travel to ireland together.
however, you will have to be exercising EU treaty rights in ireland in order for him to get his stamp 4EUFAM
All, thankyou I am a British Citizen and currently living in the UK.agniukas wrote:i am assuming that OP is EU national but not Irish national. hopefully OP can confirm if i am right
Thats good then it will make the process a little bit easier - however would he have to apply for a visa to stay longer than 90days and work before he comes to Ireland?Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:South Africans do not seem to need a visa: http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/mo ... eland.html
Would I not need to be living in Dublin first? Would it be better if I was?Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:So once you are married, you can both fly to Dublin. Be sure to carry your marriage certificate. SA citizens do not seem to need a visa.
Once there, the EU citizen needs to find a job (or be self sufficient).
The non-EU citizen can then apply for a Residence Card.
Done.
Thank you - what if my husband wanted to work in dublin - would he not have to apply for a working visa or something though he wouldnt have a job going there? Or would he have to apply for something once in ireland before the 90days are up?Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:No you do not need to be living in Dublin first. There is no requirement that the EU citizen live alone for a while before the non-EU citizen is "allowed" to join them...
I doubt you will be questioned at the airport. If you are, tell them you are married. Should be end of story.
See http://eumovement.wordpress.com/2010/08 ... to-travel/ which includes my experience in Ireland. Note that my wife required a visa and did not have one. Yours does not even require one!
