To simplify your desire, your wife will only get into Britain by you, who's an European citizen, and there's no way your wife could be excempted for virtue of knock-for-knock agreement under the freedom of movement without your own passport in support of her application to reside and work in the united kingdom of great Britain and northern Ireland.aswadref wrote:Hello,

thanks for all your suggestions in advance
Hi MonifeMonifé wrote:The only way for your wife to move to the UK and be permitted to work (without you moving there with her) is for her employers to sponsor her work visa. She would need to find this out from her potential employers.
If they are not willing to help/sponsor a work visa application, then the only other way is if you apply for an EEA family permit from the British Embassy here in Ireland. But once that is granted, you would need to be travelling to the UK together or you would need to go first and she would then join you. For the first 3 months, you do not need to work, but after that, in order for your wife to remain legal in the UK, you would need to be exercising treaty rights, which would be working, self-employed or studying (with health insurance for all the family).
sorry can you please explain? EEA permit is from uk embassy in ireland. and 5 year multiple entry visa from where?starbuck wrote:yes yes they all mean the same. Get the EEA permit. Then travel to UK with your wife. Send her passport for a 5 year multiple entry visa. You can come back to ireland and work along.
thanks

hi
can i just ask you to clarify. is it
a)3 years from the date you recieve naturalisation certificate
b)3years from the date of marriage to the naturalised person
c)3years from the date the spouse got her stamp 3 after she arrived to ireland as dependant spouse of stamp 4 holder(who is now irish)
thanksssssssssss
(1) No. As soon as you leave the UK while your wife is living there, she will be classed as an illegal immigrant. She is only has the right to work and live in the UK once you are living there and exercising treaty rights.aswadref wrote:Monifé thanks a lot this detailed explaination helped a lot.

Expired will she be still ok to stay coz she is waiting for decision on her recidence card.
Yes, you can apply under self-sufficient but as far as I know you will need medical insurance for all of your family. You should confirm this in the EEA route applications section of this forum though as it may be different in the UK seeing as they have the NHS, but under the directive 2004/38/EC, you would need it.aswadref wrote:Monifé thanks
The thing what we were thinking was go with my wife and let her start
Working and once she is settled in a month I join her and look for job,what happens if I don't find a job...will they treat me self sufficient on wife's salary.
