I understand he doesnt need a visa to enter ireland - i would like to know whether i will need to use the EEA route or if there is another route we should be taking?IQU wrote:your husband dont need visa for 3 months to ireland.www.inis.gov.ie
I will suggest that using the EU (DIRECTIVE 2004/38/EC) route is your best shot, with this you are able to exercise your treaty rights - you dont have to show any proof of work within the first 90days.tickletori wrote:I understand he doesnt need a visa to enter ireland - i would like to know whether i will need to use the EEA route or if there is another route we should be taking?IQU wrote:your husband dont need visa for 3 months to ireland.www.inis.gov.ie
When you say application do you mean the EEA family permit? If not what application do you refer to?adlexy wrote:I will suggest that using the EU (DIRECTIVE 2004/38/EC) route is your best shot, with this you are able to exercise your treaty rights - you dont have to show any proof of work within the first 90days.tickletori wrote:I understand he doesnt need a visa to enter ireland - i would like to know whether i will need to use the EEA route or if there is another route we should be taking?IQU wrote:your husband dont need visa for 3 months to ireland.www.inis.gov.ie

However, to make life easier for you, you may want to start the process as soon as you arrive in Ireland. And if you can get a job before your application, the better for you as this will clearly define you as exercising the treaty rights.

Whichever way you choose, as long as you are exercising the Treaty Rights, and you make the application while your husband is in Ireland, your husband would still have to wait a few months without workingtickletori wrote:When you say application do you mean the EEA family permit?

I planned to move over to ireland on my own and work for a minimum of 3 months (as this is what i thought was the minimum required time) and then apply for my husband to join me from South Africa via an EEA family permit - is this the correct way to go about it?
However if we both went on holiday to ireland and then decided that we wanted to stay could we? - i understand that i can as an EU citizen however would my husband be able to and then would he be able to work? Would it be the same process of applying for an EEA family permit just whilst we were there?
Thanks for the information - sorry to ask lots of questions i just want to cover all bases.
I dont have all the answers buttickletori wrote:Thank you both for the information - i hae a few questions sorry any response is gratefully recieved!
1. How would i show that i was exercising my treaty rights within the first 90 days if i am not working? - to be able to work i need a PPS number which i cant apply for till i go over.
2. What is the name of the application i would have to make on behalf of my husband at the irish embassy - noone has mentioned the EEA family permit is this not the right application?
3. Would my husband need a visa as he is from South Africa it states he does not need a visa to enter the country...
4. If we went to ireland together would it be better to have return tickets - we would not want to commit a crime but i think it would be easier to go into the country with return tickets and therefore avoid questions?
5. What do you think is the best/easiest option to go for?
Thank you, do you have an idea of how long the application would take whilst we are in ireland?adlexy wrote:I dont have all the answers buttickletori wrote:Thank you both for the information - i hae a few questions sorry any response is gratefully recieved!

# You can ask for a PPS number when you arrive. You dont have to "show" until you make an application and you dont really have to show anything, you only let them know when you make the application.#
# I think in your case it will be the EU1 - http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/EU ... y%20Rights #
# By default, the SA passport holder do not require a visa to enter Ireland (the last time I checked) but there is no crime double checking that with the Irish embassy in your spouse's country of residence #
# Under normal condition as an EU citizen exercising the Directive, you do not require to have a return ticket - there is no such obligation. However, if you are really very concerned, you may have one #
# The easiest I assume is the EU1 application while you are in Ireland. The only side-kick is that while the application is being determined, your spouse cannot work but you can (he can pretend to be on extended holidays!)#
