What's the "other" EU country and have you thought about the option of naturalisation as a citizen of that country?ciaramc wrote:I'm an Irish citizen but I do have residency in another EU country as I'm there for work. I want to go home to Ireland, and I want to have my husband join me. We have been together for 5 years but we have always had trouble getting are documents sorted as neither of us are natives of the country that we are residing in.
At the moment - no. There is no requirement to be a "permanent resident" in order to apply for naturalisation. All that is needed is 5 years legal residence, other than some excluded statuses (eg student visa, asylum seeker).Directive/2004/38/EC wrote: I am not sure what the benefits are of an Irish law based application. Maybe (or maybe not) it is a shorter road to Irish citizenship if he is interested. Does it make any difference for a citizenship application if you are on an EU Residence Card or an Irish spouse visa?
Interesting. I have the sense that they are each generated locally, based on the requirements of the Directive. The UK form for a residence card is form EEA2 http://uk.sitestat.com/homeoffice/ind/s ... s_type=pdf.scrudu wrote:As far as I am aware the EU1, EU2 and EU3 forms are used in all countries. They are used in UK and Ireland anyway, and I have seen similar forms on the DE website. I think the form was generated by the EU and localised by each country.
