Its a continuing thing.
We live on it in Norway... I comparison life is cheap in Ireland...
I guess we live simply but of course immigration doesn't really consider that.
We have been to Ireland many times and honeymooned there.
So... there is nothing solid defined for "sufficient resources"???
correct, there is no solid definition of "sufficient resources" I think there is a bit on
Artilce 8 of Directive 2004/38EC. See the Commissioners Communication of 2008ish on free movement, there maybe guidelines there.
Article 8
Administrative formalities for Union citizens
1. Without prejudice to Article 5(5), for periods of residence
longer than three months, the host Member State may require
Union citizens to register with the relevant authorities.
2. The deadline for registration may not be less than three
months from the date of arrival. A registration certificate shall
be issued immediately, stating the name and address of the
person registering and the date of the registration. Failure to
comply with the registration requirement may render the
person concerned liable to proportionate and non-discriminatory
sanctions.
3. For the registration certificate to be issued, Member States
may only require that
— Union citizens to whom point (a) of Article 7(1) applies
present a valid identity card or passport, a confirmation of
engagement from the employer or a certificate of employment,
or proof that they are self-employed persons,
— Union citizens to whom point (b) of Article 7(1) applies
present a valid identity card or passport and provide proof
that they satisfy the conditions laid down therein,
— Union citizens to whom point (c) of Article 7(1) applies
present a valid identity card or passport, provide proof of
enrolment at an accredited establishment and of comprehensive
sickness insurance cover and the declaration or
equivalent means referred to in point (c) of Article 7(1).
Member States may not require this declaration to refer to
any specific amount of resources.
4. Member States
may not lay down a fixed amount which
they regard as ‘sufficient resources’, but they must take into
account the personal situation of the person concerned. In all
cases this amount shall not be higher than the threshold below
which nationals of the host Member State become eligible for
social assistance, or, where this criterion is not applicable,
higher than the minimum social security pension paid by the
host Member State.
try out europa.eu it has links to more authoritive people to talk too and case law searches.
If i had time i would check into it better, sadly I don't - it really is make it up as you go along, from EU level, but it must not be a suitation where its arbitary and practically frustrates one's right to free movement.
Sounds like ye will be ok in getting by money wise. try daft.ie for flats/houses/rent. No harm being fully prepared before coming
