One way ticket to Dublin

SRAQAI · Post by **SRAQAI** » Thu Sep 05, 2013 1:23 am

My husbands Irish visa, in the 'duration' section has 'XX' in it, which I gather means no fixed period of stay. Can he travel from Pakistan to Ireland on a one way flight ticket? Pakistani passport holders with visas are very much strutinized in airports, and sometimes return tickets are demanded by officials. Husband was srutinized during his Dubai layover between Pakistan and France and he was asked to show a return ticket, but his visa was for a fixed duration. This Irish one isnt. I am booking his flight soon, so I want to make sure!

Thank you

You have to give more details about the visa and be very specific. What type Visa was issued to him? And under what circumstance did he applied for the visa?

Hi there,
Even though we applied for a D visa, he got a C visa stamped with 'Spouse of EU B/O' and there is no validity period on it. He applied as a spouse of an EU citizen, under the free movement regulations (directive 2004\38\EC)

Thanks!

Airlines usually check visas and some have restrictions to let visa nationals travel on a one way ticket. Usually if they have such policy they require a multi-entry visa with a a minimum duration left on the period of validity. You can double check with your airline.

Other than that he will definitely not have issues to enter Ireland, and I don't think he will have issues in transit. The embassy might have issued a letter with his visa explaining he is approved to join you in Ireland. If he has this, he can carry this as a proof that he is allowed to go settle in Ireland to be extra safe.

He'll be just fine travelling with one way ticket since he is not expecting to return. His visa proves that. No need to get a return ticket.

Thanks a lot. I am just concerned with airline staff and airport officials. The visa says valid from 26th August 2013 until 25th N9vember 2013 - signifying, I assume the length of time he has to enter Ireland. Underneath that, next to 'number of days', it says 'XX'. Is it on this basis, that airline and airport will know that he doesnt require a return ticket?

When my husband had a schengan visa, under the same freedom of movement, France had illegally stated number of days on his visa as 15, requiring him to show evidence of return ticket to the Airport officials, when he was in transit, but I am not sure if it was only for this reason. This was even though the visa was stamped with 'family member of eea citizen'.

When he arrived to Dublin the border control officer ask one question: can you tell me please what is the address of your wife?
He only knew; Dublin 9, and got very stressed out and tried to open the bag to find the address but man said it is ok, really it was easy

Is it that difficult to tell him the address that you're currently living in prior to his coming??

I think it is just matter of knowing wife whereabouts, I did hear that the husband of the girl that I know was asked only: first time in Ireland? he answered: yes and border control clerk said: enjoy and that is all.
I dont expect that they are grilling people at the airport

I just got a D visa as Spouse of Irish citizen and 3 months duration was specified on the visa. My application was to join spouse in Ireland. Now I'm having difficulty with the airline on the one way ticket option which I considered appropriate in my case seeing I have told the embassy I'm joining family as a support system.

I understand I would have to visit the GNIB once I get to Ireland to register as I am considering staying longer than 90 days in Ireland. My concern basically is why I have to get a two way ticket when I am definitely not sure as to when I would be returning and it was for the purpose of joining spouse that the visa was issued.
