Dear Sir

you would need to provide the following documents for spouse visa

1. Passport valid for minimum 12 months
2. Clear copy of Irish/EU national's passport
3. Marriage certificate - attested copy of urdu Nikahnama and original plus attested copies of English translation
4. For recent marriages and marriages where you have not yet resided together please give full account of relationship history - when and where you met, and show evidence of this such as visas, entry/exit stamps on passport of Irish/Eu national.
5. If you got married in Pakistan you have to show your entry and exit stamps to confirm the dates on the marriage certificate

The applicant has to apply on line and send two copies of the application form , 2 phtographs on white background and two sets of the above documents. The normal visa processing time is 4 weeks

Website for applying on line is www.visas.inis.gov.ie

Visa Section

Any way good news as they are not asking for any of the other documents as mentioned on the INIS.gov.ie website.

The bad news is that the actual ECO dealing wih your application might have different ideas, and request more documentation! (Sorry. I couldn't resist!)
