This is transposed into Irish law, quite correctly, in the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) (No. 2) Regulations 2006, Regulation 4(4):The host Member State shall not place an entry or exit stamp in the passport of family members
who are not nationals of a Member State provided that they present the residence card provided for
in Article 10.
However, GNIB staff at some Irish ports of entry, including Dublin airport, seem to be unaware of the law.An immigration officer shall not, at the point of entry, place a stamp in the passport of a
qualifying family member who presents to the officer a valid residence card.
What are your experiences?
