Hello i have a problem. Im living in Ireland 8 years already. Came here as a student and then get married with EU woman (not Irish).We are married 3 years but she mooved home and she wants to divorce with me. I m working and earning money and have Stamp 4 EU FAM. She will probably aply for divorce from her country soon. What can i do after divorce? Id like to stay in Ireland, also have a new EU girlfriend. I heard somewhere that after 3 years marriage with EU i can apply to retain my residency in my own right but i would need to be working or have enough money not to be a burden on the state if im married 3 years. So anybody helps? Thanx a lot

well, i have many things to proove that it was a serious relationship. We were together for 5 years. I have a lot of pictures and everybody from my friends knew her. But the prob is that this last day she is not living with me, we are separated. I really dont know what to do. Will talk to lawyer, will see what he gonna tell me.
I mean 5 years together and almost 3 years married, its gonna be in september 3 years. Will see. Hope its gonna be ok. Its difficult to me even without these things..
You can apply for EU fam on your own right after 3 years, but divorce is a condition and your wife/yourself working/studying you be able to apply. Getting divorce in ireland is a very lengthy process so be preapred for that.
I know, but we are not going to divorce in Ireland. She is from different country and will appy there. Its possible. So will see how its everything gonna be.
