I am Italian and my wife is Brazilian, we are both currently living in Brazil. We want to move to Ireland and I want to know if she can arrive in Dublin airport without any visa on the passport. We will travel together.
According to what I understood by searching on the internet, she would not need a visa because she's Brazilian and Brazil is in the list of countries that do not visas to travel to Ireland. When we get to Ireland, then we would apply for her residence card.
But even still I'm afraid she can be refused entry at the airport.
Ireland is sounding too easy to be true

Is it really that easy and simple for her to enter Ireland at the airport, even the purpose of the trip is to live together with me? No hassle and no bureaucracy (and no visa)? So then Ireland is easier than the UK?
She has never lived outside Brazil and she doesn't have a residence card or visa from any EU country.
Thanks for the help!
