So far, the embassies of the UK, Malta, Czech Rep, Latvia, Hungary and this morning Lithuania have told me that my wife can get a visa at the entry point into their respective countries. I am still looking for explanations from other member States. The Belgians and Dutch sem to think that the Stupid ...
The fact that the Irish government will not issue what is called an EU FAM residence permit to the non-e.u spouse Are you able to name any EU country that is issuing, in respect of applications under its own immigration laws (rather than EU laws) the sort of Residence Card that is needed? As far as ...
Hi guys, thanks to both of you for trying to provide info to me (and others) personally I think you both and everyone else on this forum are doing a hell of a job! It's great to have a place like this to discuss, argue and exchange ideas...a good place to bounce ideas off one another too! Anyway ...
The UK does the same thing as Ireland. It only issues Residence Permits under EU law to the non-EU spouses of EEA citizens. It does not issue them to the non-EU spouses of UK citizens UNLESS they are returning to the UK after living in another EEA state (the latter only as a result of the Surinder ...
Unbelievable! Well, thanks for the info anyway. As far as I can see that still does not affect my wifes entry into another e.u state, in so far as she can still get according to the directive a visa at the entry point into the other member state and does not have to get a visa before she leaves ...
I have just sent this letter to the Lithuanian embassy in Dublin: Dear Sir/Madam, Further to the email which I sent to you earlier today I would like to say that I have looked into the matter further and I have now definetly established that until such time that the Irish government allows the ...
I am correct am I not? Or have I lost the plot?!!! From what I can see Stamp 4 is a residency card too. Just as Stamp 4 EU FAM is also a residency card. The directive says "residence", it does not say EU FAM, yes...but Stamp 4, no.... Any info or opinions most welcome. Thanks. As previously ...
My wife has a 5 year Stamp 4 immigration card, isn't this long term residency? The Migrant Rights Centre have written under section Long Term Residency "If granted long-term residency, you must bring your reply letter from the DoJELR to the GNIB or local immigration officer and ask them to change ...
Hi, we are wondering? I'm Irish, my wife is Russian. We got married in the UK in 2004, we were living in Ireland at the time and still are but went upto N.I to marry--its faster and easier. My wife was issued a Stamp 4 about 2 weeks later (in Cork) valid for 5 years (until 2009) She also got a multi ...
Mr.Frattini seems worried about attracting new immigrants... http://euobserver.com/9/24761/?rk=1 Lets complain that immigrant spouses who are already here in Ireland are facing a tough time and are being kicked out by the Irish government. Here's the link to the website of the Vice President in ...

This is the problem you face with EU law, it's there in black and white but the folks on the desks don't know the rules. If it were me, I'd prefer to pay the fees (even when supposedly free) and have the correct visas at all times, cos a holiday for me is to free myself from stress, not add to it ...
