I have been in contact with Immigration Ireland and Citizens Information both of whom have told me that the new Portal is not working perfectly so many people are having difficulty with it

Was your April 2024 application made online or did you submit all the documents in paper form.
I understand the new Immigration portal is not working as well as expected so any information you see online may not reflect the reality of your application.

I filled in the online form to submit to the DOJ online.
My partner has registered an account on the portal and we are now trying to submit the application form with supporting documents online but there does not seem to be any option to do this.
Any help is appreciated.

My Filipino partner would like to apply for a tourist visa in the hope of coming here soon so as to meet my mother before she dies.

I have re-read the earlier replies and we are now considering applying for a visa/work permit based on her qualifications and experience as a Carer. My daughter, of course, would just accompany her as an Irish Citizen.

Thanks.

My partner and mother of our Irish citizen child will apply for a visa based on the nearly 2-year-old's need to be with her mother while living in Ireland. I would appreciate any advice on the type of visa my partner should apply for. Thank you

Thank you Littler. I am aware of the fact that our being married won't mean she can get a visa to accompany me here as I am in receipt of state benefits and even if I did earn €40,000 per year I understand I need to show that I have been earning at least this amount for 3 or more years. I am hoping s ...

What do you mean by'You do not need to register your child on the FBR'? I do not know what FBR stands for.
I will ask my partner to contact the Consul General in Manila.
