You don't need that.
You just need evidence of cohabitation for atleast 2 years, colour copy of your passport/ID and partner's, proof of residence in Ireland, partner's PSC or PPSN letter, and your one way reserved flight ticket.

This is an emergency can you please answer as fast as you can ?
So the appeal office answered on my appeal they said I need to provide the landlord letter and utility bills in name of my wife, we already provided a letter from her sister stating she is living with her but they asked about tenancy agreement in her name or letter from landlord, also bank statement of everyday transactions which we can provide easily, but there is no gas bill in her name there is only Vodafone bill.
if I provided a letter from landlord and bills from Vodafone and everyday transactions will that be enough ?
if you can add anything please say it. they gave me 7 days to send them documents per email.

If I explained to them that she is living with her sister and provided everyday payments of Tesco etc. that would be enough ?

[silentghost13]

Just hope they will expedite the application. Though some people got theirs 1 - 2 months. Majority are issued by 6 months - 1 year.

If it's urgent best was moving to another EU country then move back to Ireland with your spouse at the same time when she receives her EU- residence card.

Or just be patient.

I just got an answer of refusal of the visa, because I didn't submit the evidence of relationship.
and proof of my wife residing in ireland.
Can you please help me to make the appeal ?

Hi silentghost13,
First of all, I’m sorry to hear that your application was rejected. However, I’m not entirely surprised, as the majority of applications are often rejected on the first attempt, sometimes on unfounded grounds.
That said, if you prepare a strong appeal based on facts rather than emotions, there is a good chance the decision could be reversed, and you may be granted a visa.
I have experience helping many people with their appeals, so if you’re interested, I’d be happy to assist you. Let’s discuss this further in private.

Hello can we speak in private regarding my appeal for the eutr visa ?

Hi Everyone,

I'm the spouse of EU national and we moved to Cork in February 2025. I was on Short Stay Visa C single entry - Join EU Family. I've been following this page for a while and have been so anxious about the EUTR1 process. I need the temporary stamp so I can travel in and out of the country & to find work.

My Timeline
Date of Application sent: 12 Mar 2025
Received DOJ letter asking for more docs: 1 Apr 2025 (letter dated 29 Mar 2025)
Requested docs sent: 3 Apr 2025
Date of Stamp 4 received:
Date of final approval or refusal:
If refused Reason for refusal:

I've also booked my GNIB appt which will be in early June 2025.
I'm not sure if the letter asking for more document is the same as acknowledgement letter, if anyone can share? Will they give me an acknowledgment after I sent further requested docs?
So far we'll have provided ALL the checklist documents.
We have been legally married for 4 years, will they still be asking for more proof later on and what kind? I saw some of the posts they actually asks for more document after receiving temporary stamp?

Thank you in advance.

[Angel99]

@ciaobellaciao.
Hi,

The first letter you received is the acknowledgment.
If they didn't ask for more evidence of relationship then they won't.

Hi All,

I finally got my approval for Irish Residency today. My timeline;

EUTR1A Application: 03/08/2024
EUTR1A Rejection: 15/04/2024
Appeal: 15/05/2024
Approval: 20/12/2024

Only thing I’d like to ask is, on the letter it says since I have never registered any kind of stamp before I need to book appointment at immigration for getting the residency card. The thing is, I’ve already had stamp in Ireland (Stamp 2 twice). In this case should I apply online or still need to book an appointment?

Thank you.

Hi there, could I ask what did you end up doing?
I'm in quite similar situation stamp 2 once and stamp 1G twice. Thanks!

You already have residency in the state so you just renew online with the new permission letter.

Your husband is an "European Union citizen".

I will advise you not to send any documents. EUTR unit will not request for your original passports or request for all the documents again after you have been issued the permission letter and Stamp4EUFAM. They can request for your spouse's employment or proof of residence to check if he is still exercising treaty rights but that's rare. Ignore the letter, make an ISD account and submit a customer query online about the letter you received.

Hey angel thanks for replying
I am confused about that What should i write in my query also i am confused what happens if in the reply of that query they just say to submit the document. Then what should i do. Like the letter clearly state its for my current status in Ireland. Also one more thing we are sharing house with a family and by coincidence they have applied the same application from the same address of eutr1 got the same stamp4 eufam now they have received the same letter as us telling them to submit the same document like passport and other thing I mentioned before. Like i am thinking of reaching out a lawyer but just need advice from you as well Can you help me with this please.
Thank you

Best is the advise I gave above. Reach out to them via customer query online and if they confirm to the request then you send them what they asked for but do not send "original documents nor original passports" (colored copies will suffice).

It could be they are suspicious about your residence.

If you know any of you have committed fraud/deception with address or EU citizen's employment you are likely to have your stamp revoked. If your EU citizen has changed employment you can just give them the new contract plus 2 recent payslips.

All the best.


Write a registered letter to ISD EUTR unit and also a customer query.

Letter =
Your address on right side and under it add
"Your person ID number
Your application number"
(you will find them on your acknowledgement and registration letter)


Date

Dear Sir/Madam,

I was issued Stamp 4EUFam on ******* and I received a letter dated ×××× requesting to submit the following document to your office;
(List what they asked for)



I would like to enquire if it's authentic and the reason for the request.

Yours faithfully,
(Your signature)
(Your full name).


Both families shouldn't use same letter format.

Hello angel thanks for replying
Oh my god thats so concerning like we haven’t done any kind of fraud with eu citizen employment also my husband is living with me since i came in ireland i have also seen that these guys dont tend to reply if i weite a registered post and for the submission for these documents i got only 21 days left what if they don’t reply by that time. What should i do then..?
Please help me with this

[Kindness]

Also angel what if i post them the query and i get a replg from them stating that it is just for general verification then what should i do .?
Help me please .
Thanks

[Kindness]

Also one last thing i forgot to mention that the family moved out months ago but i think they didn’t change their addresses.
Thanks

I have already told you everything on first post.

First send them a registered letter regardless and set up an account and send customer query online. If they confirm to the request, send only colored photocopies. *Do not send original passports/documents it self*

Give it 10 days after sending the letter and query while you prepare the documents they asked for. If they don't reply just send what they asked for. Make sure you have atleast 9 days left from the 21 days left.

***If it was just for address verification they wouldn't ask for all this documents they requested. Just Utility bill would have been enough. (Could be they lost your file/fraud detected or only they can tell).

Good luck!.

Hi,

Visit this site and create an account. You will be able to book an appointment for your first time registration there.

https://portal.irishimmigration.ie/en/


New law: You will also need medical health insurance for your first registration.

"Private Medical Insurance or Travel Insurance with medical cover for accidents and medical incident including hospital stays in Ireland, valid for 12 months, or if less than 12 months – for the duration of your stay. Please bring an original Policy document, in your name for the entire length of your stay".

All the best

[Terry68]

I’m already in the state why do I need travel insurance?
