... allows us to live here for 5 years. The Maltese immigration system is very straightforward. Anyone who wants to exercise their EU movement rights should consider here. English is also an official language here which makes it easy to settle into. If anyone has any questions about Malta seperately you can pm me. However, the advice I am looking for now is moving to Ireland. I want to move back home and we will apply for permission to remain under EU treaty rights due to the fact that I can be considered an EU citizen who instead of an Irish citizen (thank ...

... to go through all these government pages on stamp 4's--while you are waiting for your stamp 4, are you allowed to leave the country? I was planning to start the stamp 4 process in June, but I'm the maid of honor for my sisters wedding in October. So, that would be a disaster. Thank you for all the kindness and help here. It's been a massive help on this journey. Once I finish the marriage process, I'll share my experience. (Same for the stamp 4 process.) -Taylor

Hey! Thank you so much! That was very useful. I didn't realize it before--but you're right. My GNIB card does state that I'm on a stamp one. (I never knew that.) And I'm happy to say we're proceeding with the marriage process. (and hopefully the stamp 4 process after.) We've scheduled a marriage interview. So, after going through the process of scheduling an interview--I'd like to amend what I said in my first paragraph. I was under the impression that when you make a marriage appointment, you have to wait 3 months for the appointment. But, I see now you ha ...

Great news!! I received my stamp 0 approval! I submitted my request and documentation in mid-July, so I wasn't expecting the approval until mid/late Oct, at the earliest. But, I'm elated and very relieved and can't wait to get on that plane on 11/1 and start my new adventure in Clifden, County Galway!! This has been a very helpful group and I feel fortunate to have discovered this site nearly 12 months ago! Everyone's input, guidance, recommendations, and support has been so very much appreciated! Thank you everyone!!

Kelsey - great question, thanks for asking it. And thanks too Mairead and David for adding your thoughts. Mairead - I'm looking forward to hearing how your experience goes. I was under the impression that the stamp 4 application was a somewhat lengthy process (multi weeks/months) as opposed to a trip to the Garda station with the relevant evidence to support the application. Kelsey - the INIS website specifically says you cannot work until you have received proper immigration status. "An applicant has no entitlement to enter employment during the applicati ...

... investment differences between IE and US, and worked well with my US investment manager (CFP). His financial presentation met the requirements for the stamp 0 application, and my solicitor found everything in order, compatible with overall application. At the end of the day, my stamp 0 application was submitted on 9 Sep, with written acceptance dated 8 Oct. I think that is good turnaround time, especially with so many offices shut down due to covid restrictions. I wish you great success with your application. It is important to have family together.
