Kelsey, To answer your last question, Yes, that is what other's have done also. Here's more info on it There are two routes in which a non EEA national can apply for permission to reside in the State on the basis of marriage or civil partnership with an Irish national. A). If you are a non visa required national who has entered the State legally within the last 90 days or if you are a visa required national and you are within the period of permission to remain granted to you on arrival in the State (except short stay ‘c’ visas):, or if you have current permission to remain in the State on an alternative basis both you and your Irish national spouse/civil partner should attend at your local Garda National Immigration Bureau Registration office with the following documentation: Your Original marriage/civil partnership certificate Your Original passport Your Irish spouse’s/civil partner’s Original passport Evidence of your joint address source:

... (in Ireland) to my Irish-national soon-to-be husband. I have never been in Ireland on more than a 90 day regular visa. I have never been, and won't be, granted any other type of visa. I'm looking for some clarification from the information I have found online and am hoping that someone who has personally gone through this process can help me out! It looks like an individual can be granted permission to remain in Ireland, but is not entitled to a right of residence. One must apply for permission to remain - makes sense. Under the "how do I apply section," ...

I noticed there is a lot of information regarding couples marrying in Ireland. What about couples who were married before moving to Ireland? What would be the procedure for the non-EEA member then? I'm American (so non visa required) and my spouse is Irish. We met and got married in the US a few years ago and have been living here ever since. We're planning to move to Ireland in the next couple of months and would like to plan ahead. According to the INIS website, the foreign national and their Irish national spouse would attend at the local Garda National Immigration Bureau Registration office with 4 items: -Their Original marriage certificate-Their Original passports- Evidence of joint address My questions are:1. Are there any other necessary items the website failed to mention? Birth cert maybe?2. What would constitute an acceptable evidence of joint address,especially if the couple is sub-leasing or staying with a family member?3. Would the couple need to return to the Garda office for an interview orany other procedure after the initial registration date and before theapplication can be approved?4. How long does it normally take this sort of application (US citizenmarried to an Irish national) to process?5. If the application is approved, how long is the permit valid for I've been trying to contact the INIS and Garda offices all over Ireland for answers, but to no avail. The INIS will not deal with "general immigration queries" and the Garda office lines are always busy. Thanks in advance to all you wonderful folks, Joey.

Good afternoon everyone! I WAnt to share my experience, and perhaps get some input from others, of the process of getting married to an Irish Citizen as a non-EU Citizen (in my case, I'm American). This is a lengthy post, and a lengthy process. So, here we go! Ireland requires a three month advance notification to your local Civil Service Registration office. This notice can be done online here: Civil Registration Service You put in your name, some other basic info, and choose a date/time in which you will meet the Registrar. When you make the appointment ...

Hi everyone, Is there an accountant (or similar expert, or website) you'd recommend to give me an advice session (possibly one-off, possibly for longer term relationship, I'd pay for it either WAy) on US - Ireland tax considerations for a working-in-Ireland American? I'm a US Citizen in a "critical skills" occupation. My wife is too. I'm considering pursuing some Ireland-based employment opportunities, but WAnt to get a good picture of what I'd be in for tax-wise. The general hypothetical scenario is I'd be working for an Irish firm on the appropriate ...

... a 12-hour journey across the Atlantic. I thus broke up travel plans, as follows: Domestic: United Airlines charged $125 pet fee to book flight, nonstop, from SMF>EWR. Motel 6 offers pet-friendly lodging near EWR. International: Delta booked my cat, in-cabin, and provided dimensions for pet carrier as required for the air CRAFT type. I returned to my reservations and found NOTHING about my cat, etc. When I called Delta, a note had been added to my reservation that NO IN-CABIN travel allowed for my cat. Cancelled entire reservation, with promise to write ...

The only follow up questions we received with our Original submission WAs regarding a few further details about our health insurance. We were just approved for our third consecutive year and the last two filings were very straightforward. Best of luck and I’m confident it will go well for you. John"

I’ve read of few who have engaged a solicitor for the Stamp 0 application process. It is pretty straight forward. The one item not on the INIS list that they did request of me after submission WAs my birth certificate. You may consider including a copy of it; if they need an Original you can follow up. I will be interested to see others experience or suggest here.
