... to be stamped with a stamp 4 granted all documents are ok (we have them all ready to go). I contacted the local immigration officer earlier today (and I have shared emails with him before), and he has said that since she will arrive in the country on a tourist basis initially, he will not be able to stamp her with a stamp 4. Instead we will need clearance by sending details to the 'spouse of an irish national unit', but I'm afraid of how long that will take. Alternatively, he suggested leaving and re-entering the Country after marrying, we would be stampe ...

Hope someone with recent experience can give you help with a lot of your questions. I looked at stamp 0 beginning 4-5 years ago and learned a few things that you should take into consideration. 1) The rules state that income requirements are net. But there is no definition of net in the rules. 2) Yes, your financials have to be completed by an Irish accountant. Maybe one can answer your question of net vs. gross income. 3) The rules state that you have to be present in Ireland when you apply for a stamp 0. But I am not sure if this is a hard and fast rule ...

@Liam I opened the Ulster bank account when I was working in Dublin back to 2007. I was holding stamp 1 at that time, and thus I could open a bank account. I am not sure if they have changed the policy now. Actually, INIS just reinstated my GNIB card, they even used my old stamp 1 photo on my stamp 0 card! When I renewed my PSC last year, the officer asked me why not reinstated my status in Ireland as I have everything such as PSC, Irish driver license, Ulster bank account etc. I was even a tax payer in the State. That's why I applied for stamp 0 from ...

... and stay together. I read somewhere, though I can't remember where, that after we have the marriage certificate, we take it to INIS and they stamp my passport with a stamp 4. But I was reading in another board that some people had to send off of a card to stamp. My question is, what is the difference between the stamp and the card, and is there a difference in the processing timeline?

Liam - I thought I'd provide a copy of an email I received today about since it reflects the possible cost for assistance with preparing/confirming financial information for the stamp 0 application. I know Quintas has been mentioned in previous posts, but thought I'd provide their reply since it's current, especially the fees and contact information. I do have another request for service information and fees out to James O'Donovan of O’Donovan Lavin Accountants and will post any information that he provides. I hope the following is helpful. Thank you! ...

stamp 0 is more likely a visitor visa which allow you to stay more than 90 days, and you have to tell them your expected leaving date on the application. It is one of the criterias for stamp 0, which I learnt in March when I followed up with them. stamp 0 duration is based on your expected arrival date and leaving date.

... immigration station close to you get your husband registered the process there takes less than 20 mins they will ask for your marriage certificate and tenancy agreement, it took me 10 days in total including weekends because I Iive outside Dublin the card is issued in Dublin and application also processed in Dublin so they will tell you 2 weeks for his immigration card stamp 4. When your husband collect his stamp 4 card which is valid for 3 years thats when they can stamp his passport with the stamp 4. For spouses of Irish nationals we can apply for our pps ...

Like Kate said @Carrie if you are accompanied by your husband the immigration officers won't give you a problem just make your intentions known that you moving here. It makes it easier if your stamp in your passport says joining spouse at the Airport. I think the procedure is the same. In my case my wife is a dual citizen she is irish/british. At the Airport we used her irish passport and my South Africa passport told the immigration officers we moving here and my passport was stamped with 90 days and on the stamp it said joining spouse. We read too much onl ...

Hi John, I thought this was an interesting question, and looked at my files. I looked at my initial approval letter, all it says is to sign the document, and send it in with the passport via registered post. I applied for my stamp 0 from inside Ireland. As soon as I arrived in Ireland in 2019, I posted all my documents. Coming from the US you are permitted to stay in Ireland up to 90 days. I received the approval within that timeframe. Once you send in your passport - it is stamped with a one year date - thus if they send your passport back in Sept ...
