Why not family Visa, if you are already working in Ireland.

seunny4lif:

Where is your spouse from?
Then I can know what to tell you?
If he is British then you can use not only Ireland but other EU countries to enter.

He is British. I have made an application since March and I am yet to get a decision.

MamaDe:

He is British. I have made an application since March and I am yet to get a decision.

Did you have submitted with your marriage certificate and photocopy of his Passport becos it should be free and takes only 2 weeks.
Tell your man to send an email to them and issue that he will report them to EU commission.
What type of Visa did you apply?

Visiting Visa or family Visa?

Visiting Visa or family Visa?

All the above has been done, and nothing forthcoming. Rather was told such applications are now treated in Dublin, so my application has been transferred there and I confirmed with Dublin that it's with them.
I applied for C-visa as family of an eu citizen.
Do u know anyone who has done this recently and got the visa within 2weeks ?

It is not advisable to use the company bank account. If you are going on holiday then use your personal bank account but
if you are going for company business like conference or business meeting then you can use the company bank statement
plus your personal bank account.

Flange my guy, how you dey? Have you stopped processing Germany?

Hello guys,

As there is no thread for Irish Visit/Tourist Visa in nairaland, i have decided to create this thread for the purpose of gathering information about Irish Visit/Tourist Visa. For those who believe that it is extremely difficult to obtain an Irish Visit/Tourist Visa at the Irish Embassy, i can confirm that it is not difficult to obtain an Irish Visit/Tourist Visa provided that you meet the requirements of the relevant rules by the Embassy of Ireland. If you have a good job in Nigeria, i mean well paying job in Nigeria and working full time and you can prove that, off course you can apply for an Irish Visit/Tourist visa to the Embassy of Ireland in Abuja through the VFS.

I will personally suggest the following documents:

Evidence of any property you own in Nigeria
Evidence of any other investment you own such as shares, e.t.c.

A signed and dated Letter of Undertaking from the person inviting you stating you will observe the condition of your visa.

If you are sating in a hotel accommodation you must provide confirmed hotel booking covering the duration of your stay in Ireland.

Hello
I applied Ireland join spouse of Irish citizen on the 11th of this month but can’t track my application
My husband and I got married 2016 I applied for visit before but withdrew 2days later as my company called me back. I have traveled to Philippines Ghana and Korea all total of 9 travels but on business purpose only. I have now decided to join my husband you have visited me 2 times
My question is do I stand a chance? When can I get a decision? And why can’t I track my application since it’s been 8 working days today

Well I applied for an Irish visa 3weeks ago and was called by the ups courier service that my package is ready with them for collection. Am not around to pick it up yet until next week when am back in Lagos. My question is ..I thought Ireland visa takes 8weeks to process..why did mine take exactly 3weeks. It was received at the embassy on 4th of October 2018 and got a mail that my processed visa has been dispatched from the embassy on 25th October. I hope it's positive news tho..lol..I have traveled well in the past to UK and am married to a UK citizen and resident.
