in this video I'm going to take a look at the Irish immigration system it's
going to be an overview essentially of how immigration to Ireland works bottom
line is if you're a non EU or a non EE a citizen and you want to stay in Ireland
for more than 90 days then you need a visa so before you travel to Ireland
you should check whether you need a visa or not doesn't depend on which country
you're coming from you can go to the department of justice and equality
website you see the details on the screen there and go to a website there's
a calculator there or tool which will allow you to check whether you need a
visa or not you should apply for immigration permission before you come
to Ireland if you're successful you must then register your permission to stay in
Ireland you do not need to register if you do not stay in Ireland for more than
90 days if your application is successful the staff will be put in your
passport and this will indicate the type of permission you've been granted the
various stamps indicate essentially what you can and cannot do in Ireland and how
long you're permitted to stay stamp 0 is a low level information it's the most
basic stamp it allows a person to stay in Ireland for a specific and limited
period of time you must be financially self-sufficient
and you cannot reveal of any state benefits on this permission there are
three types of persons who may qualify for stamp 0 elderly dependent relatives
persons of independent financial means and you're looking at a threshold of
generally 50 thousand per person per year and visiting academics they must be
paid from outside Ireland and work here for less than nine months excluded
categories of persons include individuals who were unlawfully present
in these days individuals who are the subject of a deportation order and
individuals who have been served with notification to deport that's a 15 day
letter in order to obtain a stamp 0 you are playing writing to the residence
division you see the address there on the screen
the type of document document you'll need will be the reason for the request
and the area's connections copy of your passport and so forth Oh stamp zero
contained if you're successful then you'll receive a letter of permission
from the Irish naturalization and Immigration Service and this will
indicate whether information is renewable or not you must also register
at your local immigration office and if information is renewed
you must renew your registration
living with your spouse or family member a partner or child there's a policy it's
a policy document on non e a family reunification the Irish state has a
family reunification policy for Nonnie a person's you need to check that document
it's a very very important one very very useful you get it for free on the
website of the Irish naturalization on the Immigration Service and I I and I
ask often I eat URL that you see on the screen there but this document gives you
detailed guidelines about the operation of the non-iea family reunification
policy it also gives you information about preclearance processing of
applications and fees eligibility requirements for spouse or partner de
facto partner requirements to sponsor family members the financial resources
you must have qualified sponsor family member and dependency elderly dependent
relatives or parents Irish citizen children and parental migration multiple
applications for spousal reunification and polygamy the decision making process
conditions and entitlements change in circumstances general provisions and so
on very important document have a look at it it's free part of it allows or
explains how you can join a husband or a wife or civil partner so marriage
ternary suppose you must understand does not confer an automatic right to live in
Ireland you must apply and fulfil the criteria set out in the policy document
to which I've just referred having an airy civil partner does not
confer an automatic race of residents in Ireland either so in order to apply
there's two broad streams one if you're non-iea national and you're already
legally in the state then you must attend that regard our National
Immigration Bureau registration office with the following documentation your
original marriage or civil partnerships are your original passport you're a
exposés or civil partners original passport and evidence of joint address
if on the other hand you're in the second stream you're a non e and
National but you're living in earned and you're not here legally you must apply
to the address you see on the screen documentation that will be needed you
can see there on the screen the signed up application form an original marriage
or civil partnerships are an original partnership or passport rather and birth
certificate your IRA spouse's or civil partners original passport and birth
certificate and/or disposed if applicable evidence of private medical
insurance in respect of the non national evidence showing that iris powers or
civil partner meets the published financial criteria set out in the policy
document that's why again it's very very important to refer to and review that
policy document revocation or statements P sixties recent pay slips financial
accounts could all be required as part of your application this list is not
exhaustive then you must understand that if there
is an existing deportation order your application will simply not be
considered you must apply to have the deportation order revoked to a
particular office you see it there on the screen and during your application
process you cannot take up employment unless you're on the work premise if
your application is successful you will be permitted to live in Ireland for 36
months and you may be granted a stamp for status which will allow you to
resign and work in the state without the requirement of a work permit
it was also attend with your spouse at your local garden National Immigration
Bureau register offers to be registered as resident in
the state on the basis of being disposed of an Irish national or the civil
partner of an Irish national so there's also a scheme for under five de-facto
long term partner if your partner is a long term de facto partner but not a
civil partner or a spouse then the application is slightly different there
is a scheme the de facto partnership immigration permission it allows genuine
long term schemes to continue long term partnerships or relationships to
continue so what is it de facto partner for the purposes of immigration to
Ireland for the purposes of immigration to Ireland a de-facto partner is
somebody who has been in a committed relationship with the other person and
they have a natural commitment or a mutual commitment rather to a shared
life to the exclusion of all others it's similar to a marriage or civil
partnership in practice or not in law the relationship between them is genuine
and continuing it can be opposite or same-sex they live together or do not
live separately and apart on a permanent basis they're not related by family and
the facto partner to say can be same-sex or opposite-sex there's also a scheme to
allow you to live with your child and application permission to remain in the
state on this basis goes to that particular application or address you
see on the screen there the Irish citizen child application form to
residence unit for I and is balky number two if you're a parent with an existing
right of residency a stamp one or two or three you can go to your local
immigration office to apply to have your stamp upgraded to a stamp 4 and this
will allow you to take up employment which is obviously gonna be a huge
benefit to you in order to live with your child an application you require
your own passport your current Irish residence permit or gni record your
child's Irish passport your child's birth certificate documentary evidence
of your address in the state documentary evidence of your child's address on the
street for example for example a doctor's letter or a
school letter he must also fulfill the criteria of the son Brown or judgment I
haven't written about the zambrano judgment yet I'm going to haven't done
so yet Portia you must fulfil the criteria set out in that judgment if you
do not currently have formation you live in the state you must apply for a right
to reside and work in Ireland applications are considered on a
case-by-case basis having regard to the individual circumstances and information
set out in the application form joining another family member is another part of
this policy of reunification of non-eu non-iea persons your application must be
in accordance with an on e family reunification document again that's free
