What do you mean by the Dublin Route??

If you mean by way of securing an Irish Passport and claiming Family Permit as an EEA national/citizen, then I'm sorry to say that you are indeed a few months too late as that particular 'loophole' has been closed since last October 2012.

Now, if you are definitely sure there's no way to reach the £18600 income target within UK, then you may wish to consider physically moving to another EU member state (as a UK citizen) to follow the EEA Route

Have a review of this thread here and see if anything interests you or if you think you could make use of the principle.

Be very sure to follow these important links:-

DIRECTIVE 2004/38/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

The Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations

Free movement for EU citizens and their non-EU family members

Hawk, if you research the links I posted you'll see that the only income requirement for EEA route is that equal to social security payment levels.
So no need to seek out high-paying work.

Good idea to go to Dublin and have a look around

"Off to Dublin in the green" ... as a means of keeping visa sponsors out of the red, eh?

Hawk, there's no specific time period. You just need to be 'established'

To be on the safe side of regulations I would suggest that to be 'established' you should have an address in Ireland (somewhere to live) and a job. That's it.

Take a look here at this link as it gives information on the Qualifying Family Members who wish to JOIN EU Citizen in Ireland.

Hope this link will help you.

Sorry Hawk, I must be having another 'senior moment' as I cannot understand your question.

Can't help with accommodation or work.

Just a head-up hawk, be very cautious about contact and questions to immigration concerning your plans. UK and Ireland have what is called the Common Travel Area (CTA) and WILL attempt to conspire against your strategy in some way.
Read those links you will discover all the answers.

Hi Hawk, I'm just seeing this post now.. are you in Ireland?? how is things going for you?? If you need any other information regarding exercising your treaty rights etc in Ireland under the EU directive I can add you to a facebook group that will give you everything you require. I will be in Ireland next week with my wife we will be travelling together from the Philippines, luckily I've already secured a job. If you need any help, let me know.

... hellish really, the increasing number of obstacles the British Govt's putting in the way of some of our members - and goodness knows how many other couples we're unaware of - whose top priority is to be with their lawfully-wedded partners in a so~called "democratic society".

It truly IS high time SOMETHING was done about it!
