Wife and Stepson - Visit to Southern Ireland

[ynwa]

Hi Last Viking

Did you manage to get a visa for your wife and stepson? If yes, I would like to know some feedback as we are planning to go in September. Thank you.

Hi, I am looking for help on a visit to Southern Ireland. My wife and stepson have indefinite leave to remain in the UK and I want to take them to visit my sister in Co Donegal.

I understand that as my wife is a non-EEA citizen married to a British Citizen she needs a visa to enter Ireland but that the visa is free. What I cannot find is why it is free.
