Irish Family Permit!!

Theorethically and practically you would be entitled to apply for both..... Free of charge for the ILR, not sure about the citizenship.
But we thought that if Jet ever decides to get a new citizenship it will be dual with Italian.... Would save a lot of hassle in future....

free of charge for the ILR well thats 700 to 950 saved

Eh, yeah....... It is a hard life being a foreigner in the UK but someone has to pay taxes.... To allow some of the indigenous population to keep paying for their Sky subscriptions while signing on the dole...

On reflection.... it is a very little return for 34 years of hard work... But better than nothing at all....

Eljono,

Coming from NI may be you can help with this.

I am just about to apply for Spouse visa for my wife and daughter.

Now i was born in NI and have lived there most of my life, however i have been in London for over 10 years and hold a British Passport not an Irish one.
My mother is from Dublin and two of my brothers hold Irish passports.

Should i spend all this money on spuse visa's or should i go the family permit route, can i even apply for it??? having already got a British Passport.

Any ideas

A quick phone call to the Irish Embassy should tell you if you are entitled to apply for an Irish Passport, I guess.
The Family permit route is the best way around, if you can get on the bandwagon.... do it....

Good luck

The more tax payers that actually get something back the better

If your mum is born in Dublin and your brothers have a passport i would think its no major prob to get a paddy passport.

I think it goes back to grandparents when my mum researched this and her gran was born in Ireland so if i could wind the clock back i could have saved over a grand

Actually i am not sure if you have to be living in N.Ireland or just being born here is enough but if you can go the Irish Family Permit way then i think you should to save a lot of money but please do as much homework as possible because my info is from a friend whos wife is going through it and she has just got a 5 year visa but it seems much cheaper and easier.

I agree phone the Irish Embassy to be 100% sure!!
