Irish Family Permit!!

[Eljohno]

I am not aware of any laws being broken by going this way as my friend got it after speaking with me then seeking help & advice from a lawyer here.

I do not know everything about it just what i have seen with my friend who has found no problems so far!!

i know if your a british citizen then a family permit doesn't usually apply to you, and i would have thought the gov would not be , as it would be losing out on a wad of

As was said before when living in N.Ireland you can have both an Irish & British passport which my friend does. He only had a British one i think and then when i told him about this option he got an Irish one and seemed to have no problems,

But i agree with an earlier post if you have to wait 5 years before applying for an ILR because your visa is a 5 year one it seems a long time to wait.

Hi guys.
I haven't been posting lately because I am in London until the 6th of april for work, and only managed now to get to a cafe, as my laptop is on the blink at home.

As an EEA National living and working in the Uk I have taken advantage of the EEA Family permit for my wife.
It is a heck of a lot easier to obtain as it would be illegal to deny it ...

On the whole it didn't cost a penny, apart from Jet having to go to Manila for the Finger printing and digital photo.
We waited 6/7 weeks for it to arrive, but it got there in the end.
So if any Irish have the "Right" to a Republic Passport, I strongly recommend to use that route.
I posted enough links on the subject in the past.

Ok I have to get going now.

good to see you've only got 867 posts to go dom.

i thought about trying to do this myself, born in the uk, parents are from lithuania, and i thought of getting a lithuanian passport, and trying that, but seeing i've never been to lithuania, and how can you excerise your treaty rights in the country your born in . i was sure the gov wouldn't allow it. as i said before it states in the info, family permit doesn't normally apply to british citizens.. so i went with the spouse visa

but if people have done it, good for them, but will you have problems in 5years , hope not.
