Want your family to join you in Ireland?

If you want your spouse, partner, child or another eligible family member to come and live with you in Ireland, you may simply think of the process as needing a “family visa”. The correct route, however, can depend on your nationality, your immigration status in Ireland, the family relationship and the circumstances of the person who wants to join you.

Depending on the circumstances, the process may involve a Join Family visa, another family-based immigration permission, EU Treaty Rights or a family reunification route. You do not need to know the exact name of the application before contacting us. We help you identify the route that may apply and understand the requirements and supporting evidence involved.

We can assist with

·        Join Family applications involving Irish citizens.

·        Applications involving eligible non-EEA sponsors living in Ireland.

·        Spouse, civil partner and de facto partner cases, where the relevant route permits.

·        Applications concerning dependent children and other eligible family members.

·        Family applications connected with EU Treaty Rights.

·        Reviewing supporting evidence relating to the family relationship, finances, accommodation and immigration history.

·        Applications where previous immigration circumstances may require closer consideration.

A careful approach to family applications

Family cases can involve much more than completing a form. Evidence of the relationship, the sponsor’s circumstances, financial requirements, accommodation and previous immigration history may all be relevant. Requirements can also change.

We begin by establishing the family relationship and the sponsor’s status in Ireland. We then identify the applicable route and help you understand the documents and information that may be required before an application is submitted.

Family reunification is about more than paperwork

We know that delays or uncertainty can be especially difficult when a family is living apart. Our approach combines careful preparation with clear communication, so you understand the process rather than feeling lost in it.
