    sure theres 10s of 1000s of illegals in this country, they can come in on a "holiday" visa and never leave.

    the GNIB are completely useless. once you get in here, you normally dont ever have to leave for 10 years, then become a "citizen".

    the issue here is that the OPs partner left and when you do that, you never get back in normally, its the same in every country.

    Is this a fact? To become a citizen you must have lived here legally for 5 of the last 9 years. You can't just come here illegally and then decide to become a citizen.

    Regarding getting into Ireland, you usually would have your visa status looked at when entering the EU. Sure, you could come here on holiday and never leave, but you will run into immigration issues sooner or later.
