    Good day,

    I hope you will be able to answer my question. I am from South Africa and married to an Irish national, living here in Ireland.

    I would like my 16-year-old daughter, who is currently living with her dad in SA, to come and live with us from September. I have already booked her flight. The legislation, however, is not very clear, and I am struggling to find information on our situation. Most of it refers to adult family reunification and for people applying from outside Ireland. The 2016 policy document does, however, state on p. 30 that ‘A foreign national is either visa required or visa exempt, irrespective of the length of stay or its purpose. As a result, family reunification applications from non visa required persons are made only when the person is already in Ireland’.

    I have read up a lot before and somehow understood that because she is from a non-visa requiring country and get issued the 90 visitors visa on arrival, we then, once she’s here, make an appointment at GNIB and apply for her long-term visa.

    If possible, can you please give me some guidance on the matter.

    Many thanks and much appreciated
