    Hi I've been looking everywhere for some answers on this.
    I am a German citizen living most of my life in ireland since I was a child.
    My girlfriend is a non eu citizen studying here on a stamp 2 visa and working part time.
    If we get married in ireland since we are both living togther here, can she automatically get stamp 4 visa or does she have to wait the usual 6 months for it to be approved? I've heard because we already live here and if we get married here it will be given immediately but I don't know if this is true.
    I know I would have to use eu1 form under EU treaty rights instead of the way Irish citizens have to do it.
    So myvquestiin is, once we apply for stamp 4 after getting married, can she still work part time as she does in stamp 2 now? And also would it still take 6 months+ to get approved?

    Thanks

    She will have to apply for a residence card (EU1). If you can show that you are exercising your free movement rights in the State (working, self employed, studying with resources, have sufficient resources) she will be given the temporary stamp 4 pending final decision and if successful she will get a residence card for 5 years.

    It doesnt matter whether you were living together prior to marriage or whether you have been here all your life. It will still take 6+ months to process. She will get the temp stamp 4 pending final decision
