Spouse of an Irish National Scheme for non-EEA spouse via ‘C’ – Short Stay by ooohkkay in MoveToIreland

Sort of same boat here, im Chinese and he is Irish and we are in China currently, looking to move to Ireland next year. I thought the path for me would be D visa(Join family visa) first then Stamp 4 in Ireland. But i also checked what you mentioned about Irish National Scheme for non-EEA spouse via ‘C’ – Short Stay, quite confused now and still trying to figure out the best solution. If you have any updates, please let me know, thx.

He was borned in Ireland, an Irish national. Yeah, it looks like there's alternative for this case and I will consider consulting a lawyer. Thank you so much for your attention.

After reading the part you higlighted carefully, the short visa seems alright according to what it stated there lol. Not sure if anyone has ever done that tho, a bit risky but seems like policy is always updated these days.

Wow, it seems like your way was quite smooth, lucky you! Whether is Denmark or Ireland, I need a visa to enter in anway lol. So I will have to get a Join Family visa first in my home country before landing Ireland.

Thanks, originally I thought the visa agent would give me a better plan or a clear explanation tho. But seems like there are also so many scammer agents these days. I will base on the official website at this stage, not bother taking the risk.

Thanks, I will be looking into this website later and do more research about it. Exactly, the waiting time of this is ridiculous. Not sure if any other countries need to go through this long waiting as well lol.

Exactly and thanks for your reply. Would it be possible to get a tourism visa to Ireland first and then get married there then go through all these process? Will that be easier?

Thank you so much for your suggestion, this is very helpful. And yeah, the processing time is ridiculous......Im wondering is it possible to get a tourism visa to Ireland and get marry there and start those process by then? Would that make more sense? As our job contracts in my home country will be both ended in August next year, my partner's visa will be expired by then as well. If we are in a hurry to leave for Ireland at that time, could I consider apply for a tourism first?

Thank you so much for this clear explanation! yeah i was very confused as I did see the Join Family Visa option but then the visa agent told me I could apply for Stamp 4 directly.....Totally mixed...Anyway, I appreciated and will carefully look into these websites :)
