    I'm an Irish citizen married to a Canadian citizen, we have a Canadian born son, we live in Canada now but are thinking about moving to Ireland for an extended trip, probably about 12-18 months, what I'm wondering is if my wife needs a special visa to live in Ireland or if she gets to bypass this because we are married?
    I appreciate any advice

    Hi there,

    I really don't think this is the best forum for you to get the answers you might be looking for. You could maybe try the travel forum; on my phone so can't link, sorry. Alternatively, contact a mod; they might know a better place to post.

    Best of luck.

    "You do not need a visa to land in Ireland if:
    • You hold a valid travel document issued in accordance with Article 28 of the Geneva Convention
    • You hold either a valid residence card 4 EU FAM or a valid permanent residence card 4 EU FAM issued under the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) (No. 2) Regulations 2006 (SI 656/2006).
    • You are a family member of an EU citizen and you hold a document called "Residence card of a family member of a Union citizen""

    I am not a lawyer so verify all this yourself before making plans.
