applying for stamp 4 - documents needed / visa extension

tatsplat

Hi everyone, I'm planning to marry my boyfriend in February, he currently has a Stamp 2 Visa, it expires mid February. My questions are: if we take the documents saying that we have given notice of intention to marry to Immigration could he get an extension on his visa? Other question: what documents exactly do we need to apply for Stamp 4? We've been living together but we let a room from someone else so don't have our names on a contract, should we try to sort this out before applying? What else might we need?
Thanks

Started getting a lot of documents together, he (eventually) will need at least 5 different proofs of address per year, if/when he does to apply for citizenship.

He is Brazilian. I'm part Irish but actually here working/living with an Italian citizenship (my mum.) Not sure if it makes a difference.

No. Intention to marry won't work as a basis to extend his stay. The purpose of Stamp 2/2A is to study. End of study = end of stay. Iintention to marry and being married are not the same. If you wish to live together in Ireland you have to get married first and then he will need to apply for a permission to stay as spouse of an Irish citizen. Read the INIS website. It covers all this extensively.

Are you a dual (Italian/Irish) citizen, or just Italian ?

Actually I'm a dual British/Italian citizen because I was born in England. My dad is half Irish, my granddad was born here and went to work there. My British passport expired but I won't renew it - Brexit - I have my Italian national ID for the minute which allows me residency/travel in EU. Then I might get my Italian or Irish passport. Someone told me it was better for my fiance to apply for STAMP4 on the basis of me being Italian rather than Irish. Something like, you only need to renew every 5 years rather than every year.

I also heard from my cousin that he could apply for Stamp 1 if he found a job in his area (he is in mechanical maintenance, industrial machines) but every time he's had an offer, at the end they've said they needed someone with Stamp 4.

"Ireland
British mongrrls and their non European illegal immigrant pets don't belong in Ireland. Feck off home to the UK. You subhumans are neither needed nor wanted in our homeland.

Get the feck out of our country. Ireland for the Irish!"

Private message received from someone on the boards here. I didn't think people like this existed in this day and age. I cried.

IF you are in a relationship for 2 years you can apply for a stamp 4 under defacto relationship. you do not have to get married for a stamp 4. You have to prove you are living together for at least a year and that the relationship is long term.
