EU treaty Rights

    As a Nigerian citizen residing in Poland, I recently moved to Ireland with my Polish wife, who has been here since January exercising her EU treaty rights. I joined her in March after waiting several months for my EU treaty visa from Poland. I submitted my application with all the required documents to the EU Treaty Rights Department almost a month ago but have yet to receive an acknowledgement.

    Could anyone advise on the next steps, how things are typically handled, and the expected timeline for feedback? Your insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    According to their website it can take up to six months for a decision to be made but you can email the address in the link with your details for an update on your application status. Scroll to the FAQ section for more info.

    By law it's supposed to take no more than six months for the Minister to issue a decision, but unfortunately in practice it's taking a fair bit longer than that these days.

    Hii , We have experienced the same situation , what will happen that after 6-8 weeks from submitting your application you will receive an acknowledgement letter that will give you a temporary permission to stay in the state with validity 6 months (Stamp4)( which will allow you to work even if you want ) until your application is totally processed . The final decision on your application (Stamp 4 EUfam) will take 6 months exactly starting from the day you submitted the application in this whole period they might send you a post asking for more details or more evidence that your status is the same as when you submitted the application.
