Where an applicant is the spouse of a non-EEA national who is in possession of a valid work permit and has been in employment for at least twelve months prior to the date of application, it is open to such an applicant resident outside the State, and who is visa required, to apply to their nearest Irish Embassy or Consulate for the appropriate visa.
Each visa application is considered on its individual merits, the onus resting with the applicant to satisfy the Visa Officer as to why a visa should be granted. Comprehensive information on making a visa application is available on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (www.inis.gov.ie).
