Can anybody advise please ? A friend of mine has a dual UK/ Irish citizenship entitlement. He has a fiancee from the USA. If they marry in Ireland, does his spouse become immediately eligible for the same citizenship as her husband ? Would she be joint holder on his passport or have her own, with Irish citizenship too ? As a US citizen what would be her status and rights to live in Ireland when married to an Irish citizen ?
Answer:
To claim citizenship by marriage to an Irish citizen there are a few conditions to fulfil. These are outlined below:
"You must be married to the Irish citizen for at least 3 years
You must have had a period of one year's continuous "reckonable residence" in the island of Ireland immediately before the date of your application
You must have been living on the island of Ireland for at least 2 of the 4 years before that year of continuous residence
Your marriage must be recognised as valid under Irish law
You and your spouse must be living together as husband and wife
You must be of good character and intend to continue to live on the island of Ireland
You must have made a declaration of fidelity to the nation and loyalty to the State."
You must be an Irish citizen in order to be eligible for an Irish passport
