My live-in partner would like to know if she requires a visa. She has a 3 year UK partner visa which on which she is entitled to work in the UK. She is in full time employment. So, does she need a visa or is she in any way exempt? I'm asking because the waiting time for a visa is too long currently.

Hello Jeremy,

Thanks for getting in touch. As visa requirements can depend on a person’s nationality, immigration status and the type of UK permission they hold, the Irish Immigration Service would be best placed to advise on your partner’s specific circumstances.

I'd recommend contacting them directly with details of her Filipino passport and UK partner visa. They can confirm whether she needs an Irish visa or if any exemption applies, as well as provide the most up-to-date information on current processing times.

Regards,
Eoin
