Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service
13/14 Burgh Quay
Dublin 2

Four Immigration Helplines are available:

Enquiries regarding :

  • Spouse/Partner or family member (non-EEA) of an EU National 

Due to a large volume of EU Treaty Rights ( EUTR ) applications and in an effort to provide an efficient service to applicants, the EUTR Helpline is suspended for the foreseeable future. Most of the enquiries to the Helpline relate to when decisions will be made in individual applications. Applications are processed in chronological order of receipt  and you can expect a decision six months after you have submitted your fully completed application along with the required documentation. Incomplete applications will not be registered on receipt. Incomplete applications are those not accompanied by the required documentation.

Should you have queries other than the above, please email them to eutreatyrights@justice.ie. Please do not email enquiries not relevant to your EUTR application to this email address. Please only use this email address for matters relating to residence of non EU and non EEA qualified/permitted family members of EU citizens who are currently exercising their EU Treaty Rights in this State in accordance with EU Directive 2004/38/EC and SI 656/06 as amended.
