Hi, I find myself in a bit of a dilemma and have no idea where to begin. I am a South African, and my partner who has a Portuguese passport has gotten a job in Ireland. We have not been living together, but have been in a relationship for almost 6 years, and I was wondering if anyone could help me. How can I go about moving there with him? Would it be easier if we got married? Or would that not make a difference? Please help, I have no idea what to do!
Moving from South Africa to Ireland with EU partner.

I'd be keen to know as well. My husband is EU and I'd like to know if we can move there together on his working EU visa.

Hi Vicky.
How did you get on with this? I've got the same kind of situation and want my partner in SA to join me in Ireland. Would be glad if you can share.
Thanks a lot.
