📢 IMPORTANT UPDATE – FAMILY REUNIFICATION IN IRELAND
The Irish Government has introduced new financial requirements for Irish citizens sponsoring a spouse, civil partner, or de facto partner under Category A of the Family Reunification Policy.
From 12 June 2026, Irish sponsors must demonstrate gross earnings of at least €75,000 over the previous 3 years, replacing the previous €40,000 requirement.
Key points:
✅ Gross earnings of at least €75,000 over the previous 3 years
✅ Applies to spouses, civil partners, and de facto partners of Irish citizens
✅ Only the Irish sponsor’s income is considered
✅ The sponsor must not have been mainly reliant on State supports from the Irish State for a continuous period of two years or longer immediately prior to the application
✅ Applies to applications received on or after 12 June 2026
✅ Supporting financial evidence must be provided
If you’re planning a family reunification application, it’s important to understand how these changes may affect your eligibility.
