I am Hong Kong passport holder (Chinese) and my Fiance is Irish passport holder. I have been living in Ireland for 3 years and I met him there. We now are going to move to Hong Kong together. Same as a lot of couples here, we also would like to get married and get dependent visa for my Fiance. our conditions are:
– We scheduled marriage registry in hk on 10th June 2025.
– I have gotten a permanent job contract with decent pay in hk (good enough to support two of us), starting 16th June 2025.
– We will secure an apartment and get a rental contract soon before 16th June for both of us to stay. the length of contract is 2 years and the apartment is nice enough for two people to live in.
– We have a joint account to which both of us put monthly savings.
-We have dated for two and half years as of now and got engaged last Aug 2024. We have been cohabiting for more than 2 years now in Ireland, so we can provide immigration with all sorts of necessary proof to show our genuine relationship.
Given all above, I would like to start the dependent visa application one week after our marriage registration. Any potential challenges ?
thanks a mil
Kate
