Ireland’s New Family Rules Explained — Most People Don’t Qualify Anymore

Ireland has introduced major changes to family reunification rules, and these updates are already affecting work permit holders, migrants, and families planning to settle in Ireland.

In this video (Part 2 of this immigration update series), I break down the new family reunification income requirements introduced in late 2025, including:
• How much you must earn to sponsor a spouse or partner
• Income thresholds for sponsoring children (with real figures)
• Why combined household income no longer counts
• Changes affecting dependants aged 18–23
• What work permit holders need to know before applying
