Do all non-EEA nationals have to register?

No. Certain groups of people do not need to register. For example, children under 16 who are non-EEA dependants of EU nationals and seafarers whose ship remains at port in the State and who do not land in the State for discharge. If however you are a spouse or dependant of an EU national, and you are entitled to stay in Ireland under the [broken link removed] (pdf), you will still need to register and obtain an Immigration Certificate of Registration. Your certificate will have a special stamp indicating your residence status under these Regulations. This will exempt you from a visa requirement on travelling into the State. In other words, this eliminates the requirement for a re-entry visa in these cases.
