What paperwork would I need to live and work in Ireland for a year

What paperwork would I need to live and work in Ireland for a year?
And if I married an Irish citizen, would that make it legal for me to stay there? I got offered a job in a real estate office of someone I used to date long-distance. It sounds like fun to live there for awhile so I was just thinking it over. Also what would I need to do to go to school there?

No, marriage to an Irish person wouldn't make it legal to live in Ireland, but it would make it easier. I doubt very much you'll get a work permit based on getting offered work in an estate agent's in Ireland, as they aren't doing a whole lot of business at the moment. And NEVER refer to university as school anyplace in Europe. You finish with school at age 18 or 19. If you are over 24 years of age, you can apply to study as a mature student (call the Admissions office and find out what documentation you'll need), but you need to realise that as a US national, you'll be paying a LOT for the privilege, a few thousand per year is the norm. Still though, that's not a whole lot compared to the extortionate amounts charged by American universities.

America uses a different voltage as standard for their electricity (They're 110V we're 240V) so I don't think it will work. I might be wrong as I've never tried it. Try giving the supplier an email to check before purchasing.

You apply through the CAO office (http://www.cao.ie/) {Central Applications Office). Usually you are awarded a certain number of points according to your Leaving Certificate results (second level qualification in Ireland, sort of equivalent to A-levels). If you haven't done a Leaving Cert the equivalents are here - http://www.cao.ie/index.php?page=scoring . After that it's just a matter of finding a course that you think you can get enough points for. Most bachelor degrees are three years, science and engineering tend to be four years. Ummm, what else? Trinity College Dublin is probably the most recognised university outside of Ireland but I'll put in a recommendation for UCC (University College Cork) just because I think it's great. Not sure what else you need to know really?

Can I use my british passport to work in Ireland

Can I use my british passport to work in Ireland?
OK..I was born in Canada and hold a Candian passport. My parents were actually both born in England. If I apply for a british/UK passport can I move to the Republic of Ireland and work and live as long as I want? I read somewhere that because they are all part of the EU that anyone with an EU passport can work anywhere within the EU countries. Does that count if I get a UK passport and want to live in Ireland?

1 :
You're certainly correct. The UK is indeed an EU country, and accordingly eligible to work indefinitely in Ireland. I am not familiar with the details of your eligibility for a British passport. I would guess you would need to declare citizenship by a certain age (18?) Good Luck!
2 :
Me too. My dad strongly suggested when I reached 18 to obtain and keep renewing my Britsh passport. Also, it's a heck of a lot easier to get through European customs with that passport. As a child of a British-born citizen (not subject, citizen) you are a British citizen too, with the same rights as someone born there - except your children won't be British unless they are born there. (Be careful. Funny rules apply depending on how old you are. IIRC, sometime in the 80' they change the rule; if you were born before that it was that your father had to be a British citizen, and your parents married. Look it up on Wikipedia - it's confusing) As a member of the EU, your British citizenship confers the right to live and work anywhere in the EU.: I find this on the web: Residence: All EU citizens have the right to reside in another Member State, provided they can show that they either intend to work, or can support themselves and have sickness insurance. Which leads to this info: European citizens can, mutatis mutandis, move between Member States on similar terms as nationals of a Member State moving around or changing their place of residence inside their own country. European citizens have the right to enter, reside and remain in the territory of any other Member State for a period of up to three months simply by presenting a valid passport or national identity card: no other formality is required. If they intend to remain for a period exceeding three months, a residence permit must be obtained. The conditions for granting a residence permit depend on the status of the citizen (employed or self-employed person, student, retired or inactive person). Any EU citizen can take up an economic activity in another Member State either as an employed or self-employed person. In this case, he/she will be issued a residence permit by simply presenting an identity document (passport or ID) and proof of employment or self-employment. If a citizen wants to reside in another Member State without exercising any activity or to study, he/she can do so provided he/she can prove (and in the case of students, declare) that he/she has sufficient financial resources not to become a burden for the host Member State's social assistance system and that he/she is covered by a sickness insurance policy. He/she must also prove that he/she has sufficient financial resources and sickness insurance for each member of his/her family who is entitled to reside with him/her. Family members, irrespective of their nationality, have the right to accompany and establish themselves with a european citizen who is residing in the territory of another Member State. Family members who can enjoy rights under Community law include the spouse, minor (under 21) or dependent children, and dependent ascendants, though in the case of students only the spouse and dependent children enjoy this right. If the family members are not EU citizens, they may be required to hold an entry visa by the Member State where they intend accompany the EU citizen. They shall be granted this visa free of charge and with all facilities by that Member State. ----- So you may want to move to Britain first and get registered as a member of thei National Health system. That's a whole separate question. Apparently you move to somewhere in Britain, declare your intention to live there, and apply with a local doctor (?) for National Health coverage. Also note from the info above that your non-British spouse can live with you, but doesn't automatically have the right to work as well.
3 :
If you have a British passport you can indeed work without a visa in Ireland, as well as most other EU countries (the more recent members haven't completely integrated their systems).

You apply via the Irish Embassy, it would be easier if you had a job offer before you applied. As things currently stand the Irish economy is going rapidly downhill, employment is increasing every day & Irish college graduates are preparing to leave the country. There are restrictions on who can or cannot get a visa - if you had an exceptional skil//talent/job that is rare or no one else could do but is vital to the Irish economy it would be helpful. As things stand Irish employers must show that they been unable to find someone to do a job in the Republic before they can offer it to someone else. This link is from an Irish website & will tell you everything you need to know about moving to the Republic of Ireland http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/moving-country/moving-to-ireland If you have a parent or grandparent who was born in Ireland, you could be eligible for Irish citizenship and could apply for an Irish passport that would get you around the need to apply for a visa & it would also allow you to move freely through the EU. If you have an Irish parent or grandparent, if you have a parent who is a citizen of an EU member state (and they haven't renounced their citizenship), you could see if you qualify for citizenship/passport through them.

So you should have no trouble. Just apply for the passport first. One thing i just thought off is Dual citizenship. I am not sure if you can have dual citizen ship ie canadian an UK. You should check this out by ringing the irish embassy in canada and explaining your situation, dont worry they are only glad to help.

http://www.movetoireland.com/movepag/workperm.htm Maybe that will help clear it up some. To be perfectly honest you're going to be lucky to get a job in Ireland at the moment, even a part-time one. Most college students are struggling to find jobs, those that do have jobs are getting taxed a very large amount despite being students. The entire country is in a state of economic disruption right now. That's not to say you shouldn't go there to study, but I personally wouldn't unless you have enough savings to both pay for education AND cover your living costs, because most likely you'll get there and not be able to find work.
2 :
If you're over here on a student visa, and are caught working, you could be deported. As an American, you're not allowed to work here while a student. Contact the Irish Embassy in your own country to find out how you would be legally able to work here in Ireland, and don't be too disappointed if they don't tell you what you want to hear.
3 :
There are no jobs in Ireland ok, not for adult Irish & EU nationals let alone 16 year old American kids. The country is bankrupt and we have around 430,000 adults are out of work right now. Around 1000 young people are week are leaving Ireland to find work in Canada and Australia, things are very bad here. My son is nearly 18 and hasn't a hope of getting a part time job while he is studying and neither do you I'm afraid.

http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/travel_and_recreation/travel_to_ireland/student_visas.html Students from a non-EEA country who are registered with their local immigration officer may be permitted to work part-time in Ireland (up to a maximum of 20 hours a week and full-time during vacation periods) to support themselves. To be permitted to work you must be attending a full-time course of at least a year leading to a recognised qualification (recognised qualifications include those issued by the Dublin Institute of Technology, the universities, FETAC and HETAC). The Department of Education and Skills has compiled a 'Register of Programmes Recognised by the Minister for Education and Skills for purposes of student access to employment'. The Register of Programmes is divided into two parts: 1. Programmes in a range of disciplines offered to students in third-level and further education colleges that lead to qualifications validated under the National Framework of Qualifications or a similar awarding body in another jurisdiction or qualifications validated by a professional body with a basis in Irish law 2. English language programmes that are approved by the Department of Education and Skills on the basis of the Advisory Council for English Language Schools (ACELS) inspection scheme. The academic year is considered to be 25 weeks (rather than 52 weeks) so courses of this length can qualify for inclusion on the register. * - - * - - * - - * From the above, it looks like you won't qualify to be able to work, as at age 16 you are unlikely to be doing a course leading to a recognised qualification. Even then, jobs are very hard to find, but if your family friend runs a business or has contacts, you may hear of something. The website above has links which will explain what you need to do re visas and permits.

The first step, of course is to get passports. Then secure jobs and apply for visas. Your employers will have to help you find a place to live, unless you have other sponsors. If you have a job and a place to live, you will more than likely get approved for your visa.
2 :
Unemployment in Ireland is high, but of course this depends on your professions/experience. Property isn't cheap, but this also depends on where you live now, and the cost of living you have now. As for visas/work permits, well this also depends on your profession and how "useful" you are! It would be easier to get a one year visa, and see how things go! Good luck!

Well socially Dublin is out of this world. Don't know if that is going to make you happy though!! Dublin has got a very strong economy right now so jobs are easy to find and you will both have the time of your life!!
2 :
For her, a "good" job will be hard to find because of her lack of third level education....thats very important in Ireland, because we are heading into an economic recession (i dont know what "curiouscanadian" is on about!!! The economy is definitley NOT strong at the moment - anyway!, what does she know, shes from Canada lol....) Anyway, if possible, she should go to University...athough that would be difficult and very expensive for you since youre not an EU resident. Alternatively, she could do a course in a "furthur education college" (such as B.I.F.E but theres many more) which do short PLC courses (one to three years) I think she should seriously consider this if she wants a decent long-term career here I really think it is worth her while.....and she'll meet people her own age Of course, if she just wants an "unqualified" job, (you can work from the age of 16) she'll get a job as easily as anyone else her age Ireland is definitley a "young peoples country" There is a LOT of underage drinking here so you probably dont want her getting into that lol However it is quite enevitable, since it is true we have a very strong drinking culture (just warning you!) Its a shame she isnt going to school here....because it would have been a great opportunity to meet people her age. I think she should join a club.....tennis, football, hockey - whatever shes into......just so she can make friends Good luck!!!!!!!! xxxxxx

Dublin is brilliant, I am from Belfast but had to live there for a year while at work placement in uni. Socially its amazing, like a million times better than Belfast! There is a lot of drinking involved but I found it wasn't as vulgar as in Belfast. It was just about having fun not getting pissed as quickly as you can. Dublin, you just can't beat it!!!
4 :
well, unless she plans to go to college, she will find it very hard to get a job in Ireland. But she probably could get a job in a supermarket? Again, socially might be a bit of a problem, as most young people would be in college, and socialise there. Also as she is 17, she will not be allowed into any pubs or clubs - and thats really all there is to the social scene. And as a side note, the ecomony is NOT that strong and it is VERY hard to find even a summer job!
5 :
Well your daugher is going to find it difficult to get a decent job. Its actually almost harder for Nationals to work in a "non-skilled" job seeing as some employers want to get more bang for they're buck,depends if english is your first language and depending on nationality, like if your eastern european; you'll make friends in no-time.But she would want to join a social club or something to bide the time!!

First of all I really hope you enjoy it. She should find it easy enough to get a job...people on here are talking crap. Yes Ireland is going into a recession but this is compared to a golden era for the irish economy. In contrast to other nations Irelands economy is and still is very strong. A lot of new stores open everyday, and by 2009 the building of a massive shopping centre in Dublin on the main st. will create a lot of tertiary employment.

I'm twenty just finished my degree and I can't even find part time work in supermarkets.
9 :
around dublin it will be all retail work, socially she will be fine, if shes really interested in mixing her social life with work tell her to apply as an aprentice hairdresser in something like petermarks, the money wont be great at first but she will build a social life from it.

How can I get a work permit to work in Ireland

How can I get a work permit to work in Ireland?
I am 22 years old here on a visitor's visa. I do not have my college degree yet, but I want to attend school here in Ireland eventually. I am almost done, but right now I would like to work. What companies do you think would be open to sponsoring an American to work for them and to take care of my working permit? I have already applied for my PPS number and am waiting for it. I don't know what to do. I have submitted my resume to jobs.ie.

If you're entitled to a PPS number then you must be an Irish citizen or an EU citizen so you dont need a permit. You just get a job in the same any Irish person does, you just send out your CV and go to interviews. Try joining a recruitment agency too, they can be useful in finding temping jobs to get you going while you look for something more permanent.

CPA = Certified Public Accountant It is going to be relevant to US tax laws and accountancy. The Irish situation could be very different and you may need extra study here before you would be suitably qualified for accountancy work in Ireland. There is a Contact Us link at http://www.cpaireland.ie/displaycontent.aspx?nodeid=81&groupID=81&parentID=0 They would know for sure.

you will need to study accountancy here
3 :
Just want to be sure you know that you must have an employer and a work visa BEFORE you go to Ireland...and unemployment is very high there. Ireland belongs to the European Union and all citizens of all other E.U. countries may live and work there without a visa...putting people , like Americans, who do need a via at the end of a line of millions. Employers are required to offer jobs to E. U. citizens first so, it is nearly impossible to get a work visa there.
4 :
Unless you have a job already lined up in Ireland, I wouldn't go there. You have to get the job offer in writing first, and the potential employer has to prove that there are no suitably qualified local or EU nationals available that could do the job before you would get your residency/work permit. And as there are lots of suitably qualified people out of work in Ireland, I don't fancy your chances at the moment. Maybe in a few years you'll have some luck, but I think that now you would only be wasting your time.

In another question you mention that you're of Scottish descent, if your parents or grandparents were Scottish, it might be worth exploring whether or not you could get a British passport that would enable to live & work in the Republic of Ireland without the need for a visa. However, if you do need a visa to work & live in the Republic of Ireland I would strongly advise you to seek one out, if you could get work illegally you leave yourself vulnerable to exploitation & if you get caught and you're deported it will have an impact on any plans you might have to settle elsewhere in Europe or the UK.

If you want to get a job here your goin to have to have atleast some form of higher education qualification and even then your chances are slim but try anyway you might get lucky! Irish job site: http://www.jobs.ie/
3 :
Unemployment of youths under 25 is somewhere in the region of 25%, with 14% unemployment overall. There is currently mass emigration from the country, with a huge number of young Irish people unfortunately being forced to looking to leave the country to find work(including myself). A large number of Irish people have gone on to some sort of 3rd level education, with many people with even postgraduate education being unemployed. To make a long story short: 1) Chances of you getting a work visa are slim to none. 2) Your only hope is to wait until the economic position in the country improves. 3) or to go further in your education and get yourself into a career that is in demand in the country. 4) Or perhaps looking to study on a student visa, it would be expensive, but would allow you to better yourself in education, as well as being allowed to work up to 20 hours a week(if you can find a job)

Listen love, we are still reeling from the economic fallout of last year, and Irish people are having trouble getting work here, so I don't fancy your chances at all. Do a search on non-EU nationals coming to Ireland for work on Yahoo Answers. Don't be too disappointed if you don't find what you are looking for.

Sadly there are no jobs in Ireland right now. My advise to you is read your newspapers, Google "recession Ireland" or look through the hundreds of similar questions in the "Discover" section of Y!A. Tens of thousands of our college graduates have emigrated to Canada and Australia to find work as there are no jobs here and another 50,000 are due to leave this year. There are not likely to be any jobs for the foreseeable future. Companies are going bust every day and laying off workers. My partner has been out of work for 16 months. Times are very tough. The way the situation is now there are no jobs for Irish people let alone Americans. To move here you need a confirmed job offer and Irish/EU nationals are given preference for any job vacancy as a rule unless it is a very specialised role and the only suitable candidate is from outside the EU. Why not try Canada seeing as its right next door to America

American wishing to apply for work visa for Ireland and/or Scotland summer 2009

American wishing to apply for work visa for Ireland and/or Scotland summer 2009?
I'd like to work in Ireland and/or Scotland next summer, but I was checking out the cost for a work visa there and it's outrageous! $742 or 500 Euro. I worked in south Korea for 3 years and my work visa was only $45 for a whole year there. I've also had several friends that never even bothered getting an overpriced working visa and still worked all over Europe. Is there a resource I'm not finding?
Other - Ireland - 3 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Seems about right, a student work visa for the US is about 300 euro, a H2B work visa for the States is the same provided you get sponsorship, if not it can cost thousands, so 500 euro to work here is hardly outrageous. You will of course need separate visas if you plan on working in both Scotland and the Republic of Ireland. You could keep costs down by choosing to work in Northern Ireland and Scotland instead, as you will need only one visa for that. With the downturn in the economy, I would not advise coming here without a visa, as employers can pick and choose who they hire and will not take on the risk of hiring an illegal immigrant. There is a working holiday visa, but Americans are not eligible to apply. If you are a student, there is an exchange programme you can apply for (a bit like the J1 - see link).
2 :
It's not that easy to work here in the UK, unless you want to be illegal here. There are new rules regarding migrant workers & more jobs are in demand than others. If you want to work illegally in the the UKby all means come anyway. The Customs will bust you right back to the USA if you do however.
3 :
First of all you need your passport not a visa. The passport is cheaper and last for 10 years. You have to apply for work in Ireland before you actually go to work there the job that hires you applies for your work visa.

(doesnt matter which country you are at, it is the same idea as connecting your computer using a cable through a router, switch or hub) however 3g network is going thru your telephone company. you must buy a plan! and almost all companies in United States have limit on monthly bandwidth. and for international use they charge pretty high as well! it just like the idea you are using your cell phone, they charge per minute, and for 3g network they charge per MB.

well, I m not from Greece, but from another EU state working in the UK. But rules are about the same in all EU. You must possess passport, or national identity card in order to work in other EU state. I think you will have to go to Greece in person. If you choose fast service to obtain passport, it may take only a day, provided you have you picture and documents. I m sure you will find all the requirements on the website. If their government website is not in English, try translating it with Google dictionary, it can translate whole internet page, and then you will continue clicking links in ENglish as well. Install Google toolbar, find Dictionary and it ll be easy. This way you ll get all the info you need on what's required for the passport. And don't hesitate make phone calls before you go. Greeks are not very into detail, so it s a good idea to doublecheck avery detail. Call through internet using very well known applicaition, www.voipstunt.com - they offer phone calls to most of EU for free. Other calls may cost from 1c to 4c/min. Good luck becoming EU national!

Many projectors have built in variable input power supplies now so you may not even need a converter. Check the owners manual when you get the projector. My Dell projector came with several power cords for different countries. The Dell projector's power supply will accept anything from 100 volts ac to 250 volts ac, 50 or 60 hertz.

He does not need a visa in advance, but he is likely to be thoroughly questioned on landing, particularly if he is transitting through London. Any sniff of the fact that he is planning to stay ("live with me" does not imply a holiday to me..) or, worse, violate his conditions by seeking employment, and you may well find him refused entry. I would recommend a 2 or 3 week holiday, and holding a proper return ticket and sufficient "pocket money".

Tell him to drop in on us at Ballydung. Rodge has developed a taste for those fajita things and I'm fairly partial to guacamole. It makes a change from cabbage and spuds all the time. We'll give him a room as long as he cooks for us whenever we're hungry. This could sometimes be when we come back from the Ballydung Arms at 3 in the morning after a lock-in so he'd better be on his toes. He can also give us a hand with milking the cows of a morning but he'd better keep his hands off our Latvian milk maid Valentina. She's ours!!

Sarah, it's very hard even for Irish people (and other EU nationals) to get jobs these days and quite possibly it'll be like that for the next few years. He'll have a hell of a time trying to get into Ireland tbh, especially in the current climate. Plus, while we may not like to admit it he may actually not be very welcome by many people here. I'd be uncomfortable with a non-Irish or non-EU national taking a job that an Irish person could do in the current economic climate. Sorry to have to say it but it's true. If you are in love etc, hen why don't you go to Mexico...you could teach English there and he could continue working -with both your incomes combined you'd get by but not as good as here in Ireland of course. The UK is an option but economies everywhere are suffering but the UK economy is still in a somewhat better position right now than the Irish economy, unfortunetly. Em, I don't mean to pry but how is he your bf if you are here and he is there? Were you there on holiday? If so immigration will look on that as a holiday whirlwind rromance. Did you live there previiously? Have you ever lived together? Remeber that some folks from poorer countries will do and say things simply to get to "richer" countries....that's simply the way it is.

If you really do want to be together then go to Mexico, do a TEFL course here, get the certificate and head to Mexico (just make sure you have a return ticket!....cause things have a way of going belly up sometimes!!!) Tell him you are thinking of moving to Mexico to be with him and see how he reacts, if he does "love" you then he should say "great, guapa!" if not then maybe you should reconsider your relationship?

You apply for visas and work permits (they are normally two different documents) to the embassy or consulate of the country that you are visiting Depending on your citizenship and the length of stay, you may not need a visa to visit. If you are a US citizen, you can stay for up to three months without a visa. However, you cannot legally work if you enter the country as a tourist. It is highly unlikely that you will be able to obtain a work permit and work legally. Your prospective employer would have to prove that there are no citizens of the European Union who are available and qualified for the job. Unless you have some extremely specialized skills, that's not going to happen.

If you're American, and do not have a parent that is an Irish citizen, the following conditions apply: Basically, you need at least a bachelor's degree, and a written offer of employment to present at customs when you arrive, or they're going to send you back on the next flight. If you're a student, you need all of your paperwork showing that you have been accepted at a particular university, and that you have the means to support yourself (financial aid or your own personal finances) while you are in the country. Ireland's economy is in a shambles right now, and even before the economic collapse, they were very protective of their unskilled employment, making it available only to Irish or EU citizens. You can visit Ireland as a tourist, without a pre-arranged visa, and stay for up to three months (if I recall correctly), but you would have great difficulty finding employment (it wouldn't be legal), or renting an apartment (also may not be legally possible), and you definitely wouldn't be able to apply to any universities.

The employment situation in Ireland is currently very bad, so if I were you, I'd look into going to college in Ireland instead.

Well done for wishing to try out this beautiful island! You could find yourselves a bit spoiled for choice. There are many places to consider so you may want to research each to make your minds up. The good thing is, you can get around the whole island fairly easily and you wherever you set up base, be sure to visit all the main culture centres. All cities here have their good bits and bad, cheap and upmarket. Here in Belfast where I live is fantastic, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. If you are not too fussy there are furnished apartments or 2 bedroom houses for as little as £300 p.c.m. However, furnished might mean just a sofa and a single bed in an otherwise empty house so always check exactly what you're paying for and you can often negotiate your lease to run month to month. There are 2 Universities in Belfast you might want to check out. The first is Queens University, which is located close to the city centre. It has so much going on there, you should look it up. The building itself is beautiful but I'm biased because I went there! The other is the University of Ulster. There are campus' around Northern Ireland, but again the Belfast campus is in the city centre. Student life in Belfast can be wild at times but it is what you make it. I am proud to say Belfast is one of the safest ( yes, safest!! ) cities in the U.K. and Ireland. As for work, all the major supermarkets absolutely love students so that shouldn't be a problem! Pick up an application form from customer services like I did. And if like me your luck is in, you'll start 3 days later! Hope some of this has been helpful. Belfast loves to welcome people from all across the globe and friendlier warmer people you will not meet. Its a great base to explore the entire island. You can get to Dublin in about 1hr 30. Cork is beautiful, my wife lived there for 5 years. If you like fishing, Galway and Mayo are fantastic. Fermanagh has loads to do. Basically everywhere on this island has something so pick a good base and take in as much of it as you can. I suppose I should mention flights to Europe are cheap from Ireland so you can always nip off to Paris, Rome or Madrid for a weekend too. I'm telling you, you will not want to leave these shores once you arrive. I know. I moved here from the Netherlands in 1995 and haven't looked back! Best of luck and I wish you and yours all the very best! Jordy

Can a doctor trained in Ireland work in the USA or Australia

Can a doctor trained in Ireland work in the USA or Australia?
If a doctor was board certified in Ireland and wanted to move and work as a doctor in USA or Australia what would they have to do? Would they have to re-train or do tests?

Yes if you pass the medical board exam here in the USA
2 :
They would have to show documentation that they actually finished medical school and got licensed. Then they undergo a review here, possibly take the boards and then can practice, This is fairly simple for Docs from Canada, Great Britain, Australia and many European countries, since the training is similar in these countries.

Which other countries can I visit without a visa if I have an Ireland work permit

Which other countries can I visit without a visa if I have an Ireland work permit?
I am about to be employed by a company in Ireland. I presume I would be getting a European Union Work Permit? Which other countries is the work permit good for (a) employment or (b) travel? What I mean to ask is, can I also work in some other countries with that work permit, or its only for Ireland? Which other countres can I visit (just for leisure) without requiring a Visa?

A work permit is good for employment in that country alone. So if you have work permit for Ireland, you will be able to work only in Ireland. I think you are confusing between a visa/residence permit and a work permit which are both different. Once you have a work permit you will get a residence permit (normally if the nature of your work is more than three months). There is a Schengen visa regime which is prevalent in most of Europe. This entitles you to travel within 23 ( i think) countries of Europe if you have the visa/residence permit of one country. Also, Switzerland allows visa free travel if you have residence permit of any Schengen country although it is not a Schengen country by itself. However, unfortunately, this does not apply to Ireland and the UK which are part of the EU but have not signed the Schengen protocol. So if you have an Irish residence permit, to travel to anywhere else in Europe; you will have to apply for a Schengen visa.

You can visit Dubai , Mauritius and Singapore where they are granting visa for a week only on arrival with certain fees in Dollars.Your work permit is valid for that country only.Further for your info Ireland is not the member of European Union.Please check this as referendum had gone against merger.

Welcome to Y!A I see you just registered today, strange that most people asking about finding work in Ireland are brand new Y!A users? Maybe they think its funny to post questions and get a rise out of the contributors in this section. I can't believe they are all totally ignorant of the world economy? I could be wrong. There have been about 10 questions in the past week about "moving to Ireland" and finding work here. Try reading previous questions/answers in the Discover section of Y!A that is what it is there for. Ireland is bankrupt, companies are going bust every day, young people are emigrating to Canada/Australia and there are no jobs for Irish and EU nationals let alone non-EU nationals. Basically if you are a genuine person enquiring on Y!A (which I doubt very much) you haven't a hope in hell of getting work here so stay where you are.

well if you're not Irish you'll get a job very easily
