Working in Ireland without a work permit

Working in Ireland without a work permit?
I want to move to Ireland, but I can't get a work permit, since I would be working at a simple restaurant. How would I get around this? Would I need a work permit?

Which country are you coming from? And, yes, of course you would...

It depends where you are from. If you are from the E.U. you will not need a work permit, however, if you are from outside the E.U. you will need a permit, but it may be possible to get one for one year. you should check this out with the Irish Embassy in you country, or if there is none in your country, then there may be one in a neighbouring country, which may also act for you. The best of luck to you. Slan Leat.(goodbye)

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.

looking for blue collar work in Ireland? sorry nothing happening in that genre here for the moment the only type of work available in Ireland today is 'farming' (brown collar stuff) good luck in your search
2 :
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/

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?

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).

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.

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. SO start looking today a good site for Jobs in Ireland is Allthingsshannon.com
