My husband and I would like to move/work in Ireland for a year. Any advice on how to do that?
We have ehard that it is nearly immposible for US Citizens to move and work in Ireland and would are hoping that is not true. We are currantly in banking/accounting, but are willing to do any line of work as long as we are able to pay our bills and have a little extra spending money. I would love to talk with someone who has been able to do this! Thank you for your advice!

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!

o.k apply for your visa's first of. then contact the banks in ireland http://www.nationalirishbank.ie http://www.bankofireland.ie http://www.aib.ie there are others but these are the main three banks, as for accomodation log on to, http://www.sherryfitzgerald.ie good luck.

I actually did this in 1991. I had relatives in Ireland and I am very Irish with an Irish last name. If you can do work in the hospitality industry and you don't need to make a lot of money you can get by. If you want to email me I will tell you how i did it....oh yea my cousin is an accountant in Cork. My email address is my user name at yahoo.com good luck to you which is "ádh mór ort" in Gaelic R.G Mc 3

you MUST still apply for a work permit. getting married does not give you automatic rights to live anywhere.

Work in Ireland, what is it like for young people? I am going with my daughter who will be 17

Work in Ireland, what is it like for young people? I am going with my daughter who will be 17?
I plan to move to Ireland in Jan 2009 and will go with my daughter who will be 17 yrs old and graduated from secondary school. Can someone tell me what the situation is like now in Dublin for someone her age, both for work and socially.

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!!
6 :
I am Irish, and I hope that you find Ireland a friendly and relaxed place to live. I am sure that you will enjoy it here. I have found a website that has loads of interesting links to travel and living in Ireland - the links change regularly so check back a few times if there isn't what you are looking for straight away. It is http://www.partofireland.com Enjoy your visit to Ireland! Steve.

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.
8 :
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.
