Can I use a 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?

Yes you can, and it is a lovely country to be in. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did
2 :
first of all you are entitled to a UK passport, which makes you a UK citizen. Second as the UK is part of the EU you are entitled to work and travel, study, vote, in any other EU member state such as Ireland or france, germany etc. Third even if the UK was not part of the EU the irish and brittish governments have had an argeement for many years that allowed a citizen of either country work in another, and this includes the republic. 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.

Yes you certainly can stay and live in Ireland permanently. For 2 reasons. 1 because the UK is part of the EU. But also because Ireland and the UK also have their own common community travel area zone. You are even allowed to live in Ireland and claim social welfare and benefits because you have a UK passport. Enjoy your stay in Ireland.

yes you are allowed to be here for as long as you like and as far as i know you are allowed dual citizenship. i have two passports and i've had no trouble. hope you enjoy it here. stay south (munster). its nicer there.

What all do I need to be able to work in Ireland?
How old does one have to be and what are the requirements to get a part time job in Ireland? I'm 16 and from America and planning on staying for a year full time student and part time job. I have arranged to stay with a family friend and know I need visas and permits but no where I look is clear about exactly all I need. Please 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.

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.

How can i stay and possibly work in Ireland for about a month this spring
How can i stay and possibly work in Ireland for about a month this spring?
I am a massage therapist and esthetician and I would live anywhere in Ireland for a month or so just to be able to really see the country but can't really afford to stay in hotels or B& B's for a month. Any ideas? I am a U S citizen

What nationality are you? This makes a big difference in your eligibility to work or not. If you are an EU citizen you can, if you are US citizen you can't. Stay in hostels, are WAY cheaper than hotels & B&Bs, you get to meet lots of people that are travelling & will get lots of tips of where is worthwhile to go see.
2 :
First of all Ireland is VERY expensive so you'd want to stay in a B&B!!! Anyway you will need permission to work as you are a US citizen.....but work permits are not too hard to get!!! Good Luck
3 :
You could get a short term contract in a call centre! They never really require any experience, they just provide you with training. You should consider staying in hostels? Here are some useful sites Non-European applicants must have permission to work in Ireland http://www.discoverireland.ie/ http://www.irishtourist.com/ For jobs http://www.nixers.ie/
