Can I live and work in Ireland if I get an ancestry visa for the UK


Can I live and work in Ireland if I get an ancestry visa for the UK?
Also how long does it take to get an ancestry visa for the UK. We lost my grandmothers birth certificate is there a way to get a new one? We have her old passport stating she was a resident of the UK would that work just as good as her birth certificate or her arrival papers maybe?

If you get UK ancestry visa you are not allowed to work in any of the other EU countries. You are only allowed to work in the UK. That visa is just for the UK only. To prove it click the link below. More information the UK government is planning to abolish ancestry visa. Your granmother had just a residence permit to live in the UK. So she wasn't British. So how can you claim for ancestry visa? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1579415/Britain-may-abolish-ancestry-visa.html

Ireland is NOT part of the UK, so NO you cannot work in Ireland under the ancestry visa.
