How does a green card work with Ireland? I doubt I will be able to obtain a work visa so I am wondering if this will be a better option...

The Green Card actually is nothing more than a work visa for two years which requires sponsoring of an Irish employer who is living to instate you and apply for the two year valid Green Card (fee: รข‚¬1,000). It requires approval by the appropriate Irish authorities, your employer must show that s/he was not able to fill the gap by making use of the Irish or the European Union workforce..

If you're not an EU national, forget the whole idea. The economy here is not good at the moment, you'd have to apply for a job from your country of origin, and even with job offer in writing from Ireland, there's no guarantee that you'd get the necessary residency/work permit. Irish employers are obliged to employ locals first, then EU nationals if they can't find suitably qualified locals to do the job. Right now there are 40, 50 applicants for any one job. If you have a job where you are, stay there.

I agree with Orla, there aren't enough jobs for the Irish people, let alone foreigners. The irish should be first priority for job vacancies, Ireland is a country crippled right now, some people are really selfish they don't need an influx of thousands of Americans. Ireland for the Irish. Erin Go Bragh they have been through enough hardship they don't need any more. Leave them in peace, let them be.

I just answered your other similar question. There is no point you even trying to get work in Ireland, we are in the depths of recession, there are no jobs and no job creation schemes. Around 430,000 people are currently out of work, it's a long queue to join the back of. Businesses are closing, small companies are going bust. Things are desperately bad here. Many young Irish people are emigrating to Canada and Australia to find work. Stay where you are.

Your best bet would be to enroll in a course, and then come over on a student visa. Assuming your course is accredited you will then be able to work up to twenty hours a week. Good luck finding a job over here though. There are currently over 400,000 people out of work in Ireland -- and the economy shows no signs of picking up. I'd postpone moving if I were you, at least for a couple of years.
