Only the U.S. has "green cards." though other countries do have a system for becoming a permanent resident there. t is always difficult. right now the economy in Ireland is in the trash can, unemployment is high , ant the government is cutting down on everything. The Republic of Ireland is a member of the European Union and all citizens of all other E.U. countries may live and work there without a visa. All jobs must be offered to them 1st...when there are any. Non-E.U. citizens ( like you) must apply for a visa. the only way to have any hope of getting a visa is to have a string of degrees and an astounding work skill in a much needed field that no European can do. That pretty much means that Americans simply cannot work in Europe, unless sent there by an American company to work in their branch there. This is not unique..it is similar in all countries. You would do better to look for a totally different part of the U.S., maybe the U>S. Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico. No visa problems there...and gorgeous, too. You can research " living in the U.S. V.I. or in Puerto Rico...plenty on line about them.

No. Ireland doesn't have green cards and you wouldn't get a job here in your current field. Also, if you think Ireland will give you a change of culture from the USA you will be sorely disappointed.
3 :
Actually, Ireland does have a green card system. http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employment/migrant_workers/employment_permits/green_card_permits.html In the current economic climate, the odds of getting one are virtually nil unless you have a PhD in one of the very few areas where we are short. Being a policeman won't be enough. Sorry. Maybe in a few years when the economy picks up.

Not a hope. Go to a country that has jobs available.
5 :
Citizens of countries outside the European Economic Area can apply to the Embassy to obtain permission to work in Ireland under the work authorisation and work visa scheme. This scheme only applies to individuals who are qualified in certain categories of employment. Baically, unless you qualify because your parent or grandparent was an Irish national....... you already need a job offer to get a visa and your first port of call is the Embassy in the US to get all the information you need. http://www.deti.ie/labour/workpermits/ http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employment/migrant_workers/employment_permits/

Hey, just an add on to what the others were saying. If i were you I would turn your attention to Australia or New Zealand. A few years ago they had a massive call to encourage overseas people to settle and work. This is not the same as a one year visa that a lot of people are on, but an opportunity to come and live permanently. I don't kow if it is still open, but at the time it was for police officers. You can also turn your attention to private security jobs if you wanted a change for a while, epecially if you can't get a job as a police officer. Or if you are willing to do any job then Oz and NZ are a great choice, Canada too. If you really are looking for a change in culture only then none of this options will fit the bill really. A lot fo similarites and not as different to the US as you might think. Best of luck, hope you find what you're looking for. If you can't get a visa sure come for a short trip. You'd be able to lots of research while you are hear and see what's available job wise.

Keep your options open.... maybe not the best time, but depending on your skills you never know. You wouldn't be able to do an international transfer into The Garda Siochana, but through the normal recruitment process. http://www.garda.ie/Controller.aspx?Page=213&Lang=1 Failing that, have you considered Interpol? http://www.interpol.int/Public/Icpo/Recruitment/default.asp

No, he cannot because he is not a citizen. Also, Europe looks to whether you would be a useful addition to the workforce rather than you have a relative there. If an employer wanted to offer you a job, this could work. But unless you have some great skills and qualifications, this is not going to happen.

Yeah, you would just need an plug adaptor.
2 :
NO! no American plugs work in Ireland you will cause a fire if you try
3 :
Hello: No it will not. You would need a voltage converter and an adapter. The plugs are different and the power is different (in terms of voltage). You would need something like this for example: http://www.topmic.com/141-0703.html Its both an adapter and a converter. Best of luck.
