American wishing to apply for work visa for Ireland and/or Scotland summer 2009?
I'd like to work in Ireland and/or Scotland next summer, but I was checking out the cost for a work visa there and it's outrageous! $742 or 500 Euro. I worked in south Korea for 3 years and my work visa was only $45 for a whole year there. I've also had several friends that never even bothered getting an overpriced working visa and still worked all over Europe. Is there a resource I'm not finding?

Seems about right, a student work visa for the US is about 300 euro, a H2B work visa for the States is the same provided you get sponsorship, if not it can cost thousands, so 500 euro to work here is hardly outrageous. You will of course need separate visas if you plan on working in both Scotland and the Republic of Ireland. You could keep costs down by choosing to work in Northern Ireland and Scotland instead, as you will need only one visa for that. With the downturn in the economy, I would not advise coming here without a visa, as employers can pick and choose who they hire and will not take on the risk of hiring an illegal immigrant. There is a working holiday visa, but Americans are not eligible to apply. If you are a student, there is an exchange programme you can apply for (a bit like the J1 - see link).

It's not that easy to work here in the UK, unless you want to be illegal here. There are new rules regarding migrant workers & more jobs are in demand than others. If you want to work illegally in the the UKby all means come anyway. The Customs will bust you right back to the USA if you do however.

First of all you need your passport not a visa. The passport is cheaper and last for 10 years. You have to apply for work in Ireland before you actually go to work there the job that hires you applies for your work visa. SO start looking today a good site for Jobs in Ireland is Allthingsshannon.com

Will an American Laptop with Wi-Fi work to connect to the Internet In Europe? Specifically Ireland
Will an American Laptop with Wi-Fi work to connect to the Internet In Europe? Specifically Ireland?
My friend is visiting from Ireland and wants to purchase a laptop. But he is concerned that the wi-fi will not work in Ireland. Informed users please advise. Obviously he needs to have an ISP in Ireland. But it's the hardware that I'm concerned about.

it should work... the only thing that he might have to worry about is his ac adapter.. the voltage might not be compatible for a US product and he might have to bring a power converter.. i know this because i traveled to israel, spain, and greece and my laptop worked fine i just needed an power converter for my charger

Should work fine, just the AC is different than that of the US of A.. Good travelling...

wifi is different from 3g netowrk!! if your computer has wifi you can connect to any network that is hosted with an access point, with proper username and password. (doesnt matter which country you are at, it is the same idea as connecting your computer using a cable through a router, switch or hub) however 3g network is going thru your telephone company. you must buy a plan! and almost all companies in United States have limit on monthly bandwidth. and for international use they charge pretty high as well! it just like the idea you are using your cell phone, they charge per minute, and for 3g network they charge per MB.
