hi, i'd advise you to contact the corresponding agency in your country, they will find you a family in the required country, get in touch with the family, help you to fill all the necessary documents and application forms for getting visa. Though it would be more expensive as you'll have to pay for the agency services. Anyway you can find the family you like on your own, try this site, you'll have to register there. i did it myself a year ago, all went perfect. http://www.aupair-world.net/

Working in Ireland without a work permit

Working in Ireland without a work permit?
I want to move to Ireland, but I can't get a work permit, since I would be working at a simple restaurant. How would I get around this? Would I need a work permit?

It depends where you are from. If you are from the E.U. you will not need a work permit, however, if you are from outside the E.U. you will need a permit, but it may be possible to get one for one year. you should check this out with the Irish Embassy in you country, or if there is none in your country, then there may be one in a neighbouring country, which may also act for you. The best of luck to you. Slan Leat.(goodbye)

In another question you mention that you're of Scottish descent, if your parents or grandparents were Scottish, it might be worth exploring whether or not you could get a British passport that would enable to live & work in the Republic of Ireland without the need for a visa. However, if you do need a visa to work & live in the Republic of Ireland I would strongly advise you to seek one out, if you could get work illegally you leave yourself vulnerable to exploitation & if you get caught and you're deported it will have an impact on any plans you might have to settle elsewhere in Europe or the UK.
