Question

I am trying to obtain Irish Citizenship, since its in the EU, may I get a job in the UK w/out needing a visa?

Answer 1

Once you will have Irish passport, yes u can get a job in UK without any visa or any other restrictions.

Answer 2

Um yeah, but then why not just try for UK citizenship? You can work anywhere in the EU without a visa, you will need a job to go to before you leave Ireland though, and obviously you won't get any benefits if you're in the UK and not working.

Answer 3

You will need to have lived in Ireland for a number of years before you can obtain citizenship, and then get an Irish passport. If you are from the E.U. then you will not need a visa to work in the U.K. however, if you are not from the E.U. and are trying to get into the U.K. by using Ireland as a back door to gain entrance, you will find it almost impossible now.

Answer 4

Ireland citizenship laws are pretty generous with heritage.  If even you had as much as a great grandparent born in Ireland, you might qualify for citizenship.  See http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/WP0...

If you do succeed in getting an Irish citizenship, it will open the door for you for all of the EU job market, including the UK.
