Answer 1

Since i am Irish i would like to say that you should move here.It is a great country to live in and although you may hear us complaining about our weather or something of no importance, we all as a nation are proud to be irish.There is no reason why you shouldnt move here we have a unique culturesuch as the language,food,sport and music that is exclusive to our country,we are mostly friendly(except when we've gone a few hours without a cup of tea haha).However i'll just give you a few tips before you decide:Due to unprecedented economic growth since about 1995 Ireland has seen year on year,double digit economic growth and is now one of the richest countries in the world this means the cost of living is very high and so i would advise you to bring lots of money with you when you come over,however once you get a job you should be grand because we are very well paid in this country(minimum wage Euro8.65/hour or about 12 dollars an hour and i think in the US its only like 4 or 5 dollars an hour haha).Thats the only negative thing i have to talk about(high cost of living)but like i said once you get a job on irish wages you'll be able to afford irish prices.So come on over drink guinness and tea,watch gaelic football,listen to our music and hear our native language Gaeilge ( just called Irish).Let me just say Chead Mile Failte(100,000 welcomes in Irish)

you want to move to Ireland and yet you know nothing about it. Seems a tad strange my friend.

There are good websites and books available on the subject.

Good Luck

Answer 4

Let me say this again.  You have to look for a job before you get there and get accepted.  You cannot go to Ireland from the US and look for a job.  You are not allowed to on your passport and if you are caught you are on your way back home.

There are other ways of going you can look for a job teaching english to other teens there are lots of volunteer work that can give you an introduction to Ireland.

Go to http://www.allthingsshannon.com and look at moving to ireland and visas.  There is also some links to employment agencies in Ireland

Answer 5

1. You'll need to get a passport.

2. Find a job, if accepted the employer applies for the work visa for you, not you. You might want to go there for just a few days and look for a job while you are there, that's the easiest way.

3. If you were accepted for a job (which is hard by the way because there are usually plenty of Irish people there that could do the job), the best way to live and work there is if you go to a college or university there.

4. If you lose your job and cannot support yourself with any savings you will have to leave the country. If you can find another job quickly the new employer will have to apply for another work visa for you. Every time you leave a job or get fired your new employer will have to apply for a new work visa for you.

5. Then you can apply for Irish citizenship after 5 years of continuously living and or working there.

***Note***

It can take up to 3 - 6 months to get work visas. You would need to be able to support yourself in between these times if you lose your job or get fired.

***Also you will need to keep in contact with the embassy in Ireland and fill out any and all necessary paperwork while you are living and working there.

Good luck, it won't be easy :).

Answer 6

Answer 7

I would say Moyross in Limerick (the Emerald city) would be a lovely place for anybody to live. You dollars are worth very little over here though

Answer 8

Your best bet would be to look for a job before you get here because it can be expensive depending which part of the country you want to go to.  There are lots of online sites eg www.irishjobs.ie and for accommodation try www.daft.ie .A lot of people who visit&decide to live Ireland for a while seem to like it and there are lots of places you can visit both in the capital and outside it, people are friendly too.
