I would like to go Ireland, Live & Work there. Anybody can help me for this?

Question

Please let me advice some usefull tips to go Ireland.

Answer 1

If you're an EU national, the bureaucracy is greatly reduced, you only need a residency permit.

If you are not an EU national, I suggest contacting the Irish Embassy or Consulate in your country to find out what you need to do to live and work in Ireland.

Answer 2

To work, you will need a work permit. All the rules/regulations for that are set up by the Department of Enterprise, Trade, and Employment;

As someone else mentioned-unemployment is growing, as the economy is quite bad right now.

"Here’s a very short summary of some of the key features of the new employment system for non-EEA nationals:

Green Cards:

Where the annual salary (excluding bonuses) on offer is €60,000 or more, the Green Card Permit is available for all occupations. The Department gives themselves an out - "...other than those which are contrary to the public interest." So really well paid drug dealers need not apply. Those workers with high end skills – medical, financial, technical - are welcome, so long as they have a job offer from an Irish employer of between 30,000 and 60,000 Euro. After two years, green card holders may apply for permanent residency. If you can get one, Green Cards are more desirable than standard Work Permits which have more restrictions.

Work Permits:

There are two categories of application based on salary level.

Firstly, where the annual salary (excluding bonuses) on offer is €30,000 or more the Work Permit can be considered for occupations other than those which are contrary to the public interest. Secondly, Work Permits will only be considered for a very limited number of occupations below an annual salary of €30,000. A very long list of jobs are excluded from applying at all. As an example, hotel staff of any kind except chefs are ineligible to apply. After five years, work permit holders may apply for an unlimited work permit."

If you can claim citizenship, I would do that. You will not need a work permit if you are a citizen-if you were not born in Ireland, but a grandparent or parent was, then you can claim citizenship-contact the closest consulate to you. Irish citizenship costs about $216 right now. Also you can claim citizenship if you have a spouse who is an Irish citizen, but I don't remember how that works.

As far as living there goes, you can let or buy. Almost all lettings come furnished, so if you plan on bringing your own furniture you will need somewhere to store it (unless of course, you come across one which is not furnished). I'm not sure about buying, so I can't help much there.

Answer 3

hypersquirell is right there is a lot of unemployment at the moment but you should be able to get a job

Answer 4

I don't intend to be mean but unemployment is rising here and rising steadily. You will find it very hard to get a job.
