Moving to Ireland and working there? I'm American?

Question

I've got a bachelor degree, and I'd like to live and work in Ireland, and eventually become nationalized as a citizen. My grandmother was born in Ireland, but she can't find her birth certificate, so this is really the only way I could do it. How how is it to do it if you're college educated and can contribute to the economy? thanks

Answer 1

As a US citizen, you have no legal right to work here. U.S. passport holders must have a valid work permit before they are allowed to enter into employment in Ireland. However, don’t give up. A visa-required national who has an offer from an employer in Ireland of employment may be given a working visa by an Irish Embassy or Consulate.

Contact the embassy in Washington: http://www.irelandemb.org


There are also Irish consulates in New York, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco.

Good Luck.

Answer 2

If she can't find her birth certificate she can just apply for an new one, might cost all of $10. My advice, get all the paper work together for her show her where to sign & then it will get done. It is very uncomplicated for her to get a replacement & would be a silly reason for you not to claim Irish citizenship.

TRUST ME getting Irish citizenship through your grandmother is going to be a MILLION times easier than dealing with immigration issues. As an Irish citizen you will have full rights but as a non- national immigrant your rights are servely limited.

Answer 3

i think that only counts if both or 1 of your birth parents is Irish. i think you may have a fight on your hands if your Granny's birth certificate is the only way in. i am not sure though

Answer 4

in case you have Jobs there you're doing o.k. .the country is in a foul way financially you will pay taxes there by way of pay as you earn ..your employer deducts it and you document your US taxes as general ..a call for for individuals
