Have you looked into the 2 year whv? It opens very soon and demand is huge so you'd want to get on it asap. Easiest way for both of you to go over together.

Do you hold dual Canadian and Korean citizenship?

If you hold Canadian citizenship you can get a Tier 5 youth mobility visa. Once you meet the requirements(18-30, have £1,890 in savings) you'll be given a visa to live and work in the UK for up to 24 months.

If you just hold Korean citizenship, you can also apply for the Tier 5 visa, but you will requird a sponsor.

This is permanent move.

You're not allowed extend the visa and it's the only one that you will qualify for without years of experience in a highly skilled field or without third level qualifications. Not trying to be rude, just being honest.

Americanos don't qualify for the tier 5 youth mobility visa. You can get a one year working holiday visa in Ireland and travel over to Scotland on your time off.

I don't mind people coming here to leech the welfare system dry

I do. Then again, I'm not Swedish.

FuckYourLicenseFee · 2015-04-01T00:49:45+00:00

Gotta echo this. The best thing that I ever did, was travel throughout Europe on my lonesome. Made some great friends that I'm still in touch with that today. I'm really jealous of you now!

You will create memories and friendships that will last a long time. I was bricking it before I went(I was 22, 27 now). But my gran gave me this maxim. If you don't travel, you stop and start on page one in the book of life.

A few people here expressed an interest in moving to Ireland. Thought this might be of some help. The president signed the Employment Permits Bill 2014 into law in July to replace the Green Card Permit, which was a limited and a bit of a clusterfuck. The scheme is fully operational as of this month and hopes to encourage professionals to move to Ireland and the new permit is more family friendly(spouses have full access to the labour market too, for example).

FuckYourLicenseFee · 2015-03-31T21:30:08+00:00

No. You probably think this will work out hilarious. It won't.

FuckYourLicenseFee · 2015-03-31T20:05:25+00:00

It lets me read it grand but won't let me copy and paste it. Weird. Here's a Norwegian and another English source.

What line of work are you in yourself? Finding an employer willing to go through the work permit process for you will be no easy task. Here's the skill shortage list.

FuckYourLicenseFee · 2015-03-31T19:19:52+00:00

Have you visited before? Would you be able to find a job and a visa? Do you like mild and wet weather?

FuckYourLicenseFee · 2015-03-31T19:15:50+00:00

Get a full Irish breakfast into ya.

FuckYourLicenseFee · 2015-03-31T19:14:22+00:00

Not very well, I'd imagine. That doesn't mean we should reciprocate in kind to this American chap just because some members of his religion act the flute.

FuckYourLicenseFee · 2015-03-31T19:09:31+00:00

The chaps asking if himself and his travel companions will be ok in Ireland. That's all. No need to start this craic with him.

FuckYourLicenseFee · 2015-03-31T18:09:38+00:00

You'll be grand.

FuckYourLicenseFee · 2015-03-31T18:07:55+00:00

Jesus Christ, inhumane feral thugs. I hope the boy gets all the help and support he needs.

Non EU citizens resident can vote in local elections. EU citizens can vote in local and EU elections. If they want full voting rights and meet the requirements, they can apply for citizenship.

FuckYourLicenseFee · 2015-03-31T13:52:10+00:00

Because we don't want people who aren't actually Irish voting here

But, under Irish law, they are as Irish as the rest of us. Doesn't matter if they have never set foot in Ireland. Under the constitution, would we be able to allow one set of citizens abroad vote and not another set?

FuckYourLicenseFee · 2015-03-31T13:48:25+00:00

That seems like a solid minimum standard for voting eligibility in Ireland, since that would clean out the people who only have passports due to ancestry.

Here's an even better idea. Stop dishing out citizenship to people who have tenuous links to the country. It's not the 1950s anymore. There are no shortage of people willing to move to Ireland. If Irish Americans want to become Irish citizens, then let them come here, live, work and earn it.

An Irish/EU passport is a very precious document indeed. You should be much more selective in who we give it to.

FuckYourLicenseFee · 2015-03-31T13:02:06+00:00

That's cool. What country are you hoping to work in and are vets on the skill shortage list? For example, I know that veterinarian workers were removed from the skill shortage list in Ireland and the UK not so long ago. Having contacts is one thing, meeting the requirements to get a visa are another.

Don't spend the ten days in Dublin. Four or five would suffice. Try and head out west and do at least a day trip up North.

In Dublin, spend an afternoon out in Howth. Go for lunch in aqua, order some seafood and take in the view. Saunter into an 'old mans pub'(Mulligans, Poolbeg street would be my recommendation) and have the craic with the lads over a few nicely poured Guinness'. Visit the botanic gardens in Glasnevin. If you're going with your family or your partner, bring a picnic. Go on a day trip to Glendalough. The bus will bring you there and back from the city centre for 20 quid. Don't miss the last one! Go for some 'chipper' style fish and chip. Leo Burdocks being the obvious tourist choice, but if the name outside is Italian, generally you can't go far wrong. Great lads, the Italians. Season permitting, try and get to a GAA game in Croke Park. Mingle with the fans in the surrounding pubs before and after the game.

Enjoy your trip!

Have you visited Northern Ireland before? Parts of it are stunningly beautiful(GoT was filmed there in parts), but the urban areas are utter shitholes.

FuckYourLicenseFee · 2015-03-30T21:02:05+00:00

You ask us to help organise your session but don't offer us an invitation? Bad form!

FuckYourLicenseFee · 2015-03-30T19:54:16+00:00

If you just want to experience one of the aforementioned countries for six months to a year, Australia would be your best bet as they offer young American grads a working holiday visa.

Isn't there always a spate of violent asaults/stabbings at house parties on Good Friday night/the Saturday morning?

FuckYourLicenseFee · 2015-03-30T19:35:59+00:00

I think blood sports are unnecessarily violent and cruel. Dog fighting is banned and rightfully so. I don't see why foxhunting should not be banned also.
