Need help to immigrate to Ireland.

Post by Chantelle » Fri Mar 11, 2016 6:55 am

Hi. Hope someone can assist. We would love to immigrate to Ireland from South Africa. But it seems impossible. :cry:

It seems to be a catch 22. You need work before you can apply for a Visa but the companies don't want to employ you if you don't have a Visa?

Is there any other way?

Can't a company sponsor your visa application if it wants to employ you?

It depends on your/spouse skill set and whether you qualify for a work permit. Why only Ireland? Have you explored any other EU/UK country? Some are easier than others, but again, depends on your skills/qualifications etc.

No UK Ancestry that you know of (UK born grandparents)??
