WCATT and UK work restriction

Post by room1102 » Wed Jan 05, 2011 4:32 pm

Hi all.

Would anyone has any knowledge about work in Norther Ireland? I recently has been granted WCATT. I might get a job offering in Northern Ireland. As far as I know, WCATT is not covering Northern Ireland, but is that possible to work in Northern Ireland during the day and come back to live on the south at night legally?

Thank you.

Thank you.
WCATT is an Irish stamp issued by INIS. NI is UK and is under UKBA, RoI and NI are two completely different jurisdictions even though only few minutes away. For someone as a non-EU to work in NI they should have a work visa issued by UK authorities just like they would need when working here in RoI by Irish authorities. You can most certainly live in RoI and commute to NI for work, but you would require UK visa & national insurance number to work up the north as a non-EU.
